I have a k&n 63 series in my 13 big horn and sounds great. Can't compare to others

 

The Benefit of a CAI on the newer model Rams is the sound it will give you, thats about it, oh and depending on the filter you buy with it can last the life of the truck.

 

Benefits? Looks and maybe sound. Aftermarket cai don't give the hp numbers most expect.
Save some cash and do a snorkel mod and get a dry filter.

 

Sound an worse gas mileage. Before i got my k&n cai i jus had their drop in filter an actually did see a 1-2mpg increase when i drove smart. Now my problem is loving the sound of cai mixed with having a tuner and not keeping my foot off the gas.. But if you are having to sale the idea to someone so you can get it say you will get better gas mileage worked for me with both tuner an cai.. Now to use that for a new exhaust..

 

I actually found worse performance by adding a series 63 cai to my canned tunes. It would make all kinds of sounds at WOT, but didn't seem to really go faster. Had Hemifever do a custom tune & now its worlds different

 

The stock intake is a TRUE cold-air-intake. So just get a good drop in filter and you should be good. I say this but i'm running the k&n 63 and its mostly for looks/sound

 

This is all good advice. Its a waste of money unless you want a little more sound!!

 

Totally agree with everyone here. You NEED a custom CAI!

Here is what you get...
1 - You get to spend lots of money on truck stuff... feed your addiction
2 - You get a really cool sounding truck
3 - You will be unable to keep your foot off the floor on the accelerator side
4 - you will get to buy more gas and more often
5 - you will get to post about it here and everyone will congratulate you!

 

I'm living #4 Lol

 

I went the MOPAR route. $350 from dealership. Took about 2 hrs to put in. Pain in the arse!!! Have the dealer put in my opinion. Sounds wicked. Have lead foot in my truck now. Love speeding up. Only pro I c is maybe +1-2 MPG city. But my beauty gets up and goes real quick. Ill post a pick of install after I get off from work.

 

chris b you stated you have a63 series k&n c.a.i. on your ram do you still get the m.d.s. growl at low speeds or the noise is going i was told the c.a.i will help eliminate the growling noise your response will be very useful

 

The noise from MDS is from the exhaust and I had my MDS turned off through my custom tune.

 

$350 for cai? The dealership I went to wants $481 . Wonder why such a big price difference. You got the mopar one right?

 

chris b you stated the noise from and growling comes from the m.d.s. turning off the m.d.s. the only way to get rid of the noise or there is another way? please reply

 

I don't know if we are talking about the same noise but the only noise my truck ever made that I didn't like (most on here will agree) was after installing an aftermarket muffler the MDS makes a drone. If you hear this noise put your truck in 6th gear or use your tow-h and it goes away. Then yes that's the MDS. You can just drive with your truck in 6th gear or get a tuner and turn it off.

 

chris b thanks for the reply i dont have an after mkt. muffler even if i put it in 6 or tow mode the drone noise is present i dont want to spend the money for a tuner so i have to leave with the noise if i can only convince the dealer to turn the m.d. s. off maybe is the big question tanks again for your reply

 

Now moncho, you do know you can disable your MDS right as you put it in drive right? Just simply hold the center console shifter to the left for a couple of seconds and you will see your EVIC display go to 1 instead of D. If you have the column shifter, you just hold down the downshift/negative button until your EVIC reads 1 and then bump up to whatever gear you wish to not go above. Around town, I just leave it in 4th if my speeds don't go above 45mph. At 50, I'll bump up to 5th and over 65, I'll put her in 6th. The whole time, no MDS kicking in.

 

thanks gantman i will try your mode and hope it will work
