Trucks magazine article on hemi intake
I was glancing through the TRUCKS mag the other day and they had a an article on the True Flow Intake system for the hemi. Basically they had a dyno proven 19 hp and 37 ft-lbs increase on a stock truck. Might be some useful knowledge for those who might be considering this intake.
Make your own with PVC. 9" conical K&N from autocom.com part # re0870 about $40 to your door. I also ordered a dry prefilter from outerwearsracing.com for insurance. And about $20 bucks of PVC and you are ready to go. Or Pay 120 for the one on ebay that some guys out west are making. You will need 2 3" 90 degree bends, a rubber 4" to 3" coupler, and about 2' of 3" pipe. You will need to be creative for the breather. I used a 90 degree 1" elbow with a male and female ends, a small piece of 1" pipe and a threaded coupler. Sand, clean, and paint black and you have a 300 dollar intake for less than a third.
Do NOT put PVC under your hood. PVC stands for poly vinyl chloride. When heated it can release toxic fumes.
On a side note, solid pipe with 90 degree bends isn't the way to go. Those bends create a lot of turbulence.

Thanks for the picture. The kit is the same thing as an Airraid MIT and a drop in K&N filter. Did they do anything with intake side of the stock box? What year Hemi was it?

From my understanding nothing was done to the stock box. All 2003- 2005 1500 & 2500 with the hemi, Didn't see anything mentioned about the 3500. Did a little more searching and found a dyno chart (1500 hemi)on the true flow site.

minimal if any, with the amount of air the hemi sucks in.
