Yes, Looks very nice detail goes a long way.

When i am speaking above covers I mean something that would cover in front of the TB pretty much on top of motor where the Manifold is and all the plug wires run.

There are covers for the LX 5.7

you might have to mod it to fit.

I changed out my 02-05 coils for 06+ coils as those do not have plug wires. Between this and shaving your intake, it can clean it up quite a bit.

06 and up coils are a direct bolt on?

They are a direct bolt on but the coils electrical plugs are different so you have to cut off the original ones and wire in the newer style.

Ok, I got the S&B with the Oiled filter, I did not get the Optional Snorkel at this time is the snorkel worth it? Hard to put in at a later date?

Hope I made the right choice, I ll try and install it this weekend.

Do yourself a favor and browse craigslist it never hurts!, I got a new K&N Plastic CAI Kit & Filter for a Hemi Ram for $20!!! it was missing the cold air isolation box for the filter but for $20 who cares I got the most important & expensive parts the tube & filter!, My buddy had put the chrome K&N kit on my truck before I bought it so I really didn't need it and I didn't want to have the plastic one on because I figure what I lose in heat exchange on the metal K&N CAI I gain back like another 40hp in chrome & intimidation when I pop the hood to show the bitches!. Chrome/Metal CAI is a 8hp gain and the plastic they say is 11hp, I'd say with how bad *** the chrome is the difference is easily made up!.

I figured for $20 it was a no brainer buy and so I gifted it to my brother to mod up for his 04 Hemi Durango.

Heck I even bought my 3815 Superchips tuner for $150 off craigslist, one of the best $150 I've ever spent in my life! I've turned hardcore chevy & ford girls around after letting them drive my truck, the superchips tuner and my exhaust blowing itself off the truck is responsible for at least 4 girls being added to my lifetime number lol.


Right now in my local Craigslist theres a dude selling a chrome K&N Intake & Filter kit for $80 with everything you need to install it!.

lol I've converted a few chevy & ford girls. Once they drive a superchip tuned Hemi with loud exhaust, K&N Intake in a single cab truck, they have no choice but to admit defeat!


My brothers ex gf was a hardcore chevy girl and I had her drive my truck home from the bar because I drank a little too much and I wanted to be responsible and not drive, as she left the parking lot she roasted the tires down the block, that woman barely ever smiled, but she did that night!


The chrome K&N intake is just to put fear in the import guys and give me something to polish when I detail my truck lol.
