I got the Airaid CAI on mine, simple install make use of the factory air box and seal to the hood of the car, so it dose isolate the intake air from the engine heat. Uses the factory air tub, but its such a short distance it will not have much effect.I am undecided about what intake to purchase !!! Should I get the K&N CAI or should I go for the Mopar CAI ????
save your money and put some duels on it...keep your box setup and drop in a k & n airfilter....then jack that thing up and yank out the intake silencer....made a big differance in mine.....and it sounds like an old school quadrajet.......next thing im going to try is to hook up some tubing from the hole left by the intake silencer to the front grill....******* ram air......should workI am undecided about what intake to purchase !!!

(are you referring to yanking out the air intake resonator? Is that what it's called in my crash estimating software??--Will yanking it out result in getting more dirt in the aircleaner element??save your money and put some duels on it...keep your box setup and drop in a k & n airfilter....then jack that thing up and yank out the intake silencer....made a big differance in mine.....and it sounds like an old school quadrajet.......next thing im going to try is to hook up some tubing from the hole left by the intake silencer to the front grill....******* ram air......should work
SRT box won't fit, also the only diff between the SRT and R/T box is the factory cut away a chucnk from the forward face. Easy mod.Get you a SRT factory intake, it works a lot better than the ones on the RT's. You can get one from some one on here that has changed thiers out. Good Luck! Ronnie
i added an RT duel exaust to mine and when i pulled the silencer i did notice a slight gain in power and sound. notice i said slight....but hey slight is better than noneSRT box won't fit, also the only diff between the SRT and R/T box is the factory cut away a chucnk from the forward face.

I would not worry about extra dirt in the air filter, the hole in the feder well is high and protected by a shield, the helmholtz resonation chamber after it does its dance picks up air in near the same location just below the fender well hole. IMO the resonation chamber does not hurt HP, and when removed does not add much to the sound, but hey it is a free mod.
Hay we talking SE here. SRT ot R/T will not mount to the SE.Get you a SRT factory intake, it works a lot better than the ones on the RT's. You can get one from some one on here that has changed thiers out. Good Luck! Ronnie
Heat is a bad thing. ALU is a great conductor of heat. that what most heat sinks are in electronics.I'm guessing absorbing heat caused by the aluminum tube on the intake is a bad thing ???
- everyone thanks for all the helpful information I am really really taking all your advice in consideration in regards to how I Ho about with my SE challenger, again thanks you guys are the best !
Correct. Cooler air is denser which results in more power. Aluminum is a better conductor of heat than plastic so may tend to transfer heat from the engine compartment to the air inside - not a good thing.I'm guessing absorbing heat caused by the aluminum tube on the intake is a bad thing ???
