Mopar Performance Sport Hood Ram Air Cold Air Intake

PaPa_Brewskey · Feb 20, 2018

Has anyone bought the Mopar Cold Air Intake along with the Sport Hood Ram Air Kit? The Ram Air kit requires the Mopar CAI kit, but is this combination worth the $600+

Just wondering if anyone has this, and /or other opinions. My inclination is that the factory air intake is fine, but if you have other opinions or evidence, please share it.

Made a difference on the highway especially above 55. Didn't notice much sound though. It is carb certified and 50 state legal which is why it carries a high price tag. It also fits like factory without modification.

Always wondered about this as well. I suppose going with this factory kit avoids any warranty concerns as well?

It's the amount of CFM the unit flows over stock that makes the power.

Can you expand on what kind of difference it made? MPG, acceleration, towing,etc? Did you do any exhaust mod to help it breath? It looks great on your truck!

Acceleration at freeway speed between 55-85mph. Mpg was slightly better. .5 mpg
I didn't have a before and after with towing so I can't really comment there.
Longtubes are on now which really woke up the truck.

Overall I'm pleased with the mods and would do them again if I had to do it over.

Does any one know how much the full Mopar set up cost?

88ROOK · Mar 23, 2018

Mopar performace parts website has the CAI itself at $526 and the Ram Air Hood Kit is $374. Don't know of anywhere else to purchase these particular items.

All Mopar Parts, from this forum, is somewhat less;

Not sure you'll get anything out of it with a stock tune. Does it make both the scoops work and route to the one side?

I want the sport hood alone just for the hooks, but this may tempt me to buy now.

88ROOK · Mar 24, 2018

only one scoop works (passenger side), the piece behind the small honeycomb grill comes off, and you have the option of removeable plate on top of the CAI, 3 10mm bolts easy on and off. dealer advised me to run with the plate on when its going to rain or is raining

I've lived it Seattle. Never had to worry about water getting into the CAI

you have the sport hood mod? driving down the highway in a pouring rain, i could see how the rain would get sucked in through the hood

They make “Air filter bags” that are water resistant, they just wick water away, Afe, s&b,K&N.. I used to run them on my quads, ran a similar product on my Snowmobile, they work really well, just got to find them.

The product that is mentioned is to protect open element filters.

The sport hood going to the cai box then to the filter will barely leave a mist if any.

Now use logic when you're driving. Because I've never had a problem doesn't mean you can go driving through a hurricane
