Hey, I have brought almost the same knock off intake from ebay but mine was for the hemi but really no difference they both the same. I would deff get it. Its so cheap compaired to the k and n one for 300. Of course it doesn't come with the heat shield but thats fine. I have had mine on my 07 for 3 months and nothing wrong. spend the cheap money and buy one. A really good deal. I love mine.

I think you're better off buying one of the mopar knockoff's for like $80. They are on ebay under names like bomz/bombz and also on sites like carpartswarehouse and autopartswholesale under names like kool vue/velocity. They're the same intake tube and heat shield as the mopar one minus the mopar sticker.

I would at-least get the one that removes the restrictive hemi hat. That way your motor can actually breath.

Those two will break eventually, my truck had one that the dude put in before I got it. I had to replace it with a new one anyway...mucho better to spend the money and get quality than quantity

I have had one that removes the whole thing for 3.5 years now. Looks and holds up just as good as day one.

if you are gonna get one, like OE said get one that removes the "hat". Atleast stay away from the first one that says its for a hemi yet the picture has it on a 4.7
