for a fraction of the price, you get over 90% of the performance increase. they have ones as cheap as $25 for the basic one with one of their filters.
I got mine for a sweet 59.99 and it was a ram air dual filter

Yea but will that dual filter fit to the 3.7? but That is pretty sweet looking id deffinatly like that.

but was thinking of eventually getting the Jet scoop i think it was i seen it last night on airram.com so would pretty much make the scoop usless if i had dual filters

those would be a lot more useful if you have a ram air hood to match but i think someone as told you that before. i think my setup is probably the best because the filter goes as far away from the engine as possible for cooler air and connects straight to the TB. also it doesnt make any 90 deg angles which restrict the air flow

Yes it does cuz my truck has a 3.7 L and i am planning on getting a diff hood eventually (finishing my sound system is more important...........oh yeah a diapers for my baby boy too ) btw got my exhaust system done on Saturday 40 Series Flowmaster with a side exit in front of the Pass side rear tire with a Magnaflow Dual oval tip sounds sweet btw pics will be up soon

i regret my decision, dont get me wrong i love my truck and everything about it (cosmetic wise) but its to slow, i was thinking about money when i bought it, mileage, price of the truck, etc etc
but now that money is being a little more friendly im thinking about trading it off to the srt-10, theyve got a nice one at my local dealership 30k miles $29,900

Well, I just picked up a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 ST pickup yesterday. It doesn't have a lot of frills, but I figure I got it at a good price. $10,000 out the door and it only has 24,000 miles on it. It has the 6 speed as well. I am not a fast driver and don't need to pull anything. It will do everything I ever need it to do.

im on the same page as a lot of you here. i was in the market for a new truck when i wrecked my '92 tacoma. i was looking at the new tacoma's and they wanted 20,000 for a 4cyl no way. found a sweet deal for now my '07 3.7L manual dakota 14,999. brand new when i got it only 20 miles. the v6 is the perfect for me. i don't tow anything, and it has enough get up and go for getting to the beach quickly.

Got a sweet deal plus I'm not in a hurry like I was in my younger days - v6 is just fine unless you are in a big hurry, love my truck
