[Bbons]

Just looking for someone who has installed cold air intake in their 1500. Seeking pros and cons!
Thank you in advance

Do it for looks only, because there is no performance to be gained from installing one.

And lots of threads about them. Search and do a little reading.

Pro : Make cool noise

Con: Waste of money with no real hp gain unless you have other engine mods and tune.

Stock intake has good flow, put a k&n drop in or similar and call it a day.

Stock intake IS a cold air intake. Unless you're looking to change the sound or want that look you're better off spending your money on something else.

All newbs should read all the posts on this thread and learn from what these gentlemen have stated. Save your money for something useful.

l'll disagree with the others, as I installed the Mopar CAI and noticed a slight difference, PLUS the stock exhaust ( NOT intake noise ) got louder once installed. Take it for what it is.

* waits for comment about some scientific BS

In addition to the K&N drop in air filter I removed the other factory filter from the top lid of the airbox. Just a little more "V-8" sound. I like it.

Here's my "scientific bs". If you followed directions, and disconnected the battery during install, that was the cause of your "slight difference" as all the saved adaptives were reset in the PCM. It probably felt like you had a little better throttle response, maybe slightly quicker shifts.

Nope, didn't disconnect to make STOCK exhaust louder

Don't underestimate the human factor, which can be geometric. Like the intake sound, therefore press harder on accelerator to get it to make that sound, which also makes more exhaust sound, therefore press harder to get that sound too.

Nope, but nice try

SOTP is very subjective and not a valid measurement when determining any performance gains. My Vararam intake helped my 0-60 times when first installed, but made zero difference in my 1/8 mile times at the drag strip.

Scientific BS:
I read that this bolt on plastic tube adds 25hp. Wow, it's $$$, but boy does it look cool. If I have 25 extra HP, I'll be lightning fast because this truck is already quick.

Whew! Saturday morning and I got it bolted on. I hope it was worth the $$$. Now for a test drive. ...... Man I am glad I spent those $$$! I'll be dusting all those Shelby Fords out there now! Wait till I pull away from one of those Challengers with a 392 Scat Pac. They think they have something. Whoooo! I am fast!

I'm getting a throttle body spacer next and heading to the track to shut down some Hellcats!

(Note: was driving a 1984 Toyota pickup before but it disintegrated into a pile of rust)

Thanks for the sarcasm, I enjoy internet cheap entertainment. Also nobody said it added 25Hp, so your comment is MUTE. Enjoy fellas

Point being, people spend money expecting results so psychologically they will believe there are results.

Point being, you're wasting your time and take your BS elsewhere since you want to act like an *ss.

Nobody said this made a HUGE difference and also with the exhaust note being louder, that's proof enough for me it's doing something. Agree or don't, I don't give two sh*ts!!

Touched a nerve did I? Your opinion on experience on a forum doesn't change the effectiveness of CAI'S. This topic comes up all the time. You should find it easily.

Hearing the engine/exhaust more is a byproduct of installing one because you remove the factory intake that is designed to help keep the engine quiet. As most regular buyers want a quiet vehicle
