Default CAI questions

I have a few questions about buying & installing a CAI for my R/T. Right now my MDS seems to be working great. Is there any chance that by installing a CAI that it may hamper the MDS? What seems to be the best CAI...the Mopar seems like a nice one but K&N looks good too. Also, how hard are they to install? Thanks

I went with MOPAR CAI and it was easy to install 30- 45 minutes tops comes with easy to read instructions and picture, besides i like the way mopar looks under the hood as far as the MDS no noticeable difference. While i was at it i installed the tower strut and hood struts looks good. Will be ordering kooks header and x-pipe in next few weeks

This is one mod I will be doing and like most things I do I research it to death. I too like the Mopar but there was another that had dyno proven 15 HP increase. It seemed to have a bigger filter and bigger diameter.. But was made of plastic. I seem to lean towards the polished aluminium... it looks really nice under the hood.

Most of the time aluminum is louder. That seems to be the main reason most are made of abs.

Go with the Mopar one. Looks killer!
But if you have a 5.7 R/T don't order one from Dodge. They are still confused which one to use.
They'll try and sell you the one for the 6.1
Just buy a 5.7 one for a Charger off ebay instead, but you need to pick up a small 40 cent hose clamp to finish the job totally.
