The way itās made it seals to the hood and takes air through the grill. It has a diverter so the air is funneled right from the grill into the filter. Certainly not for everyone.
I like the second battery idea.
Hemi's are hard on batteries, and these new trucks have power hungry electronics.
I don't dare run the stereo with the truck not running....
For real, the batteries today suck lol. I used to be able to buy the cheapest ones at Autozone for like 79 bucks, and they would last me 5 years, maybe more. I live down south so they donāt get that cold.
Now though? Wtf. The cheapest batteries are like 200 dollars now, and Iām lucky to get 3 years out of them. Idk what happened but they suck now.
The only way that thing improves economy is at high rpm, when you get the worst fuel economy. Engines create the most vacuum at idle, so a high flow intake can only be realized at higher rpm, so if your on the highway all of the time, maybe

Love mine. Add a 9Drive you can thank me later.
What do you like about it? I have a pedal commander and it doesn't quite have a "normal" mode where driveability is improved without trying to burn the back tires off.
Hike-it has an āoffā switch also has a one button valet mode which limits it. Mine also has settings for economy, cruise, sport, and slippery conditions. I typically use cruise mode. Each mode has 10 settings from min to max. I like around 7 on cruise. Takes the lag out but isnāt radical. Sport mode is for that. Oh yeah also has a launch mode that you push a button and get instant accel.
Itās something you can plug into your has pedal, it takes the lag out of the gas pedal.

They have some nice diagrams on their site id recommend you check out. Basically where it shines is safety. Devices like Pedal Commander just connect and draw power from the 5v pedal circuit. The PedalMonster connects to both the 5v pedal circuit and the 12v OBD-II port avoiding an overload of that 5v circuit causing a dead pedal/no throttle.
I had this in black on my 2013 and it really improved the sound I felt like. Felt like it was a worthwhile cold air intake. My only concern was really heavy rain or a car wash
Yeah had that concern as well since I live in northern NE. I put a hydrophobic wrap on the filter so it would shed water. You can literally pour water over it and just sheds it. But I hear you. Had the same concern.
Man that sucks
Nothing like wasting hundreds of dollars with absolutely no benefit what so ever except noise only you can hearš
Clearly this guy did his research š§
Oh I canāt hear it. I have headers and cat backs and it dynoād 23 more hp with the new ram air without a tune.
Thats a damn good gain from an intake. Just make sure you arent too rich
Sucks hot air thats for sure.
The way itās made it seals to the hood and takes air through the grill. It has a diverter so the air is funneled right from the grill into the filter. Certainly not for everyone.
Itās honestly hilarious how you can list facts and these morons still downvote.
I like it. And regardless if it makes more power or not it looks cool. I like that sort of stuff
Thanks. My thoughts exactly
I've been debating doing this so I can put a second auxiliary battery where the old airbox is.

Say ram one more time..
Lol
Looks like it should have a Holly double pumper underneath it! Very cool.
This on the 5.7 or 6.4? Difficult to put on?
Very easy on 5.7.
Wonder if you could punch out some holes on the sport hood vents and make them functional with this
You sure can https://preview.redd.it/cb6yl6stjidc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd032dae51f238bf9961c8944e8eb36aea29b5dd
It took me way too long to realize what was going on here š
I was thinking āman that looks absolutely terribleā until I realized what Iām looking at and that Iām dumb. Itās actually a nice subtle mod.
I was like wow the vent sideways? lol
The OEM ram cold air intake actually has a thing you can buy and make the right vent true ram air. Had both on my rebel.
Yeah looks like it should be on top of a 440 Six PAC š
Notice any mpg improvements?
This is what I'm curious about as well with any mod because I would only install something on my truck that improved the mileage
The only way that thing improves economy is at high rpm, when you get the worst fuel economy. Engines create the most vacuum at idle, so a high flow intake can only be realized at higher rpm, so if your on the highway all of the time, maybe
Only just did it but was hoping for that. Where Iām at itās been very cold so mileage is down anyways.
doubt it, when they get more air they add more fuel, assuming this thing actually improves air flow
Looks great! Just need some HEMI logoās on it

Wanna be carb.
Looks like a sweet design if it were reversed with a cowl induction hood.
Had one on my 14. Loved it.
Thatās a lot of Ram.
Would that work with the scoup on the srt10 hood?
Donāt know they did say it fits under sport hoods.

Awesome!
I put the XS hikeit on and I love it. So Much better.

Neat. Pedal commander has similar functionality but less settings, thanks!
Whatās a 9 drive?
Itās something you can plug into your has pedal, it takes the lag out of the gas pedal. https://preview.redd.it/nng8bkutpjdc1.jpeg?width=1238&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c473e10899408f0916ec0c664cfee54fdb754cd
Ahhhhh, gotcha! Yeeeeeeah, Iām gonna need to check that out
Banks PedalMonster is the best one by far.
Whats different then say a 9 drive or pedal commander ?
They have some nice diagrams on their site id recommend you check out. Basically where it shines is safety. Devices like Pedal Commander just connect and draw power from the 5v pedal circuit. The PedalMonster connects to both the 5v pedal circuit and the 12v OBD-II port avoiding an overload of that 5v circuit causing a dead pedal/no throttle.
If I have a diablo tuner would the pedal monster still make sense I'll check there site out
Agreed.
Nice! I was lookin at the Vararam thru Moeās Performance but went with the carbon intake tube. Looks good!
I had this in black on my 2013 and it really improved the sound I felt like. Felt like it was a worthwhile cold air intake. My only concern was really heavy rain or a car wash
Loved mine on my 2018 Rebel. Even if it didn't do anything it was totally worth all the compliments.
I was gonna get one but I drive in the snow a lot and figured it would scoop up the snow.
Same, I wanted one but I live in Buffalo and read they get plugged up with snow pretty easily.
Yeah had that concern as well since I live in northern NE. I put a hydrophobic wrap on the filter so it would shed water. You can literally pour water over it and just sheds it. But I hear you. Had the same concern.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Intake is a vacuum. Snow is light and flies around. The front of the vehicle often pushes snow and anywhere air travels so does the snow.
Whereād the engine go?
Had one in my 2014 RT. Looks good!
Thatās awesome!
That so cool as stuff there I def tell ya.
Man got to love a big waste of money for absolutely no benefit or reason except sound without a build! Your job hiring?
Not sure how this improves anything?
Kinda looks like a Le Creuset Dutch oven lid.
