Default CAI question

Looking for a little help here guys. Has anyone bought an Airraid or K&N CAI yet for an 08 Dakota with the 4.7? I'm dying to get one for my 08 TRX but can't seem to find out what the deal is. K&N doesn't show anything available yet, but Airraid shows the same part number fitting the 05 through 08. I don't see how that's possible since the new 4.7 has a different stock plenum, intake tube and all. I had an Airraid 300-175 for my 05 and sold it after it got wrecked because it didn't look like there was any way it would fit the 08 with the new intake configuration.

Any help from any of you guys who may know or already installed one on your 08 would be appreciated.

Thanks

Should I take advice from someone with "Hack" as a username? Haha.

Seriously though, thanks for letting me know. And yea, the Airraid on my 05 howled like a sumb*tch. Looks like I should have kept it afterall. :/

I just don't see how the same part fits. The location and length of the intake tube that goes from the plastic 'plenum' to the intake seems like it needs to be a lot longer on the new configuration. Oh well, what the hell do I know? :P
