I was planning on installing a cold air intake when I get my 2009 SRT, but now I am having second thoughts.

I have read that the metal intake tubes on some after-market systems conduct heat and they do not produce the same level of sound as an "open" cone-type filter. (Note- "Cones" are not advisable because of high under-hood temperatures). Also, a cold air return is a waste of $300 if you do not use a Diablo or Predator tuner and, possibly, a cat-back system.

Since the cold air intake on the SRT is a good one, I am now thinking about just adding a panel-type high-flow air filter, similar to what was installed on the 2006 Challenger concept.

Has anyone tested this set-up?
