S&B cai installed this afternoon

[zogg]

Got my S&B yesterday so I thought I would install it on this beautiful afternoon. It looks great now that it is in, but it is kind of a pain to install.....
The directions said to remove the screws and push pins holding the fender well liner in place so it can be removed . Sure wish the instruction sheet would have said where they were...took a long time to find them and missed one....had to wrinkle the liner to get to the bolts .
Having installed a volant on a previous ram, I doubt i would do another S&B.....too damm much trouble....plus the volant comes with the donaldson power core filter...
I much prefer the look of the S&B over the volant and the volant is a smaller unit.
Now that its done i am happy with it but ??????

You would have had to do the same with the Volant as well. Any intake that requires you to remove the factory airbox tray will require you to remove the front passenger fender liner to get to the lower bolts that attach that tray to the frame.

How much of a pain is it to do this with Flares?

 

[Hemi450hp]

The S&B install isnt difficult, just takes a few extra minutes because you have to drop the front passenger wheel well liner to get to the lower airbox bolts. This is held on with 5-6 8mm bolts and 3 plastic push pins. The push pins are normally 1 use only, so S&B includes new ones with the kit. The 8mm bolts that hold the wheel well liner on are the same bolts that secure the flares to the fender, so it isnt really any more work.

It's not really that hard. Just alittle more time consuming. But like said once installed I love the way mine looks.

Puh-Leeze! The whole install takes less than half an hour. I mean come-on, Nerfs take more time than that! S&B gives you the dang replacement pins.

Just a note, the volant does not require removing the fender liner .

I most certainly do like the look of the S&B and there is a slight increase in torque....feels good.

Overall i am very happy with it, just wish the direction were a bit clearer.....

Does the new Volants use the stock airbox?

Nope...it comes with its own air box

The sound of my CAI is addicting.

FWIW, it looks cool.

After replacing "gears", CAI, and Hemi Fever, I'd never be satisfied with a stock configuration again. That was money well spent, in my case. Thanks to Matt!

I wasn't 100% sold on the S&B.. but I've had it for a week now and LOVE it.

I 'think' it gets better MPG too but I can't keep my foot off the gas, it sounds so damn good!
