How do one keep those pesky bugs and other debris from getting into the headlight intake? Is there a filter inside the tube that keeps things clean for the supercharger? I'm really asking because its one of the first things I thought about being from san Antonio and surviving butterfly season.

It's got an air filter box. I was wondering about water getting in...if air can get in the. So can water.

Not going to get enough water in there to make a difference, unless you try to cross a stream!

...or birds getting sucked in like a jet engine

The CAI box is open on the bottom, you could pour a 5 gallon bucket of water in it and it would just run out the bottom. And it could snort a bird in that parking lamp hole and all it would do is hit the filter in the airbox.

I figured there has to be something blocking objects from getting supercharged. I just haven't seen much on the headlight intake other than people saying its there. I hope Mopar comes out with a system for the others so I can modify it onto my 392 scat pack .

Dodge engineers surely tested all this.

Florida... Love bug season.

pssst. whats the expected gas mileage estimates? Haven't seen those yet. Not that any of us really care that much about that, but its another question about the hc I haven't seen.

I think I read where one test group stated they were getting 8 MPG when they were doing the thrash run. lol

 

[Roody]

I heard 22 MPG highway

 

[Lord Warlock]

22 highway would be acceptable, its what I average with my RT auto. Not sure I want to go down to 10 in the city, I would expect crappy numbers while making any type of runs with it. I'm used to watching the gauge drop fast if flooring the 440 in the old car.

I get to deal with lovebugs here in florida, I've never even seen one stuck on the air filter of mine, with an open TA hood, would have to run thru a sustained swarm to get a few in the intake.

I'd be worried about small children being sucked into the intake.

So far word is HC gets 14/21 auto... and likely 13/19 manual since the Gas Guzzler tax is higher on the manual...
