I used 3" PVC(that is the diameter of the TB) It dosent take much at all, I got 1-24" PVC and 3-elbows from hardware store.

I agree the vararam looks sweet but didn't suit my driving habits when I used to 4x4.
The Volant is goin to be sittin on the shelf soon anyways when I order up my twin turbo kit.
Those of you looking for a diy go into the faqs for the 3rd gen and theres a write up in there

materials list for CAI
I used:
1- 24" piece of 3" PVC (cut into a few sizes)
3- 45 degree PVC elbows
1- PVC cement
1- 1" to 3/4 adapter for a hose (I just found this part by mistake but it worked better than what I had imagined)
1- air temp sensor(you can get the one out of the HEMI hat but I wanted to buy one so I can return my stock air box if need be)
1- 3 1/2" high flow cotton fiber air filter (NOTE:3" PVC is actually 3 1/2" on the out side, 3" inside.
1- 3" coupling for PVC to TB.
*take my advice take your time when cutting your PVC and cut it straight*

i spent the money and put a volant on my 03 ram, which is bored .030 over and stroked, camed and to much others to list i have around 10k in the motor and tranny and it puts out 470hp. but the volant came with a upgraded mass air flow sensor and be sure not to put that K&N oil on your filter cause it will suck into the intake tube and mess up the mass air flow sensor and cause a code on the computer. that is what happened to my future father in laws 05 ram when he went cheap and tried to compete with my ram rod truck. DO YOUR HOME WORK.
