My K&N sounded much better when I put it on. Didn't pick up any mpg's to speak of.

 

I think aftermarket CAI's are a huge waste of money , been there , done that . Your only gonna pull what ever CFM of air the TB , engine and exhaust are designed for , the stock intake is adequate for unmodded engines . Get an Amsoil drop in and save your dough . The stock filters can be improved upon .

Just my opinion

 

Stock filters a junk!

In other words buy a drop in k&n.

 

alright well thanks for all of your "wisdom" guys, haha i deffineltly am goin for looks with the CAI, and thanks to dakotas ram i think of all 3 of those im goin to buy it now on the 3rd one cuz it seems promising cuz it has the sheild and if i really wanted too for more airflow i can always pick up a K&N filter to put on the end of it if the one that come with it sucks... again thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it

 

Like I said earlier, heat shields don't do squat. Buy it for the looks if you buy that one. Heat shields have little to no effect.

 

If you want a Hemi Orange K&N FIPK, I have one.

 

How about taking the stock housing and tube, cleaning it real good, and spray it silver? LOL That will help dissipate heat, and along with a K&N or other brand drop in filter, we should be good to go. Kind of funny all the boxes and heat shields are black.

 

I took aluminum duct tape and wrapped my K&N in it, til I took that all off, sanded it smooth, and painted it orange.
