Cold air intake

What’s up RAMFAM,

What is the best cold air intake for a 2025 1500 SST 3.0? I have been looking and have no idea which way to go. k&N, S&B, etc. what had you noticed when using yours. Thanks

The truck most likely comes with a CAI. Pretty much all do now. If you are looking for looks, go for it. If you are looking for HP/Torque gains, forget it and save your money.

He's not lying. I wasted money on two intake (vararam and Mopar top mount) with no gains in hp or mpg. It looks nice though. I drop in filter will get the job done.

Wrong, the K&N makes noticeable gains with tuner. yesterday an SO got into the 11sec range with Diablo tuner and K&N CAI, and NO they don't come with one.

That's WITH a tuner. It isn't what He asked. I believe he is talking stock truck. HP gains can be made on modified trucks, but that is dependent on how much you want to spend per pony.
These stock trucks come with a CAI configured intake, as opposed to the old air cleaners under the hood where all the heat is.

Stick with dry, oiled isn't worth the hassle or minimal gains over dry, or chance for dirt.

Stock intake would also make gains with a tuner. The difference is the K&N would allow rocks to pass though the intake

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.
