Performance Intakes

[he e nalu]

I was thinking about installing a K&N intake [or Mopar] on my R/T as a do-it-yourself project. The SUV I traded in for my Mag had one installed when I purchased it so ...... I have no reference as to how hard or easy the installation process is. Any helpful hints or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I GOT THE AIRRAID AND IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 MIN.

Sounds difficult ....... Ha! I downloaded the instructions to see what was involved. Looks like even a semi-knucklehead like me should be able to do it. [double Ha!] Why the Airraid instead of the K&N? Also, does the intake create any increase in engine noise? Thanks for your time.

The intake will make a good noise when you step on it. All of the intakes I've seen are pretty easy to install. I'm runnin the K&N Typhoon, mainly for looks because of the polished tube.

HAD A AIRRAID BEFORE LIKED IT PLUS EVERYONE GETS K&N WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERANT. YOU GET A LITTLE NOISE AT HIGH RPM BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD. IM HAPPY WITH IT!!

Thanks for the info guys. SoCalRT, your intake looks awesome. Good choice. I'm thinking of going with the 63 series intake with the plastic tube. [not street legal in CA] It may not look as good as the metal tube but .... the increase is stated to be a 21hp gain as opposed to 12hp with a little less noise than the metal tube. [I'm trying to keep it on the down low until I romp it. Ha!] Thanks again.

The 63 series works great! You will feel the difference!! It takes a little longer to install and the plastic tube looks better with the plastic motor cover. It sounds good when you stomp on it too!

go with the 63 , it s the one I have and it sounds and performs great, worth every penny, dont forget the Jet chip!!!!

O.K. peeps ...... I finally got off me duff and ordered the 63 series intake. Thanks for your helpful comments and tips on the subject. If your looking for a good deal on this part, exotictruck-auto on Ebay had the intake for 202.83 delivered to your door. That included shipping. I'm excited to feel and hear the difference in power and sound on the Mag. While I was at it ..... I went ahead and ordered the Mopar hood struts that used to come standard on the 05s. No sense in doing cool things to your engine if you have to use that funky folding rod to hold the hood open. Not a good look. The "chip thing" is the next mod on the list. I'm still looking for "semi-decent" milage with the MDS system. How does the chip affect the MPGs? The Jet stage 1 is the chip I am considering. Any insights on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
