Didn't think about that. But, some online dealers won't even sell or ship to CA.
OK, then what is the best CAI for overall performance.
I live in freedomless California and was able to get the AFE CAI from Summit Racing. When checking out make sure you select ”non-highway“ or something like that or “won’t be still on the highway” and they'll shipped it. But beware though that it must be instock and ship from Summit racing instead of it shipping from the manufacture or the Oder will be cancel.
However it felt like the truck lost power. Like a sluggish feeling to it. I reinstall the stock intake and the “lost“ power was restored. I did a test like 3 times with the CAI vs stock and the stock felt better. So I returned it. It good luck.
I think it needs a tune. The modern tuning of today's cars are very sensitive to the air intake, more so than ever before.
I agree. Good thing accepted the return. Saved that 300+ bucks for something else. Only mod I have done is the exhaust.
Me too, I love my exhaust, so happy since it really matches the Hemi and gives it that sense of occasion when I drive it.
But a intake would also be nice, I guess we'll have to step up to the plate and buy that pricey one from Mopar to keep with the warranty. It is supposed to improve performance without requiring a tune. However, it's still not officially available for sale.
I been looking into that as well. For 1k it better increase performance.
It's been officially for sale since october 1. I've had one on my '19 limited DT since 10/15.Me too, I love my exhaust, so happy since it really matches the Hemi and gives it that sense of occasion when I drive it.

As for gains, it makes a wonderful noise.....not sure it's actually making much additional power though (hard to feel 5-10hp on an almost 400hp engine).
Ya my cold air was shipped to Colorado then back to Ca.Didn't think about that. But, some online dealers won't even sell or ship to CA.
I went with the S&B and love it. Smog should not be a problem for some time and hopefully we will be out of California by thenHave you checked K&N? A few years ago I had a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.2l V8 which I added a K&N CAI. I was able to get a CARB sticker from K&N for it so was approved for use in Cali. Maybe they still make one for the 5.7l Hemi...?
I got a S&B they canceled my order had to have it shipped to Colorado then sent back to San Diego.Never had an issue, most dealers I've seen have no issues shipping to CA for non-CARB stuff, especially since you can use them on "non-road" applications and its up to the end user to use it legally. Just bought a set of headers for my Mustang, non-CARB complaint.
