yep, if you are handy at all I'd suggest you make your own CAI it'll flow just as much CFM as any you'd buy. Name brand ones are $300, ebay ones are around $100 and are hit and miss as far as falling apart on you or the filter quality.
I made this one a few weeks ago for a member. $9 in PVC, $4 in paint, $10 in boot and clamps and $35 for a very high quality K&N filter.

yep good job fellas' cept the part about flowmasters, I still have no issues with this product and I for one do not appreciate the way fm is being portrayed in these posts!
ps. I'm gonna wait the customary 3 yrs and change my tune ...probably. lol

yup like hammer said , hear is mine ...getting rid of the restrictive hemi hat is the key , the other is to have the straighest line to the TB . i used 3"pvc and kept the stock air box dropped in a k&n . i kept the stock box because i drive threw some crap while hunting and didnt want water ect in the filter then in the engine .

It's actually the "HEMI" hat over the TB that you wanna get rid of. It's a resonator so you can't hear the damn EGR valve fluttering open and closed. It is restrictive as hell...

Did they get rid of the PCV valve on the HEMI also?? I took off my TB to clean it yesterday and everywhere I've read says the PCV valve is supposed to be right next to it. Mine has nothing, only 2 plugs.

The reason Flowmasters are called Blowmasters or why people usually do not recommend Flowmaster is because of the way they are designed. They are for sound, not performance. I originally had the Flowmaster 40 series and switched to Magnaflow 40 series for 2 reasons, they tend to rust very easily (mine was completed rusted out) and I was tired of the drone.
In this chart from one of Hammer's threads it compares Flowmaster's "flow" to other mufflers (except for Magnaflow).

Hope this clears up a few things.
To the OP and anybody else thats curious...
