which is better?

[swamp_life hemi 05]

I'm looking for a throttle body spacer that does the most for my hemi, which is best? AFE, Jet, or Airaid??

 

[Bluesmoke91]

lotta dudes on here will tell you to skip the TB spacer...

 

[swamp_life hemi 05]

Lol ok. Just thought any increase is better than a decrease lol

 

[ramhunter9]

yup ... a big ol paper weight

 

[swamp_life hemi 05]

Ok ill just save the money for a CAI..... any suggestions on a good quality for low price?

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

K&N all the way.

 

[Bluesmoke91]

or Volant...they got good stuff.

 

[ramhunter9]

K&N drop in replacement 40 bucks .... done !

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

i have a drop in replacement i used for about a month. let me look at it and see how it is but if you want it you can have it just for the price of shipping

 

[swamp_life hemi 05]

Mine is the rechargeable it doesn't make much of a difference from that to a full CAI?

 

[pavester]

dont worry about a tb spacer, doesnt do much on modern engines unless you plan to tap it for nitrous.

k&n
afe
volant

they are all good names in the CAI business. or if you want to spend some coin look for a bfi intake or vararam.

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

i love my vararam. but i also bought if for the price of an K&N

make your own our of some 4" abs and a cone filter. works the same as a $200-300 intake. or just do like i did, get a drop in k&n filter, and replace the hemi hat with an airraid M.I.T. for your level of mods, either of those options would be superb, and wont break the bank.

edit: oh yeah. ditch the idea about the spacer. worthless piece of junk on a fuel injected engine. only thing its good for is making a real annoying whistling sound.

Ok thanks guys. I'm glad I signed up to this forum lol here's another question...... Long tube headers and an MBRP catback, or direct bolt on short headers with the MBRP? With the stock cats included with both.

 

[swamp_life hemi 05]

Just priced the Airaid tube, $109 for the tube and install parts, good idea or no?

 

[ramhunter9]

For just the tube ..ehh I would make my own If it were me .

Search on the forum here ... Home brew CAI .. or home made CAI ..

Isn't there a sensor on the intake hose? Wat did you use?
