Mopar Cold Air Intake

I am going to buy a CAI to go along with my borla aggressive exhaust and was looking at going with the mopar set up for the 5.7. However befor I did I wanted to know how it compaired to the other ones out there like the AFE stage 2, and the air hammer, and if there was one that was more compatable with the borla exhaust then the other.

The AFE Stage 2 and the Air Hammer are the only two that make any real
hp increase.

All the others, like the Mopar, K&N, Dub and such can actually LOOSE hp
over the stock air intake set-up. This has been proven by several intake
face offs done by people from this site and the LX forums.

If you do a search for these words: "intake face off" or "GIFO" you will
get the pages you need to see this.

All the intakes will make alot more noise over the stock set-up, so if you
just want more sound, then any intake is a good choice.

The Mopar intake is a nice clean looking set-up with a moderate sound
increase and just a hint of better throttle response.

So, if you want just sound, go with the Mopar. If you want to get an actual
increase in power for your intake money, go AFE or Air Hammer.

Thanks Jim that was a lot of help although sound is some what of a concern, HP is my main focus. That being said that completely changes things and I will more then likly be going with airhammer if I can find it. Thank you for the help.

Hi guys,
Im sorry to thread jack. I actually registered on this site for my cousin. I have a question if I may. Again sorry for the thread jack.

My cousin bought a 300 V6 2.7L. Is there an Air Hammer intake system for that type of engine? Iv been looking and all I see are for hemis. If not, what would you guys recommend for it. I know its not a power monster but he wants a little more get up and go and is already getting an exhaust for it.

Thanks for your response ahead of time.

Jesse

Edit: No turbos or engine swaps lol. Thanks again.

Go over to the LX forum and do a search for "Hammer Motorsports".

Rev Hammer makes these intakes now for all the LX cars, including one
for the V6 guys.

You can get a shiny stainless steel setup, or a gunmetal colored one, or
I think he can even paint it to match your cars exterior color.

Be advised that with the most hp increase comes the most sound! So the
AFE and the Air Hammer will be the loudest ones over stock, but they will
make you the most power for your money.

Here is one of the V6 Hammer intakes for you to check out:
