Default What Cold Air Intake do you have?

Hey all, I have an 01 RAM with a 5.9L gas engine, I'm trying to figure out which cold air intake system to get for my truck? What are you guys running? Are you happy with it? Thanks.

Mines broken.....I guess it's just as good to replace it with factory CAI rather than buy an aftermarket?

MUCH cheaper just to go to the yard, and pull something off of a dead truck. For the money they want for the CAI systems, it simply is not worth it. There is no performance gain to be had. None. Zero.

No, no, no. That was from the hamster-powered Turbo he installed. Just make sure you don't run out of amphetamines for the hamster.

CAI's don't really give you enough horsepower to justify the money spent on it.

I had a K&N for awhile. Didn't do squat for power, in fact it probably robbed me of power. I took it off and put factory box back on. The truck just feels more responsive with stock system. Want my K&N?
