I thought it was a 5th Gen thing?

-K

Thats what I thought too, but if you look on any of the Mopar parts sites its lists a different PN for the newer DS trucks

Up to 2017:

53032405AC​

2018-22 DS and Classic:

My 19 classic had rhe charcoal filter. I'm thinking it was a 17/18 change/update.

I just did some data logging for a custom tune and the P-Rat Map pid reached a max value of 0.9961 with the Hemi intake. Everything on the truck is stock aside from a custom tune and ARH catted long tube headers.

Used MagicMarker and cut original bottom air box for the larger intake for box fit like a glove.
Noticed the Air Intake Temp is lower, which should result in more umph the change in airflow has to be quite a bit since the size is about half again bigger into lower part of airbox. Plenty of COLD AIR coming in now.

Sorry for asking a question that might have been answered already but I'm not so up to speed on all of the metrics provided int he original post... Are there real gains in performance and MPG's with this air box/snorkle mod?

As noted in the first post, the intake restriction is lowered. On a naturally aspirated engine that a good thing, less restrictions of air in can help with making power and better fuel economy.

I've had it for a few years.

There is worse ways to waste money, but no real performance nor MPG improvement.

Does this work on a 5th gen new body style?
No, this is 4th gen only. The 5th gens actually have a pretty good setup from the factory. The duct to the airbox comes from the grill area not the fender.
