Black Hemi intake box
This may have been answered before, but the black box that connects to the throttle body on the 06's where it says "HEMI 5.7"
Is that restrictive? Would it be better to run a CAI into the box or remove it? It seems like it has chambersbuilt into it on both sides? |

Not calling you out at all, but why is the Hemi Hat restrictive. Why was it designed like it is from the factory? It seems like all those passages should do something? It is all just for show huh? Better just attaching 3" pvc right to the TB for an intake then? Thanks for the help. I have a K+N Drop in right now and I get great MPG I am affraid if I change the intake it might make it worse? any cases of that, or am I talking out my butt?

Manufactures never look out for your best interest. There is always room for improvement. Look at the crappy tires that come on the truck that SOME of is are lucky to get 40k out of. I know at my 40k mark they were bald. So I understand they design and do things for a reason but it isnt always in the name or the customer or MPGs |

Sweet, Thanks for the help. I am off to Home Depot tomorrow, I know I have seen a few on here but any pics of home-made CAI's would be helpful. Thanks again....

I talked to cai dealer befor i bought and he said from experience that removing the hat loses torque, so i didn't.
