without changing the hood, it is difficult to really have "ram air". there is so much crap in the engine bay around the intake area, a hood is your best bet. as for an intake, i assume that you mean a cold air intake tube, not an intake manifold, right?

Where can you get a decent intake for an '01 3.0 R/T?

ebay..make sure that it is full metal composition, including the MAFS adapter...and it will come with a cheap paper filter, then you can buy a K%N filter, just like i did, and save yourself 100-150 bucks over the ridiculously priced AEM or K&N units...of course, there isnt one on there right now..but keep an eye out for them..they seem to go in waves..at times, there are a ton of them

the composite intakes are actually said to be better. They absorb less heat. And K&N and AEM filters are actually not supposed to be used on cars with Mass air. And paper filters filter better but flow less. Paper filters have there purpose.

not that you can just order...i know headers, but not maifolds..

and the whole issue with K&N filters and MAFS is a myth.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of K&N but they do have a disclaimer on there packages I believe. Could you give me any info on aftermarket headers? I love my car but I'm having such a hard time finding anything for it.
