Hey guys,
I installed the Airaid today. Very easy to install. Hardest part is removing
the old airbox. The Airaid is quite a quality piece. Very good construction.
As for performance, it is about as expected and not as good as hoped.
Midrange throttle response is quite improved. And from 2500 on up, there is a
nice throaty sound. Feels like it has more midrange horsepower too. After I
drove it, I checked under the hood to feel how warm the intake got. Very
hot!! The filter was very hot too. So I wonder how much cold air is really
going into the motor. I wouldn't mind comparing it to Antonio De Anda's (from
the Durango mailing list) system. His system has the filter further away from
the exhaust manifold and uses aluminum tubing all the way up. I seriously
doubt there is a noticeable difference between the two.
All in all, not bad for $170. The sound is not quite as loud/throaty as I had
hoped but the performance is as expected. Anybody have a problem with these
intakes making the motor run lean?
