I just purchased a 2003 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi truck. Looking to do some mods. I saw a dual intake on ebay and was wonderting what you guys thought. Here is the site.

I wouldn't waste your money. Your engine is only going to draw in so much air and a single intake will provide all the air it will need. that and the position of the filter which will draw in hot air form the engine compartment.

 

Thanks for the reply. So would you just recommend a cold air single intake?

 

that wher ei would put the money. just a decent quality intake with a heat shield with something like a k&N or s&b filter.

 

I seriously doubt performance gains from so called cold air intakes. Save your money.

This is from past experience. They just make more noise. Maybe provide some psychological horsepower.

 

Hemi's dont respond to little bolt on mods like that, just there for the noise. On 4.7's they have a noticeable difference though. If you like the way they sound then go for it. I love gettin to 3000rpm and hearin it howl. But if ur doin it for performance than yes, save your money for chips or somethin else.

 

i think the dual intake thing is a joke, all it seems to be is just a way to make your truck look cool under the hood, but it would actually prolly be worse then the stock intake, sittin right there on top of the manifold and collecting all that heat, thats crazy. save yourself the money and buy a tru c.a.i. or a ram air kit, would be pretty sweet too

 

WOW. What a familiar scene. I also looked at those intakes, but once I got to really looking at the customer reviews, many were complaining that the intake tubes were smaller than the stock intake, that the filters were cheap, and melted/deteriorated. A lot of those people also said that the truck was slowed down. After being dissapointed by something that did, admittedly, look bad ***, I went to RPM outlet and purchased the tuner kit with the K&N cold air intake, throttle body spacer, and superchips programmer.
