actually putting together my own like the one ewing 111 on here made. with 3 inch pvc conduit the rubber connector that will connect it to the throttle body, and will probably pick up a Spectre cone filter from one of the auto stores. I think that's pretty much all I need unless I need the little cone filter too. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...inor-mods.html

Yes you need the tiny cone filter for that one piece of hose. I think it's a vacuum line.

yeah you need it, can't remember the exact name, but its some kind of universal filter (crankcase maybe?) and fits into that hose perfectly. Also, I would consider k&n over spectre, I know hammer did some tests on the spectre filter and is was pretty bad, just letting all kinds of dust through. Something to consider.

theres a range, but its around 50 bucks. I figured I saved so much building the cai myself that i could spend a bit more on the part that is important anyway.
