Hey all - I just got my '01 dakota and i need to start working on it. I think i want to start with air intake. I assume i'll shop for a cold air system, any suggestions? should i get a certain brand, or maybe start somewhere else?

 

Check out intenseperformance.com.

 

360degreez.com or streetandperformance.com both have good systems

 

If you want to stay with the Factory name "MOPAR", goto www.mopar.com and they have lots of MOPAR mods for Dodge! Including Cold Air intakes, Intake Manifolds, and exhaust upgrades..

 

Wow... why would you pay $200+ for such a mod???

to get noticable and dyno proven hp and torque gains....

 

This forum is full of... you would actually pay $200+ for something that cost $150 or less to produce... when the website link I gave you shows you how to make it yourself?

No wonder you people... have low visit numbers...

I mean telling someone to buy a $200+ intake that cost $150 to build is like saying, "If you want to run a 12 second quarter, go buy a 996 Turbo and leave us alone."

 

actually,...if you want to "engineer" something out of a material that is not meant to be under the hood, and will 'possibly' void your warranty,and can cause other damage due to IAT sensor relocation....then go ahead. Since you can vouch for no gains other than ambient noise, wtf is the point??!?! the fact that 'someone' would put forth the effort to place a piece of 4" PVC tube under thier hood for nothing but a little noise is more assanine as your last train of thought. In order to gain some horsepower, things like intake and exhaust are viable options. especially when they do not adversely affect the motor, defeating the entire purpose...

do you have any clue how much it costs to build a car? its no where near the 20 some thousand people pay....what is that like, go get a horse and leave us alone?!? i hope you dont need rational thought on a daily basis, because if people sold everything they made at cost....funny thing...no one would make money..so why make it?..Craaaaaaaaaaaazzzzy idea....
