Default Cold Air Intake.....YES.....NO

What will a Cold Air Intake do for my 2008 Hemi?

It will give you a little performance boost (nothing huge) and a louder intake if the CAI you go with removes the hemi hat. The CAI is a good mod and works well in conjunction with other bolts ons you will probably add later down the road.

on a motercycle if you change air or pipes you need to rejet.

On a truck...if you add more air do you have to chande the computer or does it detect the change and adjust?

no you dont have to re-tune, but it would be a good idea to get the air out as fast as you are getting it in... so a good exhaust would be something you would have to get more sooner than later. but if you just throw on a CAI you wont throw any checks.

You should be able to feel the difference but it is not a huge difference.

maybe 5hp tops... but with a full exhaust too you'd get 10-15hp.
