The main changes I noticed with the CAI was the sucking when floor boarded and better throttle response.
The noise reminds me of the old unsilenced air cleaners of the performance Mopars of the 60's.

ya i have k&n i got from someone on craigslist. but after i got it i noticed it was for a dakota or durango so it wasnt as long.. so im debating on a few mainly spectre then call them and get new air hat.. or the 14x3 or possibly the s&b but most likly not that one since its enclosed and i love hearing the sucking sound under the hood.. its funny ill hit the gas with friends in the car and they say it sounds like lasers shooting from my engine.. has a loud sucking that sounds like a laser!

so wut ur trying to say is that the 14x3 air cleaner will wrk as good or better that a cai? i mean ive heard that they out perform the cai but idk. the whole point of the cai is to get cold air.. the 14x3wont give u any cold air.... i want to buy either the 14x3 or the spetre cold air.. or maybe eve the s&b.. but first i gotta get a better understanding on are trucks and how they react to the cold air vs the 14x3..
14x3 you see low end loss, but more top end, the CAI is the opposite.

I found (seat of the pants) gains across the board with my K&N FIPK2, compared to the stock setup, with the greatest gain coming in the top end. Assuming it's at least somewhat accurate, K&N's dyno curves also fit my seat of the pants experience.
k&N will not make a system if they can't get added power over factory. but they do some of the most extensive dyno trials, to get the most out of them. i just wasn't set to pay for K&N this time for the truck, as i have for several of my previous DD's. that and i wanted money for other parts as well. the snorting is the sound of fun and fuel levels dropping rapidly. as for the water to top of motor its possible my heat shield is riddled with drops of dirty water spots. so, yes, water can get all over the inside of engine bay just on road driving. sock to arrive this next week. for its rain season and i will be doing more gravels for fishing this year with it.
