Mopar or s&b Cai

[Nestor8]

Been comparing and looking and cant make up my mind anyone have any ideas on which is best? i looked at the vararams but they dont appeal to me.

There's no downside to either one, but be aware that the Mopar is made by K&N but you pay a premium for it being "Mopar", so you could just buy the K&N and save some money.
Many have reported the S&B has great fitment & quality- that's the direction I'm going any month now after much research.

Mopar intake is made by AEM, not K&N.

Between the 2, I would go with the S&B hands down. I dont like that he Mopar intake doesnt get rid of the restrictive intake tubing, and especially for the added price.

S&B is the way to go, been running mine since june and love it.

S&B no doubt about it

Thoughts on S&B or Vararam?

 

[fastNugly]

Personally, if you aren't going for full on track times, I would go S&B. If the RIPP deal doesn't go through with web, I will be selling my vararam after my next few track attempts and getting the S&B just to have it for the better, tighter, daily driving fitment and reliability. Not that anything is wrong with the vararam, just i don't like how it's not fixed to anything.

Not what I'd like to hear especially from you....LOL
I have mine (vararam) arriving this week but heavily considering on sending it back and grabbing the S&B as I hear nothing but great things and it looks damn good
Plus it's cheaper.

Any noticeable gains?
Is it noisy at WOT?

First off the s&b w/0 second scoop is cheaper. But without the air scoop your not getting cold air to your truck.

Good point!
And with that second scoop, it ends up costing more than the vararam.
Either way, I sold my vararam the moment it came in. Lol

I think throttle response is a bit better and at WOT you can hear it, but it sounds good!
