I own a K&M and IMHO, I notice nothing more than the cool sound. I firmly believe that the OEM intake, especially if a more freely flowing filter is used, is probably just as good a CAI as any, and better than most. It's not like the old days where the intake was drawing from directly behind the radiator inside the engine bay.
In reality, the K&N draws air from EXACTLY the same place as the OEM, and even though it probably flows better, it also probably does a worse job of insulating against warm air intrusion,
Agreed, small minimal gains while allowing more trash to enter the engine. If your going to change it you need to change the direction of the air and how it enters the TB. Shortest straight through path usually works... vararam comes to mind and probably why it’s the best performing intake offered for the ram.
