I've got a lot of time off over the next few months (yes I said months) and wanted to work on a DIY Air Intake. I was curious if anyone has done one for an '05 and might have a list of parts already done. This would really help me out since I'm a complete rookie at this. I love the one keithhud made in this post https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...emade-cai.html.

 

good luck! just make sure when your done pics are up!

 

there are plenty of DIY intake posts...get searching...Rengnath's is arguably the best at getting cold air to the intake unless your brave enough to cut your hood and install a functional hood scoop ala blown/trucky/ericemery.....

 

Ha I was just going to ask you if you knew anything on this topic! I'm researching as I type so hopefully I'll be able to get something going. I'd love to have it in by the end of the week. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

Ueland has a slick setup also.His uses the stock box ans it is sealed and a bigger hose on the intake side

Any ideas on how to keep the air temp sensor in place? Mine is held in by turning it and locking it in place.

 

i got some 75$ cai off ebay and my sensor is held in by a plain old rubber grommet. hasnt fallen out yet and i drive the hell out of it

 

you know you can go to pepboys or autozone and they have different size pipes with different angles and they have cupplers to connect em and buy a filter...50-60 bucks to easy man!

 

Mine is held in with a rubber grommet also. I paid $45 for mine off ebay. I just can't see spending 350 for a brand name when you can either buy a cheap one from ebay or even cheaper, make it yourself. K&N, Airraid, etc are ridiculously overpriced for what they are. Then only drawback is these cheaper ones are not insulated from hot engine bay temps. Mine sucks air from right over the exhaust manifold, but I will make some sort of deflector/insulator for it one of these days, or I'm going to get some b@lls and make my own forced air intake with a hood scoop....
