There is nothing wrong with the mopar. Some people just dont have anything nice to say. I think you could get a better deal if you look around. And yes the Volant is nice but I myself would stay mopar for warranty reasons.

 

They would have to prove that the intake caused the fault. I can't imagine what more air could harm. Especially since they have their own CAI out.

 

I agree with you that they do have to prove that the part caused the failure,however, do you really want to mess around with that and go through the hassle? It depends on what kind of warranty you have really. I purchased the Lifetime Wrap Bumper-to-Bumper so as far as performance parts go, I'm definitely going to go with the MOPAR CAI and stick with MOPAR for any performance upgrades so my warranty will never be an issue. The MOPAR CAI looks good and unless you are entering your ride in competitions, it really won't matter as far as looks go and since when did a CAI win anyone a trophy? To each his/her own but the MOPAR is the way to go if you don't want to ever worry about a warranty issue. I'm sure Volant and some of the others are good products but peace of mind has a value too.

i got mine for free... na ana na anana anna na na na na lol

but in all honesty... i cant tell that much a difference between the Mopar CAI and the XDI i had on before it.

Had i bought this to replace my stock filter i would be happy. but if i bought it thinking it would be better than my XDI.. i would be pissed i blew $400+

 

I was checking out various mods to the engine and found a 90 mm throtle body from arrington and the web site states:

"**Tuning suggested/required. The throttle body should be calibrated to your vehicle by your local dealer. This unit flows 178 CFM over stock. A lean Air/Fuel ratio can cause catastrophic engine damage! because of the increase in air flow."

So doe an increase in air flow (CAI) increase enough to cause a lean condition and require a dealer tune??

Never thought about it till after the read at arrington.

 

No it wont. The factory ECM will adjust for the new amount of air coming in from a air intake. It has a amount it can adjust but if its more than it can you are in trouble. Within a tank of gas your ECM will have compensated for the amount of new air coming in and made the new air intake system useless. It will work at first but after your ECM adjust for it your back to stock settings, at least this is what I was told by the SRT mechanic at my dealership. Now if you add fuel the air intake will work. From what I understand, the more fuel and air added will keep the ECM within its settings of the air/fuel mixture. The SRT mechanic said if I dont believe him to dyno my truck stock and then with a new air intake and then dyno it again after 500 miles as he claims it will be back to the stock dyno# with the new air intake on the truck.

 

sking. thats pretty believable honestly...

 

So in the long run, other than looking cool, a CAI won't really do anything after every thing adjusts.

right or wrong

 

i don't know if I believe that... I noticed increases in past vehicles by just putting in a K&N filter.

 

i'm not sure if that's true either, i put a throttle body spacer on my 09 hemi sport and mpg went up 1.5 to 16 in the city during the summer, and it never fluctuated back down even after 5 tanks or more.
