Removed the aftermarket single pipe CAI system that was installed on my recently acquired SRT6 coupe that came with all original parts. Removing and re installing was straightaway. But to my surprise the original is dual CAI. Why replace it? Gary

 

the oem setup is tiny at the radiator support in comparison to the single cai. also the single has a horizontal flow to the t/b were the oem makes 2 90* turns thru the airbox and causes much turbulence. flow #'s prove the single is a much better intake setup and the dual is the best on the market

 

Also, the OEM dual is very very painfully restrictive where it goes into the TB.

 

Well I have two inlets at the radiator support that provides cool air to the inlet runs which I find adequate to handle the air volume and no big air filter in front of the radiator screwing up cooling air. I like it stock. I removed the kn filters and used Mann. gary

 

The factory airbox is way to restrictive and quiet. If you want to make power and like to hear the SC scream, but the single NW back on.

 

I like quiet machines. I ride a 2300cc Triumph that is as quiet as my Crossfire but has 140hp at the rear wheel. All I need. fun machies

 

Well, you will be happy then, as the OEM is uber quiet. Hopefully you will not miss the loss in HP, which it sounds like is not high on the priority list. The SRT is a more than adequate contender in it's stock form. You may want to see if you can find out if it had a custom tune and/or a performance pulley installed. If it had a custom tune, you may want to have the ECU flashed back to stock.

 

Nope, no SC pulley or Euro tune. My family now has four Crossfires and I get to play with all of them. . my Sister in law is looking at a yellow roadster. will it end? I hope not.

 

Wow, that could be a family record for XFire ownership. No better testament than that for a quality vehicle. Congrats, and I hope Sister In Law's deal works out on the Yellow Roadster.

 

yup, I will inspect and advise as the others. too bad no commission. gary
