The K&N has a nicer box and filter has more face so you get more air through it.
The mopar tube looks nicer.If you have the money buy both and use chrome tube but the rest K&N.
Thats my opinion. Ask Andre..he is the seasoned racer.

Well, I can't tell ya what the performance pick up was.....I did the Zoomers Exhaust at the same time! And now I'm ready to use the Predator tuner and 180 Tstat....which was just delivered!! During my research they all tested about the same.....My choice to use the Mopar CAI was to keep the Mopar Emblem where everyone can see it.....make the real performance mods where they can't be seen! I've been racing cars for 25 years Mopar, Porsche and Lexus (SCCA,PCA,WWSCC,BSCC)...never get tired of the quest for speed!

I did the C&L yesterday and love the look under the hood. [8D] Plus it was $75.00 cheaper for same performance. Several people have said it's all about the look you want when you pop open your hood. They all have the same ratings for the most part.

Hey guys

Just recently got my 2009 Challenger. Been looking to see if there are any websites that sell performance parts for them yet. Any good ones out there yet?
