Someone could start up a catch can thread for the trifecta of disputes

another MPG thread to top it all off?

 

[AngelPhoenix]

Or how about lift vs no lift? Or does literally everyone but me lift?

 

[Whoa_Ram]

Or a, “ do I need UCA’s?” Or “do these tires fit?”

 

[Trooper4]

That's the nice thing about life, choices. It's all about them, and when a truck is thrown into the mix, it just makes it more interesting

Lets just add oil weight for the cherry on top while we're at it

 

[AngelPhoenix]

Uw, uw I got one! eTorque vs non-eTorque, that's like the new controversy kid on the block vs these age-old's

 

[BigBlueBeast]

seeing the Mopar intake it looks awesome. BUT I would like to know if it is actually doing anything besides looking cool. I didn't read all 51 pages but from my experience with CAI's I am assuming the gains without a tune and stuff like a larger TB and exhaust would be minimal

It would add moreto the already over inflated cost of the truck and provide little to nothing other than more cabin

If they all came with this intake the cost difference would be nothing. Also, I bought this truck with a V8 because I like the sound provided under acceleration! And like others have said, I just wanted to.

Your money, your truck, go for it.

Exactly.

Besides looks and a little noise the only practical benefit is that it frees up a lot of room under the hood to make installing mods such as a second battery, air compressor and the like much easier and cleaner. The re-usable air filter is nice, but there are much cheaper alternatives for that.

Yes, it also works with e-torque. (Oui, cela fonctionne aussi avec e-torque) Google translator

So far, no. But, the included filter is reusable.

I was interested in getting a performance filter like K&N but can’t find.

Thanks for photos, they answer my questions "will it fit etorque" (yes) and "do I need to remove engine cover' (no) and "does it really clean up passenger side inside fender" (yes).

Now I just have to bite the bullet on the cost ...

Ram's All New Intake, Where Is It?

Mopar's “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

Back in February 2018, the Mopar brand released a bunch of aftermarket parts for the 2019 Ram 1500 at the Chicago Auto Show. Most of those parts were showcased on their Mopar-modified 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn Sport 4×4. One of those parts shown was the “Ram Airflow” cold-air intake system. The new...

I've been considering buying this. Currently have an Air Raid CAI on 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. Very happy with it but MOPAR seems to be getting stricter on non-factory mods. MOPAR CAI is about 800 ish and install on top of that. AIrraids and K&N are a third of that price. Maybe Santa will drop a new MOPAR CAI down my chimney. Happy holidays everyone!

 

[Whoa_Ram]

Install is super easy! I would tackle it yourself.

 

[grimreefer]

Just joined the group by adding the Mopar CAI. All I can say it that I love it. It cleared up the engine bay and left a good spot to add an air compressor or a second battery down the road. I can agree with a few folks that say it does make the truck feel smooth when accelerating. I don't think I gained no crazy power or torque, but something just feels different in a good way. I might have to add my Borla muffler back on it when I come back from my 2500 mile trip to Aspen. Going to definitely put some miles on it and see how it performs.

Used to be, after a cold start, the first time I put it in drive I'd get a hesitation when accelerating once and then everything would be normal. Since I installed the Airflow the hesitation is gone.

Picked it up for five bills from a member here who traded his 1500 for a Power Wagon. Win win. Very easy install.

And some gratuitous pics... just because.

I currently run a s&b enclosed Cai. Do you guys think it's worth switching over to the mopar one?

I like mine for many reasons, but bang-for-the-buck is not one of them. If you are looking for a good power-gain/positive-effects to $ ratio, this is not an efficient upgrade, especially if you already have a larger filter (like the S&B).

If you like the looks of the Mopar unit better, then do it for that reason, but don't do it for any power or MPG you think you'll get over the S&B; the difference, if there is one, will be extremely small and not worth the $$$.

I had a S&B (dry filter) on my 2014. Liked it then too. Here is why I did the Mopar unit instead of a S&B or Volant for my 2020...

• Removing/replacing the Mopar filter is easier.
• The Mopar filter is easier to clean.
• Potential warranty reasons (Mopar is less likely to void it), although my dealership has never cared about intakes in the past.
• I liked the looks better.
• I liked the idea of moving the intake up a little higher.
• Frees up space where the old airbox used to be for something else in the future.

But if I already had spent the money on the S&B, I'm not sure I would swap it for the Mopar unit. Entirely up to you.
