Default CAIs and MPG

I,m the pround owner of a 2004 1500 ram hemi ive owned them all at on point or another and have found a home once again with dodge and plan to stay! as a matter of fact im currently trading my wifes ford expo for the 300 . my question is i want to improve hp and mpg on my truck ive herd some trucks with cais and i like the throat sound but im not certain as too what type of cai i should be looking at. Id like to have the truck sound louder and mean but not too loud. As im self employed as a General Contractor and dont want to startle my cutomers from the bed when i pull up in the morning Ive looked at K&N in Addition to Air Aid are ther others out ther that you may suggest or any modification that will work with my stock OEM i really hate to lose my Hemi Intake cover.

thanks for any Ideas looking forward to future conversation

I've built my own 3" and 4" systems.

If I was to buy a new pre-fabbed system I would invest money in the AIR RAM system.
It's a fully insulated 4" system with a HUGE k&N filter.

I'm curious about the weight of that intake. It looks frickin heavy. Too, I inquired about the materials used to construct the system and never heard more about it. The scoop they have is by far the best piece they offer though.
