Question K@N air filters

Just wondering if K@N has come out with an air filter for the Magnum SRT-8??? I usually go with the K@N cold-air intake, but after having it on my 04 SRT-10 (Ram) I was not impressed at all. Alot of SRT-10 owners went back to the stock intake,claiming better air flow. If anyone could tell me if there is a site that sells the air filters, I would greatly appreciate it .thanks John

I'm running a K&N filter in mine - more out of habbit then anything else. Probably very little to no gain but there is a small sound improvement.

Can't remember where I bought mine...a five second Google search came up with this though :

Question

Thanks Nexus. Being that they are the same motor, there wouldn't be any difference right???? The reason I'm asking is because they have no listing on that web-site for a K@N filter for the Magnum SRT-8. Strange huh????

I would guess that the airbox is the same for the Charger SRT8 and 300C SRT8...but I'm not 100%. Better check just with some of the Charger guys just to be safe.

you could just check with any parts store.....Napa or whatever.... and see if the part number for the regular replacement filter is the same for both cars; obviously if they are then the K&N would be the same too.

Are all K&N filters washable and reusable like the one in the link above? Are these better than the stock filters? What's the replacement air filter of choice for our Vixens?

The air filters are all the same....even for the 5.7's



.............Got my K&N filter from my Dodge dealer. I did not believe they all used the same size filter till the service manager showed me. Only the tubing and boxes are different between them all Maggies, Chargers, 300's, 5.7's & 6.1's.....the air filters are the same.

All the 6.1s' have the same boxes and primary tube's, but the 300 has some appendix that is supposed to reduce engine noise since it is a "luxury model compared to the Charger's & Maggies which are meant to have a more sporting & utilitarian ergonomic.

Cool I Switched from K&N.......

I switched from _&_ ( used them for years ), after reading somewhere about reuseable air filters,
to Tru Flow Filter, I use the dropin on my modified airbox. The TruFlow is also
a "Lifetime" filter,washable,reusable,etc. But it is made from foam.Cost is about the same.
Report said it filtered much better on the smaller particles,even
as it began to get dirty. I've only had it on for 1k miles, can't really tell much ,
'sound' is just as good as the _&_.Just have to "Wait & See "

NOTICE/ RETRACTION
-Tried to find report,unable to do so...
Disregard any inference that any thing I may have said
concerning K&N air filters,or any other air filter . You can make your own decisions,
I'll stick with the Tru Flow.
Respectfully Submitted,
Stan

Is there an online link to that report?
