Just wondering if [email protected] has come out with an air filter for the Magnum SRT-8??? I usually go with the [email protected] 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 :

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 [email protected] filter for the Magnum SRT-8. Strange huh????
ok, my compan is a top ten dealer for k+n, i knwo they are out, here are thepart numbers for a 06 srt8 magnum #332295 is the drop in element,571542 s the fipk air intake kit , 631114 is the aircharger kit, a differnt full air intkae kit, according to k and n both of those intka make 21.09 hp. hope that helps

The air filters are all the same....even for the 5.7's:fing02:
.............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.

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,

I have posted a retraction the on air filter post I did ( listed above).
I would not want to cause any undue confusion towards any certain
product without facts to do so.

I posted questions regarding the KW filters and CAI about 3 weeks ago. You can probably search and find it.
Responses discouraged me from getting either product. One responder stated that the KW filter did slightly increase gas milage with increased air flow (less restricted than stock filter), but added that it allows too many particles in and does not filter very well, thus potentially effecting many aspects of engine performance, especially related to longevity.
The cold air intake (CAI) that KW claims 21+ hp (is that on the 5.7 I believe?), also responders stated that the KW claims are not really backed up with real world, engine specific dynos. That the claims are somewhat exagerrated and that there are issue with the CAI intaking H2O on wet streets etc.
It seemed the one issue that most responders agreed upon was there is increased sound, more "muscle" sound, especially with the CAI.
I have not ruled out either product, but at this time, I am biding my time. Dont want dirty oil and particles floating around the engine as related with the KW air filter, and certainly dont want water intake into the CAI impacting engine performance.
Good luck men and ladies!

rule of thumb
a basic when considering any filter is if it flows more then it simply cannot filter as good!
K&N is not a bad filter, just not as good as some finer paper elements. Their claims about RWHP are just about junk, though. Most members here have read the data. When actually compared on a dyno they are not really any better on our cars.
If you like that roar, get an intake setup! Just don't get noise confused with speed!

I put the Aircharger on last weekend and it appears the throttle response seems quicker and it seems easier to kick-down than before. I also feel more wheel spin with the same pedal pressure from stops. 
It may not provide the claimed 21.09HP, perhaps a little less HP but it can be a fun thing to play with. And having fun with your HEMI is a good thing to have else we would all be driving Taurus's or Malibu's.
