Owned 2017 1500 sport for about a year now. Joined to find info on maintaining and caring for the vehicle so I get the most years I can out of 'Er. Most interested in whether I should get a cold air intake to let the engine breathe a bit. Thoughts?

Welcome! CAI talk is subjective. Its more about looks overall...but I have noticed a nice seat of the pants boost around 3K RPM's when my Hemi opens up...but maybe its just me

Some like CAIntakes...some say don't bother. Its personal preference. I have the S&B intake myself...love it!

Hello and welcome.
In my opinion Just add a 3" flexible tube to the factory cold air box for more air and save the money of a cai
I did on my 17 and it feels,( butt dyno), it pulls longer on opening it up.

Nice. I heard a tank of fuel, I have gas, but diesel as well can last a third longer too.

Thanks for the pic too, that's nice

Welcome from Maryland. As others have said the CAI debate is personal choice. I have the K&N system on my 17, it was on my 14 as well. My truck runs well and I love the sound of air being sucked into my engine as I accelerate.

Welcome to RamForum.

I usually add a cold air intake to all my vehicles. I don't expect a huge increase in power but what I do get is better throttle response which is always good.

With more air in I end up doing the exhaust to get more air out. Then, I want to get a programmer to manage that air increase, spark and fuel.

Point being...be careful. One mod leads to another to another, etc...and soon your bank account is empty.

View media item 24745 The CAI is just the 1st mod to support other mods for better performance. I installed the K&N Performance unit on my 07' Quad Cab.

Go S&B or get a drop in filter. Your ram already has CAI stock and without a tune your just doing it for a little more sound.
