Any thoughts on the K&N intake system for the '06 3.7L V6?

I have been researching and I am thinking about purchasing this intake:


Anyone else using it that has a suggestion or input?

 

I have the K&N CAI. on my trucks and i love it. But that is just me.
Some guys don't.

 

Does Mopar make an intake for the 3.7L. Either they don't make one or I am not finding it.

I have already put the K&N stock filter replacement in. Not that it is making any difference other than a little easier breathing. I like K&N I had them on both of my passed cars. But I figured if it is a Dodge I might as well go Mopar.

 

I think they do make a CAI, but i don't know if they make it for the 3.7L.

 

Oh well, I'll just have to go with the next best thing and get the K&N. I like it because it isn't metal. I don't want my truck to be loud, I wanna keep it deep and throaty.

 

That's one of the things i also like, that isn't metal. To me the metal will get hot.

 

Yeah, from my experience CAI is a huge misconception. The only thing it really does is take away all of the restrictions that your stock system has. The air it is sucking in is still hot from the engine bay and even if it was sucking in air any cooler its not gonna make a much of a difference anyway.

I am still kind of new to the world of trucks or domestic cars in general, I have always been an import enthusiast. My previous car was a built Toyota MR2 Turbo. That car was not meant to be a daily driver by any means though. My ultimate goes with this truck is to make it as fuel efficient as I can while tweaking a little more power out.

I think with intake, header, exhaust, superchip, and maybe a regear this truck could easily be 230-250wbhp and still make 20-22MPG. Am I crazy?

 

20-22 MPG!!!! That's dam good. I get 10 MPG in the SRT-10 and 12 to 14 in the HEMI.[:@]
But i have alot of fun doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Have you chipped or tuned either one of them? I bet you could chip it and jump 6-8 MPG.

 

I can't chip them, my PCM's have been flashed. For the HP you have to give something up.
And what i can see, it's the MPG.
