Default K+N Drop In

Hi all I have bought/Imported my 1500 ST loaded 5.7 Hemi but I don't posses it yet!

I have bought a "K+N drop in", what BHP, MPG and sound improvements am I likely to experience.

Also I bought the cheapest Truxedo tonneau going delivered to here in Germany for $350 but to my surprise the UPS man wanted an
extra 109 Euro

I had a K&N drop in before my CAI. I recall a very slight boost in midrange performance from it. I did not notice any effect on mileage though.

I have a drop in K&N, and didn't notice any change in sound or HP. I did initially have a loss of fuel eco by around 1-2mpg on average according to the EVIC eco display. It has gotten better since, but has never returned to where it was pre-K&N.

All it does is noise,dosen't filter as well as a quality stock filter.Won't go anyfaster or any better fuel mpg as the new Rams have a good flowing intake to start with.Save your money.
