Default CAI Intakes and Opinions

Ok I am looking for a CAI for my 07' Dodge Dakota Laramie w/ a 4.7 Magnum and opinions on which is worth it. I have been looking at KNs 77 Series High Flow Performance Kit and the 63 Series Air Charger, but I am open to other suggestions. As far as being worth it I am looking for more or less the best setupfor the money. If the topichas been covered I apologize, Ihavent had a chance to look through all the posts yet. Thanks in advance for any input.

i went with the 63 series. purchased it off ebay 212.00. real easy to install. also get a cai with a heat shield, some dont come with one. also with the 63 series you can relocate your iat sensor away from the engine heat

Volant is making a molding from my truck right now. I won't know the hp increase until 6 weeks from now. But I will keep everyone informed. They will be doing a dyno on my truck too. It's a 4.7HO.

I love my AEM Brute Force CAI. No need to oil the filter after you clean it and it is very easy to install.

I have the airaid intake. I like it but it really don't matter which one you get they all are pretty good. Just depends on how much you want to spend. Hell you could make your own out of pvc pipe buy a filter and make a heat shield for less than you will spend on a kit.
