Hello,
Just waiting for my spectre air filter to arrive so I can get my DIY CAI installed. Have been thinking...I just happen to have a piece of 4" stainless flex tube sitting in the garage. I was thinking about running it from the lower passenger side fog lamp hole (I have just holes, no lights) up to where the air filter will be. Sort of a ram air set-up. Wadda ya all think? Yes, no, maybe so? Any benefit or any possible problems this may cause? Sounds kinda cool to me. Anybody tried it?
Oh yeah...almost forgot. How do you get the air sensor out of the stock HEMI hat box? I don't want to break it.
Thanks!

twist and pull the sensor out.. i just installed a airraid intake i got for free, i made a 4" cai with the k&n filter but i didnt have the box around the filter so it was more like a hot air intake.. this one seals to the hood so all the cool air flows right into the filter.. im going to make a 4" tube to go to the airraid box when i get time.. 4" intakes sound SOOOOOO much better then 3!

I did this exact thing with my '07 hemi. Tube from CAI to fog lamp hole. I absolutely noticed a gain, especially as RPM and Speed started climbing, I could fill a bit more pull on the high end. Last week, that pull was gone. I was thinking wtf is going on... i popped the hood open and the damn thing fell out! lesson learned, tighten it good haha.

I have never posted a single picture in my life. I will ask my teenagers how to do it. I was kinda wondering how I would secure everything under the hood when I do it...will close my eyes and daydream about it tomorrow at work! As for the hydrolock thing...really? I didn't think that a mist or small spray would do that if it was raining. How much messed you up and managed to get in to do it?
Thanks
Thanks
