What Intake does everyone have?

[DirtyR/T]

Let's see what the most common intake is.

Post your Pros and Cons of your Air Intakes to. This way it may help out some of the guys that can't decide which one they want.

[rockadaous]

intense performance w/9" big mouth filter. all pro's. thing is the shiznet

[danpfay99]

360 kool shot, very happy :toast:

[SSRage]

Happy with my 360.

[rick75]

For price and performance, tough to be the IP Stage II. Love mine so far, couldn't believe the difference.

[mopar rt]

360

Good price and easy to install. It is performing as advertised.

[kaui56]

to be honest i dont know what i got. its not any of the big name brands. i think its actually for a different car, but it's nice and im going to make a new carbon fiber box to eliminate the hot air real soon.

[twistedrt01]

FIPK here. It dropped mt et .2 and I gained 2 mph and the end of the 1/4 :rolleyes:

[snubzinttown]

Well I got my 360 intake Friday and tried to install it today but I had to take it back off...The hose that goes into the air lid from the valve cover doesnt reach, anyone else have this problem?

[tiggerweed]

I have a FIPK kit and I love it. It works great!! I could tell a difference as soon as I installed it

[hayn_dakota]

damm i neva even heard of all these types of intakes till now..damm when i was lookin all they had was the airraid...well that's what i got and i guess i'm happy...i think i need the stage 2 chip now...

[dvsone]

360 OWNS!!

Not a common problem but can happen with any place. Just go to a loacl auto store and get the hose from there it should be like 1-2 $ . If u want, u can send it back to joe and he'll get a longer one to you. Joes #1 thing is customer satisfaction!!

[AAR Kota]

before i had my "home brew" i had a mopar intake witch is exactly like the K&n fipk. i had that on my truck and it cracked, i tried to repair it, but it didnt work. so i built one out of 4" and 5 1/2" aluminum tubing,welded them together to fit where the fipk went, blew some paint on and thats it. very simple, but it works.

Oh I already took care of it, got a 5/8" hose from my Murrays Autoparts around here, they didnt even charge me for one foot of tube so it was nothing. It wouldnt have been anything if I had to pay 1-2 bucks either, I was just curious though..Thanks for the info anyway, appreciate it...I am very satisfied with the intake, glad to know Joe is willing to do what it takes to satisfy us...Take care!

[Five9Dak]

can I vote twice for the Fipk? I have one on my 5.9 Grand Cherokee and one on my Dak r/t. I love them best quality IMO

They install very easily, are a high quality plastic- Not metal so they dont heat up the air charge, And have sealed baffle to isolate the filter element form the engine air.

[jdakota92]

K&N here. I love the whoosh sound that comes out of the engine every time it's started.

[1reddurango]

Just finished up my "ABS" performance intake hehe... it works great. Have noticed a nice difference in my bottom end torque and mid range power. The roar at WOT is cool too!! $5 3"-3" rubber coupler, $8.50 5'x3" ABS pipe(only used 1 foot) $3x2 3'ODx3"ID 90 degree elbows $2 3" toilet bowl flange(bolted the cone filter to this) $10 ABS cleaner and cement $25 AutoZone cone filter and $10 for the breater filter. Oh and $.98 for silver paint. took all of an hour to remove the stock airbox and build and install the intake. Did the homebrew cause Im planning on a shaker hood later.

[Ted 00 R/T]

Well I got my 360 intake Friday and tried to install it today but I had to take it back off...The hose that goes into the air lid from the valve cover doesnt reach, anyone else have this problem?

I got my 360 the other day. Put it in yesterday. My hose did not fit but I cut it and stuck a hard plastic pipe in to make it longer. I had a real hard time with the heard shield fitting due to interference with the AC condenser. I had to make some cuts in it to fit around it. Had trouble with the filter fit due to the cruse control cables. I got it all in it seems to be working but I don’t really notice much difference yet. All and All I wish I would have sent it back. :(

[DANSKOTA]

Ted...

I have to say, installing my 360inakez was less than perfect, but for $140 I was willing to bend a little metal. The AC line was rubbing a bit, but a tug and a push, plus some foam tape, everything cleared just fine. The Cruise plunger was a bit in the way, but again, the bracket is just steel, and it bends with little effort. You could go with the drop in filter, but then no growl and too stock looking. Check mine out at http://home.nycap.rr.com/danskota/index.html

Go to the accessories page. Some of the links are broken...trying to fit too much on my free 10meg homepage.

FYI the rubber tube from the PCV system fit up just fine on my '02 4.7, but they do tell you on the web site that you may have a different setup. Just plumb your way to the 360, or put a breather on the factory hose, and plug up the 360 hole.

Last note...

Love the sound and the power gain. Not much extra off the line, but when she catches her wind, its crazy gain in HP! My opinion is that this engine likes to rev, and if you want to really smoke the tread off the line, you need to mod the rear gear to 4.10 or better and maybe play with the torque converter. 3.55 is fine for highway, but not a tow/track gear!

Dak on, brodahs! :mullet:

[Y2KOTA]

Custom built here K & N (http://www.y2kota.us/kn.html) $ for $ the best mod money you can spend.

[VegasOutkast]

360 and luvin it, wont ever buy another ;)

[scentralpirate]

got and installed the 360 today...not bad only glitch I had was that I had to turn the horn that was mounted forward of the stock air box about 200 degrees for the front of the filter to drop in just right. Other than that it was a sucessful install under 30 minutes (that doesn't count searching for a frigging screwdriver for 10 minutes :hammer: )

Its not quite as sexy looking as I would have thought it would be. Having a powder coated air hat to match the tube would be dead sexy, but it sure is a hell of alot sexier than the stock box.

the sucking sound you get when you hit it kinda took my wife by suprise, but she loves the throttle response though.

Haven't taken it on the highway yet to see how it does at speed, but damn in town it rocks :mullet:

[VegasOutkast]

Im about to get my second one made up for my Durango.


Its not quite as sexy looking as I would have thought it would be. Having a powder coated air hat to match the tube would be dead sexy, but it sure is a hell of alot sexier than the stock box.


I disagree, I think my 1st one is sexy:

[DirtyR/T]

Well I just picked up a K&N FIPK that was used for 1 month. But I was wanting a 360 intake like yours Vegas. I might still get the 360 and put the K&N on ebay or something.

[Nosjunke]

I ordered the ProZen intake on Ebay, and it looks sweet. It's for my 2004 Hemi durango. Despite what some people may have heard, I got my part in 3 days, and it looks great. I swear I can tell the difference, but I'm dynoing it this week and we'll see what happens.

[syn]

just working with a home brew at the moment, only had my new dak since saturday.

[greygoat94]

Technically, mine's home-brewed. I have a 94 3.9 Dak and it had a piece of plastic snapped into the hole that the hose fits into that takes the air to the filter. I popped it out and popped the hose into the slot and added a K&N filter into the stock air hat. I cna hear it suckin in LOTS more air. Does anyone else have this plastic piece blocking air?

[DAKSPORT1PA]

I have the Intense Performance with the 9in big mouth. I love it. You can reallly feel and hear the difference.

[supradakotaman]

I had the problem too with the hose not reaching on the 360, I bought extra length hose from Kragen. However, a couple days later I inspected the intake and to my dismay I noticed it doesn't seal properly between the throttle body and the new 3" airhat. That sorta put me into a small rage. Looking at it now, I think I might have just went for the K&N drop in instead. After being spoiled playing with imports where for the most part fit and finish is perfect (for good things ala hks, greddy/trust, etc), this sorta threw me off. I dunno... :huh: the power gain was noticeable in midrange though, felt like the powerband was more linear.

[00RangoRida]

i got a Live For Speed intake...it's a cheap ass 20 dollar one from ebay but it's alright :mullet:

[shwantz96]

I have an '02 Dakota Quad cab. It's got the 4.7 V8. I've put in a Jet Chip Performance Chip, K&N FIPK, and Flow Master 50 series. Without spending too much more money, can anyone tell me how to better the horsepower?

Thanks,
Shwantz96 :bow:

P.S.

What's the factory horsepower on a 4.7 V8? Anyone know?

[GOON'S D]

Throttle Body, Ignition, Wires, Rotor, Capand then there is the SuperCharger! LOL. Stock is about 235HP

[Ben]

Stock with K&N drop in works for me

[9c1 owner]

even though i don't have a dakota or a durango on mine i have an SSRI which is essentially ram air :drool:

[R/TPARATROOPER]

[cilrah]

I didn't pick one in your poll, no option for other :huh:

[T8RSalad]

Wow, looks like I'm the only one with Airaid. I've got an Airaid Intake w/Modular Intake Tube.

[SinCity R/T]

I changed the poll around to include some more options - unfortunately it appears like the poll won't allow people to change their votes if the option wasn't there before. Because they were also re-arranged it may show that you voted for a different model than you have - the numbers were shifted along with the answer so the numbers will still be accurate.

[sailsurf7713]

I'm thinking about getting the 360 97-04 Dakota/Durango Power Shot Kit (100-59PS) does anyone have it and want to comment on it. Particulary mpg gain.

[JethroStyles]

Has anyone installed a IP setup on an older Dakota? I really don't want the redneck 14x3 aircleaner on my truck. I would like to create some sort of a cold air box for it..

OR

Does anyone know where I can get a nice highflowing airhat for my truck that has 3" or 4" tube off it? I was thinking that Turbonetic's one, until I saw the price of it WTF?!?! is that thing Platinum er somthing? HELP HELP HELP

[Jason]

I wanted an Intense, but he's having problems(emailed him even). Then reading these post about the few problems with the 360.....I went with the K&N. To me, it may cost more(name brand), but I believe you get what you pay for(see the nondebate about fram filters).

[load97]

Might need to add the mopar CAI. :cool:

[BlackDak]

FIPK, got it used, bolted it in perfectly in about 20 minutes, no complications whatsoever. Sounds awesome, I love it.

[dave2003]

I've got the 360 Power Shot Intake. :mullet:

[realdeal7369]

k&N 14" round element, with the extremem lid.

[thunderchild]

I had an Intense Performance Stage II but i took it off. I don't like the filtering capabilities of the K&N and other similar filters. I found that I had finer dirt particles coming in through the filter. I am trying to keep my trucks for a long while so I put the stock box back on. However, for the sake of a more smoother air flow, I took off the intake snorkel off of the front of the air filter box. This is a 4.7 liter motor. The deep breathing sound came back as when I put my foot in it. Same airbox, better breathing however slight, without the front little snorkel. It opened up a 3" diameter opening. The same as my IP.

[Raven]

A.E.M. Bruteforce here! :banana2:

[joe cool]

I have a K& N Air Filter on my ' 96 DAKOTA 3.6 . I like it. It goes well with the FLOWMASTER 40 SERIES MUFFLER. (single muffler) Working up to get the money for the other 40 series to make Duals

The FLOWMASTER got a sound that I like. Nice little "" GROWL" at 2400 RPM's shifting gears . SWEET!!

[joe cool]

k&N 14" round element, with the extremem lid.

If you don't mind me asking... What year is your DAKOTA ? The reason that I am asking is that I have a '96 Dakota, and the engine you have looks the same as mine. Mine is a 3.9 and they look about the same and I run stock air filter case with a K&N Air filter in it Thanks!

[dakolorado]

Since only 3 people posted pics :redx: I will post mine. It is an ebay set-up but could easily be done with the right inake pipes from various auto stores. I purchased this for 80 bucks shipped and it included a 40 dollar K&N filter. So I am not complaining. What do you think? :banana2: Includes matching couplings to go with body color and it sounds MEAN. :drive:

Oh and I voted "Homemade Air Intake" because I could have done it, someone just beat me to it and sold them on ebay under the name "inake_power". :wave:

[01SilverDak01]

I custom built this Homemade Cold-Air Intake for my Powerdyne Supercharger,
then I had a local shop powdercoat all the Tubing so it looks presentable under the hood.

I still have a support Bracket to construct to hold the Filter in position.

[fontanamtrspts]

homemade here...i also bought one of those ebay dual in intakes, im working on making a dual air intake that pulls air from both fender wells.... but for now i am using the factory airbox,with the homebrew from the TB to the box,with k&n then i cut the friont of the box and used a 4in pipeflange and used inteke flex tube to go down into the inner fenderwell...heres some pics

I love the one i got i got the cheap daul cone one off ebay each cone sits rite behind each ram air hole if i found or built a box so the engine heat didn't rise up it would be even more effective then it is, i really like it tho. At shows it's the one to have people really flip out over it.

[redakota]

what intake option should i go with? i removed the flap which has to increase airflow, but should i go with a k&n filter and air-hat, or just go with the 14" k&n air-cleaner? which option would get me the best HP? i think my stock setup with the flap gone, and k&n filters and air hat would be best since its sucking in cold air from outside the engine, compared to a round one that can only suck in hot engine air. let me know guys..

It varries I stuck with a Ram air intake since it gets cold up hear. If your at a place that don't get cold I would get a Cold air intake. Ram air should back more power because there not that many tubes to feed the air to the engine. What I heard the shorter it is the better air flow it with get.

Seriously though, good luck, I hope it comes out good. Post some pics when it's done. :beer:

I also have the Mopar OEA intake. I haven't posted anything about it before now because I planned on painting it this weekend. I've also modified it to accept a 13.25" filter, unmodified it only accepts a 12.75" filter.

[Jake's Rt]

I am really thinking about putting a Mopar Oea intake on my truck. But i have issues with that. My brain tells me that you would be getting more air but it wouldnt be cold, hot air rises, so my question would be which is better, a cai or a air hat?

[03rtguy]

I have the AEM Brute Force kit with a Dryflow filter. It's far from cold air but sucks in plenty of volume and makes an interesting sound.

Modded 4.7 AFe Intake

[eharri3]

K&N FIPK 57-1716. LOVING IT! MAgnaflow exhaust sounds deeper and louder and the intake roar is awesome. I heard some trash-talking about the K&N filter's filtering abilities on the net right after I bought it so I ordered an AEM dryflow and put it on to see if I liked it better. I lost that distinctive K&N intake roar and my idle dropped 200 rpms. The K&N filter is back on, the AEM is sitting in the garage for use as a spare. I've never heard of a major engine problem caused by the K&N that wasn't attributable to user-error such as over-oiling so I'm sticking with it.

[Geoguy]

I got a Steiger Performance tube and bought a separate K&N filter that's a little longer. I love it - sounds great!

[fivetwo]

I have '93 dakota air cleaner assembly with a homebrew 4 inch ram air tube.

[realdeal7369]

K&N pipk here. bought mine used, off someone on here. worked out good. and with the hid ballasts mounted in close proximity to it, it fit like an undersized glove...lol

i want to further enclose it better, and then ceramic coat or just spray it in a nice red like my tail stripe.

[nick02]

mine's stock with the snork I think it's the best set up out there! after all paper filters do filter the best and the snork pulls cold air from the fenderwell that's devoid of any water that can enter my engine (unlike those cone filters) and why would dodge go to such legenth to design an airbox with a snorkel that pulls from the fenderwell? and that little metal plate with an X on it that protects the fenderwell from water that could be splashed up from underneath. whoever designed it know what they where doing.
I just got rid of the resonator box and replaced it with an homemade abs pipe system so I could hear the engine better, I noticed no preformance increse.

[SuperTrux]

I love it. I've noticed that it has a small amount more response down low and a little more torquey it seems like. No dyno evidence, but I like it more than my old K&N FIPK. I just wanted something that worked better with the ZEX nozzle ;)

[dakboy99rt]

i bought it for my 04 neon 2.0 but then got rid of the car but kept the intake. fits perfectly in my dakota.

[Leroy R/T]

....I just realized this thread is OLD! lol

[Fast4.7]

i got one from mopar but i think its the same thing as a k&n only really expensive but i did notice a little bit of a performance change but a major sound change.

[dakotanut]

Where do I buy the 360 Air Intakez?

[SinCity R/T]

Where do I buy the 360 Air Intakez?

They don't sell air intakes anymore - the powder coating side of their shop got really busy over the years, the profit vs. labor ratio is much higher than it was to build air intakes by hand. You can contact them at www.vegaspowdercoating.com but odds are they'll say no, especially if they have some big casino/convention projects going.

[dakotanut]

I see that most of them are out of business or don't make an C.A.I. for a 4.7L. What do I do for one? I don't want the home made one.

[DaKoTa 35-2]

I just bought the chrome intakes one off of EBAY with the K&N cant beat 75 shipped all ya gotta do is make a heatshield...:mullet:

[dakotanut]

Would you happen to have instructions on that?

[dakboy99rt]

i bought an intake for my old neon for 25 bucks and made it fit the dakota. works for now. but im gonna get a k&n fipk sooner or later.

[linelock]

I just bought an AFE intake for my 4.7 Durango. I like it :)

[Derrick1227]

I went K&N but I really like the set up of an AFE so I might be switching in the near future

could someone post a picture of the 360 air intakez intake? just curious what it looks like and how it is setup.

[SHiVMan R/T]

I just bought the chrome intakes one off of EBAY with the K&N cant beat 75 shipped all ya gotta do is make a heatshield...:mullet:
Thats what I got! Love it!

[Derrick1227]

I saw the AFE for the 4.7 on ebay for as cheap as 217 I am very tempted but I'm gonna wait a bit

[03'Dakota]

I have a custom one but will be switching over to a K&N FIPK kit probably Friday :)

the FIPK boast more gains, and the airhat will flow more air and I heard they sound kick ass!

[DarksideJedi]

I just ordered the Airaid for my 01 Durango R/T :banana2:

[dakotanut]

Is there any info on how much more one does than another? Hp and lb-ft. Mileage and all.

[Rob454]

Stock intake and Fram Air hog filter. I go off road enough that I took off the intake I had before. it was a open element style and it was completely worthless off road. for street trucks doesnt matter the worse they see is a unpaved or dirty parking lot

[dakotanut]

What is the deal with the air hat?

[Tex]

K&N FIPK. I wish I would have got the 77 series now tho. Works good. Sucks as good as my wife does now, but not as good as she used to when we were dating.:funny:

Looks like your tranny dipstick is in the way. The hood is gonna close on it.

Naw, thats the dipsticks normal location. I didnt move it any. I thought it was dumb that it was soooo close to the intake heat sheild. Hood doesnt hit it. But it does look like it sticks up in the pic.

[dakotanut]

Ok. Looked like it would. I need one badly. I've got to replace my ball joints first. Soon!

[durango59rt]

AEM Brute Force..doesnt matter theyre all the same..best bet is probably to go with a homebrew and spend the money elsewhere but yeaah

[03'Dakota]

switched for a cheap E-bay intake to a K&N FIPK.

K&N MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

[durango59rt]

thats the filter that is making the difference. if you have a decent filter like k&n or the aem in mine, that is all you need..the rest is really just painted pvc piping

[dakotanut]

Aem brute force doesn't work on 4.7L's. I can't find one for it.

[dakotanut]

I only found it for 05-06 Dakotas. Will this work on a 2000? Does anyone have a pic of under the hood of a 05-06? That away I can compare.

[dakotanut]

I finally got to vote. I installed my FIPK yesterday and WHAT a difference it makes. I love the sound it makes when I floor it. Now it will beat my Tbird, I think?

[DAHEMIKOTA]

I got a cowel induction with a K&N filter. I made an aluminum sheild to keep engine heat out of the intake air. Also located the air temp sensor inside of the heat sheild.

[KeithBMI]

My Volant intake has been shipped.

I can't wait!

epic thread man!!! K&N FTW!!!!!

[Sk8erZero3]

what is 360 air intakez website? I went on what I thought what their site (www.360airintakez.com) and I couildnt find any air intakes just a bunch of links, it was like a search engine or something. It was very confusing, any help guys?

Thanks, Dan

[R/Tdurango02]

I now have the FIPK and have no complaints

[JCFDak01]

I have a aFe, love the design over the FIPK. Direct flow of air with awesome heat shield.

[98durangoSRT]

Been through 10 pgs of posts-is K&N really that much better and AirAid? And what about round element vs conical/air tube? About the only differance I found with my airaid was the sound.

[huskerrt79]

As long as it says Mopar!!!

[CTSHIRT]

I use the 10" Edelbrock air cleaner w/ a 2.75" K&N filter and it works great, no padding under the hood and the wingnut JUST barely rubs. I had to make a longer threaded rod to fit the filter, otherwise it dropped right in and Edelbrock air cleaners allow you to use the stock breather hose w/o interference of the throttle cable.

$39.99 for the air cleaner - $30 gift certificate :)
$25 K&N filter from a friend
$1.71 for threaded rod

$40 and much better than stock.

[dakboy99rt]

i just got the k&n fipk brand new for 100 bucks on ebay. love it. only thing missing from the box was instructions and a rubber washer. even came with the recharge kit.

well guys im gonna need some statistical data more than just your "ass dyno"
before i buy anything
people say they can feel a difference but i dont think you can feel 15-20 more hp
people confuse noise for power

so does anybody have dyno stats?
or even before and after drag runs

[hskrRT]

Wow, this thread is old, but since people have been posting recently, I'll add in my take on intakes since I've used a few different types.

Started out with a QuickD CAI. Used a metal tube with a K&N cone filter and the stock airhat. Worked great for the price and didn't look too bad. Was less than $100. This was back in 2000. But I did add the CAI and 52mm QuickD(Fastman) throttle body at the same time. I ran this sset up for a few years and a few different mods.

Replaced the QuickD intake with a used K&N FIPK I scored from Scott Q for $75. This was pre-GiSM era. Worked a lot better than the QuickD metal tube with the stock airhat. The stock aairhat presents it's own restrictions. The K&N tube is one of the better flowing tubes available according the Bruce from F&B. Ran this for a couplee yrear, then replaced the filter that comes with the kit with a larger 9" long Spectre filter. Can't really say I noticed any difference, but it looked better because it was blue.

http://media2.dropshots.com/photos/122277/20061201/b_162146.jpg

Now I'm in my current configuration. I traded my F&N FIPK as seen in the above picture for a K&N open element with Exstream lid. Can't really say I noticed a huge performance difference because the FIPK flows more then enough for 95% of the people using them, including me. Only reason I switched was for looks alone. The open element just looks so much better on the 5.9L. Less clutter under the hood. Now the only real difference i did notice is that on hot days, off the line there is a slight loss in power from sucking in all the hot air from under the hood that the FIPK heat shield helps to block. But, once you get moving, at least with my ram air hood, the difference doesn't last long, and if anything helps get me off the line without spinning the tires easier. Doing some data logs with my digimoto software, once you get above 10mph, the intake air temp reading is only a few degrees higher than ambient. But I do have a ram air hood that lets in cool air directly towards the filter. I never did any logs with the FIPK.

[Infantry]

spent $35 today and built an intake, I just pulled the stock box, tore out the rubber next to the radiator, put some 3" tubing headed towards the passenger corner, and threw a cone on the end, think its spectra?. Got to get a brace or something though, Iv got it held in place with zip ties. But I love it.
Looks something like whats pictured on warlocks ride, although I didnt relocate or add any sensors.

[Lolamon]

Mines a K&N filter but the pipe is 3" SS that use to transfer beer at a brewery. I had one of the welders tig it up for me along with the exhaust tips after installing the electrical for his welder at home:D

[98Dak408]

I'm runnin' the K&N FIPK. Have been for about 8 years now I think. No problems. Flows good.

[charger_340]

I have a couple questions for people that have AEM intakes or the K&N X-stream filters.


How do you AEM owners like the intakes? They do come with some kind of heat shield, right? I ask because I swear I've seen some pics of the AEM ones and I saw no heat shield.


K&N X-stream users, what needs to be done with the vacuum line that runs into (near) the stock airhat? And if I remember correctly, it needs to be fastened to the throttle body in a different way, right? Is this the X-stream I'd want if I went that route? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KNN-66-3040/

[hskrRT]

When runniong the open element filter like I have with the x-stream lid, just put a breather on the valve ccover instead of having a hose to the airhat. It's an inlet for fresh air into the rank case so as long as you have a filter it's good.

[01 dakota]

i have the KN FIPK and i love that the noise of truck is much louder and in oticed the horse power

[SEG388]

Don't have one. But plan to put one on REALLY soon here. K&N. Just gotta find what will fit my truck.

[eharri3]

Been through 10 pgs of posts-is K&N really that much better and AirAid? And what about round element vs conical/air tube? About the only differance I found with my airaid was the sound.

It's good but not the best anymore. Nothing out there sounds as good but under certain circumstances I think my truck felt like a dog on the low end even though it pulled at 70 and above like never before. It lets in TONS more air than alot of the other intakes but without some tuning in alot of cases you won't make the best use of it.

If I do anything with my newtruck it will be a non-oiling filter in a sealed intake.

[JasonA]

I have the AEM on mine. I bought it used from this board and it works really great. It was missing the head shield...just the AEM DryFlow filter, the 4" aluminum tube (with support brace) and the AEM air hat.

I really like the kit. I'm not a fan of oiled filters, so the dry synthetic filter really appealed to me. It's washable just like other filters, but it doesn't rely on a thin film of oil to filter the air; it's a real filter. And because it's a "real" filter, it doesn't have that honking "wooo" sound do it when you get up on it. I had a K&N filter on my truck before, when I was playing around with a home-made intake. It had a real honk to it when I stepped on it. The AEM isn't so. But it made a nice performance difference over both the stock air box and my home-made job.

Because my AEM didn't come with a heat shield, I may make one. For now, I removed all the rubber shrouding next to the radiator and I imagine that lets in a lot of air. The filter sits pretty close behind it, so it's right in the air flow when moving.

Summary: because I'm not a fan of oiled filters, I really like the AEM system. But of course, anyone can buy an AEM DryFlow filter and put it on their own intake.

I hate reoiling my k&n thats on my aFe setup....kinda a PITA when you have to wait on it with the oil and drying it. Thinking of trying a AEM DryFlow on my aFe.

[Baxter02]

Im really surprised not many others have made an intake out of PCV pipe like I did? It withstands heat better than the ebay metal ones, and is cheap and easy to make yourself. The most expensive part is a nice K&N cone filter on the end. I will take a pic of mine in the daylight tomorrow. I still need to make a heat sheild between the filter and the engine, and I really should have crammed the filter a little further into the fender. Just wouldnt be able to pull it off to clean very easily if it was too far in there.

Here are a few pics:

I have a 10in holly base plate/cap and a K&N 10x2.5 filter. Pretty nice setup, little bit more getupngo. cost me 75 bucks from summit!

[ThisOldDak]

14x2 summit gauze filter/base and top combo. $40 and works great on my otherwise stock 318... atleast sofar since it's freakin cold out. Cuts warm up time in half.

[gocartone]

I would take that off ASAP. PCV pipe releases a gas thats bad for your engine when heated up by underhood temps, which is exactly why you don't see anyone else running it.

I got a K&N filter on an ebay chromeintakes kit. I would like to see a dyno comparing mine to the acctual K&N kit that costs well over twice as much, as I'm thinking you gain maybe 1hp MAX over my kit. An intake is an intake.

That would all depend on the level of mods done to the truck doing the dyno testing. Maybe on an otherwise stock motor, but a more modified motor will show a bigger difference. The stock airhat design isn't very efficient, which is why the K&N tube/airhat are shaped the way they are. Not saying the K&N FIPK is the best available, or worth the premium they want for them, but it is a tried and true unit that is better than any ebay special that requires the use of the stock airhat.

Mine doesn't use the stock airhat as I know that is the worst part of the factory intake. It's all 3" tubing from the TB to the filter. I know the K&N is a good unit, but what they charge for a plastic tube is retarded. The filter is what ~$60, then they want almost another $200 for a plastic tube and little heat shield, I can't believe they sell them for that much.

a second that.. and the thought that it holds up to heat better is wrong, pvc piping will eventually crack due to the change in heat.. yes it can withstand hot water easily, but have you ever seen 1000 degree hot water running thru them.. i don't think so, that's why most company use a ceramic coated intake tubing (well the good ones like airraid and K&N) anyways take that off asap.

i've seen (and done) some ghetto installs before but i've never use pvc, unlesss it was simply to get the angles correct and then go bend some pipe to fit..




oh and i'm running a full on custom setup, it's not finished yet so sorry.. no teasers. but i cut my hood up and i'm running a 6" "open-top" cone reusable filter and a RAI style hood design, it still need one final peice and a good paint before it's ready for debut.
