Removed intake silencer [5.7]

Well I replaced my hood struts this weekend and decided to pull the air intake silencer while I had the garage to myself. I didn't take pictures because others have posted relevant pictures in other threads... I just didn't see many threads where Hemi folks had taken their silencer off.

The process was the same as the SE and SXT models. I pulled the front belly pan(7mm) minus a bolt or two on the passenger side, and also took out the first 10mm bolt on the driver side connecting the front and back belly pan. I also found it helpful to remove the bottom 2 plastic rivets from the driver fender skirt. The 10mm bolt holding the silencer up was a PITA to reach, I had (3) 2 inch socket extensions and could barely reach it. Once that was out I had to jack up the car a little but the big silencer came right out.

The result is a better sounding motor, IMO. I think someone else said it sounds less like a vacuum and more like a big motor and I'll stick with that. I haven't felt any noticeable performance change, but that's not what I was looking for. When I hit 3500 RPM it definitely sounds meaner than it did before. Assuming you have the common tools, this is free and I definitely recommend doing it.

I used to live on a dirt road too. Back when I had my Ranger, I removed and trashed the driver side plastic fender wheel when I installed my 4/5 drop. BIG MISTAKE, it got to the point where I could never get the engine bay as clean as I wanted.
