Hey John -
I have a '98 R/T CC . After you get it set up on your truck , let me know
how much for the pre-bent tubing plus shipping and how you secured the tube .
I would guess that you could adhere a small piece of aluminum strapping to
the end and atatch it to the same hole where the factory air box was
attatched with a nylon screw .
Will you be routing yours to the hole in the fender , or thru the splash
guard next to the radiator ?
Keep me posted !
