You're only likely to see a couple hp difference between intakes for the v6.

Wade I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like the S&B, but getting gas mileage from an air intake in my experience is rare. Now the power issue is strange, keep in mind that CAI's usually deliver they're claimed gains in the higher rpm's so if you're not revving up there then there isn't any real gain. I'd contact S&B about it and see if you can return it and just put an AEM dryflow in the stock box and fab up some pvc to eliminate the resonator and accordion tubing. Cheap and easy, that way you don't have much to lose.

 

Hey guys so after reading i think im going to go with the Superchips 3865 flashpaq but now im just stuck on what would be the best CAI to go with it anyone got any ideas? i was thinking about going with a "2002-2007 Ram 1500 4.7 Volant Cold Air Intake" but honestly i cant even tell whats better with all these brands trying to compete with each other...other than that i had some thoughts about K&N but i dont know i feel like i cant trust the markets these days so id rather go with personal prefferances bc they dont have to make money by recommending the best CAI with the SC product. Any takers?

FYI i got a 2005 4.7L with 2chamber dual exhaust flowmasters

ANY HELP AT ALL will be GREATLY appreciated

 

Volant intakes are nice and have one of the best fit and finish of all the intakes, so if you're gonna spend a lot of time looking at your intake they're the best. You won't see any real power difference between any of the intakes (unless they are ram air), so you might as well just get this cheap one http://cpwstore.carpartswholesale.co...S-V218205.html and buy an AEM dryflow for it.

 

Yea I figured I wasn't going to get that much performance out of it, was maybe hoping for a little more MPG. Right now the only thing I have is a K&N stock filter, next week I'm going to do the exhaust up with a flowmaster 50 series. You're right, one can easily dump their whole paycheck into something when they just should have bought a bigger engine.

 

I don't care what kind of engine you have, this site will make you want to do more.

 

i bought an ebay intake and ive had it for several months and no problems with it

 

if you put a shorty intake on your throttle body...you will actually get noticable lowend torque gains. don't believe me, ask twink. he's the one that told me. use a small section of whatever intakes you guys have, like literally 5 or six inches, then put the cone filter at the end of that. my next project it to put a y-intake pipe directly to throttle body with a cone attached to each leg of the y. screw the "cold air stuff". i've gone through like three...and our truck needs air faster, not colder air to get noticable gains.

 

Just got the Airaid, not bad, I do actually notice a difference. I didn't replace the resonator because I did research and there's really no point to take it off on a V6.

 

so what would be a good one for a 07 V6? i think the only difference is a MAF sensor right after the throttle body.

 

They're all about the same, just get the one I posted a link to earlier or build your own. I recommend you get an AEM dryflow filter either way you go.
