that looks like a prett good setup...the problem i had with my ebay intake is that the filter and pipe started to rust after only 3 months and it made the really annoying whistling sound...i have an AEM brute force on mine that i got from ebay for like $165 shipped to my house, it's been 6 months with it so far and have had no issue and i love it...but i do like the one you have

I as well got one on Ebay... figured... 45 bucks? beats 200... 300... or what ever it was... But like you guys... the lack of instuctions sucked... But it was'nt hard to install.. . just needed to know where togo with that bracket...so i threw it away and hung it with light duty cable... But the filter on the other hand... is by far.... not up to doing it's job... It looks nice... But it is just a screen... you know ... that stuff on the other side of your bedroom window?? ... no real filtration.... So i ended up gettin a filter... But i do feel it was worth it.. But for those who want to know.. here it is... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...spagenameZWDVW

Raptor, check out the thread called "a different CAI...." started by old BWhite, it has pics of EXACTLY what you are talking about. That dual intake by itself is stupid, because it is sucking hot air...it is a COLD air intake, not a HOT air intake LOL,

but it looks kinda cool to do the "twintake" like the pics BWhite posted...Also, check out my thread about my homemade CAI and tell me what you think

Well, I do not think that it will provide any real benefit, aside from looking cool. But i agree, that looks sweet. I am not sure where BWhite came up with that pic...he would be the one to ask.
