cdoggown Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) SO I finally found some time to install my K&N Air Charger Cold Air Intake yesterday. I know a lot of you have done this before, but this was my first time on the first car Ive owned where I thought the upgrade was worth the expense. The verdict? Aside from looking nice under the hood, it sounds a LOT meaner. Under heavy accelleration you can hear it take a deep breath and then it sounds like a monster. And this with the stock exhaust. I havent noticed the 21HP gain K&N guarantees, but it does feel just a little quicker, though it could be all in my head. If any of you have an LX based vehicle, I found LXForums.com to be a great help with the mods, large and small. The community is mostly Magnum owners, but there are a few other Charger owners there, with a few 300 owners peppered in for good measure.

airman Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 i'd be danged if anyone gets 21hp off a cold air intake though. sure, it's K&N, but there are factors...such as how dirty the stock intake is, if the new one is placed in the right spot (not getting any/much hot air), etc. but it definitely does bring a complete different sound to any engine. *psst* if you want it even meaner sounding take off your main catcon...if you're state aren't bastards about emissions */psst* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdoggown Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Editing first post to include pics. I am planning on cutting off my resonators and using a pipe and tip set from Blastin Bob's. Should add between 5 and 11 db. Sorry about not having the pics to begin with, I figured since I had already posted pics of the car stock, and most of you had seen an intake before, it was no big deal. Though I did swap the chrome grill for a black one, not that you can see it in my amazing photographs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I'm waiting to get a cold air kit for my Ram. That coupled with the Flowmaster exhaust already on it and it will sound great from both ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That coupled with the Flowmaster exhaust already on it and it will sound great from both ends. Are you doing just a CAI or are you going to get a RAM AIR setup using a hood scoop? I was debating between the two and decided on the CAI only because a new hood is $700 not counting paint... someday maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoArmistead Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Excellent. I noticed a nice jump on my Bronco from the FIPK with throttle response. Now that you have the modified intake, just get a nice set of headers and redo the exhaust and that thing will sound like a beast and act like one too.
