Mine is an 06 and I think everything from 06 and up should be the same except for the tailights. My intake actually says that it is for a 3.7. I just went to ebay and typed 3.7 dodge intake and if you goto the ebay stores at the bottom there are a lot more choices. Not sure if a 4.7 one will fit but I know some of them say 3.7 and 4.7.

did yours look like this before you took your box off, and do you think it made a difference going strait to the throttle body, instead of the box

Default RE: Air Intake

The key item to know about V6 air intakes
is that with their smaller cubic inch displacement
they have even less need for lower restriction
at higher rpm and full throttle.

You can find this out for yourself
by measuring the IAT sensor and MAP sensor
before and after a CAI install
and then can send the CAI back for a refund
...unless you are really after more noise
and a flashy look that impresses only those who don't understand engines

sounds sweet at idle/moderate acceleration...but kinda "iffy" at high rpms...but oh well...that also might be cause of the intake too. but yea, it's a lot more "rumblier" than it sounds on my digital camera video. when i use my remote start to start it when it's outside, and i'm in the back of house, i have no problem hearing it.

i think the chrome fronts only look better when with the painted nose (let's say i had a red nose...the then the chrome bumper/grill...cool) but when i see the noses like ours, with chrome, i think it looks dumb.

go with a Trueflow XDI intake. I cant say it necessarily is a CAI because it doesnt directly go down to suck in cold air...but it has a dry filter and the intake vaccum hole is 5 inches...thing helped improve my low end torque like crazy...
