No they are separate systems the intercooler reservoir is much cooler when the engine is running since it doesn't run through the block.

I didn't pay attention to it initially but did add coolant to the intercooler reservoir. At the time it was sitting just above the min level and filled to max level. So far it hasn't changed it's level and it's been several weeks since it was filled. The radiator reservoir is at the max level...

I'm sure Mopar will have their own CAI too like they do for other models. No need for a aftermarket BOV since you can hear it having the CAI.

With the K&N CAI it removes the resonator tube that sits on top of the engine and the air filter and air box are no longer a choak point in the induction system. For me there is a gain in turbo/bov sound and increased air flow so it's not a waste. I don't think there was a 41HP gain but it does...

After putting on my K&N CAI you will definitely hear the turbos and bov. I put a Filter Wears pre-filter over the K&N filter to keep out any potential water since my sport hood vents are functional.

No it's stock.

Here are a couple of videos of the K&N CAI with BOV and turbo sounds.

Today the K&N CAI got installed the CAI wasn't too difficult. Pay attention to the direction of the MAS sensor it's easy to get 180 degrees off. I compared the Intake Air Temp before and after the installation it tends to be 2 degrees cooler than the stock box. It seems to recover faster from...

Instead of waiting for the S&B to finally be released, today I purchased the K&N online from Beef Cake Racing looking forward to the 41HP gain or at least audible turbo spool. lol

How does the K&N sound can you hear the turbos ? Is the air duct retained that goes next to the radiator?

I found a vendor by using the S&B part number they mentioned it would be available in March. I guess they were being optimistic.

Good for you!

I went from a 2023 Laramie 5.7L with 3.92 gears and 22" wheels to a 2025 Rebel. The Hurricane pulls stronger, doesn't downshift as often going up hills and gets better mileage than my 2023 Hemi. True the Inline 6 doesn't sound like a V8 but neither does a Cummins not a problem for me.

The best I got from my 2023 Laramie with 3.92 gears and 22" wheel option was 17.5 mpg.

That would be cool if you could get a Scat Pack 392 in a 1500. Have never understood why not since the 6.2 Hellcat was in the TRX.
