Thanks everyone for comments.

WTEBOY703 I hear you. The first time I heard it, I thought OMG is that the same motor.

I wish this site had been around or I had thought of making a CAI for my 2001 Dakota. I would have saved about $150

DakDak, it's all 3" ABS pipe couplers and elbows. I just went down to Lowes and started putting couplers and elbows together. I also picked out a pre-cut 2' by 3" ABS pipe and ABS glue. All told I think I spent around $20 to $25 bucks.

You'll want to get a 3" filter either dry or oiled. I had the 3" K/N from my old truck.

Hope that helps and is what you were looking for.

I just love the sound of my CAI. Sounds like I stole my mother's Hoover and put it underneath the hood at idle, and it roars under WOT.

I personally have not heard the v8 with cai. I have the 3.7L and I didn't have the reaction these guys did, but it does make a HP difference. (I wonder if I can't hear it because of the flowmaster 44 and no resos?)
