Default Suggestions on Cold Air intake

Hey guys im lookin for a Cold Air intake for my Hemi. Wondering what you think about this setup? seems like a good deal. Do you guys use the power spacers or whatever they call em?

you can make one for a lot cheaper, and i think that "power spacer" is a throttle body spacer which means it is worthless

Hey, You can get a knock off cold air intake on ebay for 60. That's what I did. Comes with all the pipes and things. It doesn't have a shield but for 60$ compaired to 300 for a full kits its fine. I have had mine for a couple of months and its fine. Makes your hemi sound like a breast. lol

intake looks good. i had a tb spacer on my truck when i bought it. drove me crazy( dont tell the guy who bought it.) but it whistled all the time and i had a few people tell me it sounded like i had a belt going bad. there is no performance to be gained on the hemis. i could even hear it over my AT3030 no cats dumped.
