Subject: Re: '97 K&N prices
The correct K&N p/n for the '97 Dakota's is 33-2084 (current Ram
appl.). Summit Racing has got 'em for $42.39 (p/n KNN-332084)
and Jeg's has 'em for $42.99 (p/n 555-33-2084). Neither charges
shipping but they both charge about $4 for handling.
I emailed K&N directly awhile back when I was deciding between
the stock panel replacement or an open element type. John, from
K&N, emailed back stating that the stock replacement on the Ram
was a 8-10 hp gain and the open element FIPK was closer to 18 hp.
Didn't want to guarantee the same results because he claimed
they had not yet tested this on a '97 Dakota. If your area isn't
super strict on emissions (under hood inspections) I would
definitely recommend setting up a FIPK type arrangement. I
couldn't be happier with the results on mine.

Sean:
Thanks for the excellent reply. That was *exactly* the info that I
was looking for. I need to order some parts for my Camaro from
Summit so I'll just throw in the K&N filter for my truck. :^)
Can you describe your FIPK setup to me in a little more detail?
What parts did you buy? Could you "feel" a big difference in
performance after installing your FIPK?
Will the K&N 571501 kit for '92-'95 Dakotas work on our trucks?
Thanks again,
