I have the system in question installed on my R/T. Do not order
anything but the airbox. The air cleaner can they give you is a
POS. Get the box from them and then get an Edelbrock drop base
PN-1221 can and spacer PN-8093. This will give you more clearance
than their flat base and is of much better quality. They're are a
few other nit-picky items you can do to make it fit better, but
this is the best starting point. If you really want the flat base
they offer... you can have mine real cheap.
