Default Got the new Mopar cold air intake installed

i only had time to drive it to work after installation so i haven't had a chance to compare gas mileage to my XDI ...power seems good... got to wait until the computer adjusts to get a real feel for it.

it looks pretty good... no 90 degree bends like the XDI.. it does wrap around the fender opening to pull in air... has a bolt securing it to the firewall and also a few securing it by the radiator...

overall I'm pretty happy with it... the frikin tube is a lot bigger than the stock one and xdi...

here is ya some pics

Do you have the model # for that air-intake. Looks pretty cool and would be interested to see if it helps on gas mileage.

That looks GREAT! I went to the Dealer and they had NO part listing for the 09's. I've tried a few dealers now and they all give me different part #'s, same thing with the performance cat back exhaust. They just don't seem to have a clue, one of them gave me a Durango part # LOL
Could you post the part # of yours please

Looks good! Really like the looks of it under there. It definately has a factory look to it. Now I need to figure out if I want to wait for the S&B intake or get the mopar one. Is it an oiled element or a dry element.

Wow, nice Doc. I was really wanting an Airaid, but the looks of the Mopar one might have swung me over.

Any details on where you got it and the price?

I guess this shows my ignorance, but how does the outside air get to it? It looks like the box has it sealed up next to the passenger fender.
