Better flowing intake for 5.7 w/Ecodiesel lower airbox

Above a closeup of the Hemi box.

Below a closeup of the EcoD box.

For some reason the EcoD box removed the small cut out in the Hemi box seen above. Everything else looks the same to me and my tape measure.

Maybe the cut out is necessary in the Hemi box due to the considerably smaller inlet tube.

I'm guessing the cut out area is clearance for something under the air box. The EcoDiesel filter pleats are deeper than the Hemi, so you would think more area is needed inside.

Installed mine today only 15 mins work no Dremel or anything else needed, easy as plug and play!

They finally got more stock and got mine to me Friday. Installed it today, the part that probably took the longest was swapping the rubber grommets and metal latches over to the new lower box and the entire process still took only abtou 20 minutes, including cleaning the sticker off the inlet.

Yeah those metal latches are a pain to get off the old base...

They do like to fly off into the distance once when they finally pop off, don't they? I had to chase three of the four across the drivway.

For those who have done it are you still pleased. Any better engine responsiveness or more noise? I’m all for it just for the better filtration and airflow but just curious ... got a few things to do to the truck soon and thought I might add this to it

My butt dyno feels nothing, no extra noise.. but the inlettube is greater so it must be getting more air as the Topicstarter reads on his tune.

Yeah. The butt dyno didn't show anything for me either. I'm guessing that it's because that the stock inlet is plenty enough for a stock motor. My motor is completely untouched, besides a Magnaflow muffler (and a catch can). I'm sure with a few bolt on mods and a tuner, it would probably make a difference.

I did notice a slight throttle response improvement but I'm also tuned with headers and a ported TB...

Does anyone know if this mod is a direct fit on the 2017 5.7L?

It should be, in fact it should be a direct swap of the factory lower box and intake tube on all 2009-2018 and 2019 Classic 1500s with the 5.7

It is a direct swap, if fits perfect no modifying needed

Thanks for saving me money on the S&B ordering now.

For most. I don't know why, but I said it a few pages back... I had to trim mine a little. I think one other guy had to do the same thing.

What year is your truck?

It is and I didn't trim anything on mine.
