The ones that are made specifically for our truck usually have better warranties and a better build quality, not to mention they're not some cheap CAI that's a bunch of parts thrown together. If you're only willing to spend $30.00 or so then you're better off building one on your own.
:wavey: Hey there. I just ordered a K&N C.A.I filter only for $65.00 canadian, Iam going to build my own tube system from ABS piping.So im talking pipe and a couple elbows approx 15 to 25 bucks ..say. So i got a good quaulity filter and my own piping system done for what $100. This to me sounds great. I know the pipe aint going to be pretty but as long as it works ..so what. Sand it paint it wont be that bad. This is..........just a suggestion and a thought.:smileup:
i was thinking of buying the cheap ebay kit just to use the pipe. cuz the pic is of it installed in a ram, so i know it fits. then get a good filter to put on it
i would paint the pipe though. not a fan of chrome...
If you look at the 09, it has a snorkle that pulls air from the front fender. This would be cooler air, so with that said, would a KN filter (or similar) not provide the same flow really?
I know that there are alot of claims of big gains with just a CAI. But I have yet to see one dyno graph that proves any.
Does anyone have some data to show good bad or ugly?
Build your own, it is the most cost effective way to go. It is not difficult at all! I have built many CAI's and FWI's for my self and other's. It is the only way to travel...
