The picture above is not sold like that. It was pieced together by 3 different kits:

1 - Twin Intake: Click Here
and
2 - CAI's Kits that leave the hemi hat on: Click Here

You will also need 2 3.5" to 3" couplers Like these: Click Here

And If you really want to keep the heat away, you use a 3.5" coupler with 45 degree bend (as the one has in the picture above) to lift the twin section up away from the engine, Like this one: Click Here

If you go with that setup, you're looking around $292 total for everything you'll need.

Mine is directly behind the passenger headlight. I wouldn't take it much further down than that. I was a little concerned with moisture getting to the filter, however I took a pressure hose to the front, hitting the headlight and grille area right there, trying to get water to the filter. After spraying it down for a couple of minutes, I popped the hood, and was surprised to see that the area right there was completely dry. Now if you get the one that goes even lower, down by the bumper, I would think that if you went through a good rain storm, you may suck up some water through the intake.

Has anyone used a Spectre 9932. It looks just like the Mopar CAI. Any thoughts? Spectre also has all the parts to make one.
