Hey everyone...I'm pretty new to this site (as you can probably tell haha) and I am looking to get a nice intake kit for my 05 srt6. I have read nearly every thread on here about intakes and some people talk up K&N and some talk it down. Which brand should I go with? I hear a lot about needswings but I don't know much about them. What do you all recommend as some of the top of the line cold air intake kits? Also I tried searching the website but I had a hard time finding an actual "How to: Install a cold air intake" Does anyone have a website or a thread about installing one? Thanks to any help

 

punch in, CAI install into the search feature...go thru all the threads concerning the cai...its good reading....Tom2112 did a review last yr on it...read that one as well...you can do the single or pony up for the dual...either will give you nice power...caution! Once you do your first mod, well, you are hooked and more mods will have to happen....

 

ok I will search that now. Do you have a preference for intake companies? and yea I imagine more mods will be soon to come haha thanks!!!

 

Well, as you can see in my sig...I do have a preference...but we have very good vendors on here...choose wisely my friend...there are others out there...

 

ok so how about ordering? Where should I order from? I see TVT Design on here, can you order through that member? Or for needswings is there a website I use or what?

 

Needswings is a stand alone vendor... www.needswings.com as well as TVT Design, there is EuroCharged as well...just need to read and learn before you jump...there are thread after thread about all the mods on here...everybody has an opinion on which direction you should go...I just happen to like the Needswings...you can do an SLk55 dual air as well...MB parts work...good luck...

 

oh believe me I've read just about every thread under "CAI" and all intake posts. I'm just ignorant to all the brands and some of the abbreviations used haha. I just like getting opinions from people that actually have them installed. So did you order from needswings.com?

 

Rob at Needswings is an excellent fellow to do business with.
You can order directly from his website: Performance auto parts & aftermarket auto accessories for your car, specializing SRT4, Crossfire SRT6, SLK32, C32 AMG, VR-4
or PM him from this forum. Once purchased, the CAI will come with step-by-step installation instructions in .pdf format on a CD. Just print out the instructions & voila', you're good to go! The install, even for an all-thumbs guy like myself, was a snap & took about an hour of my time.

That being said, the other CAI providers also have excellent products - the choice is entirely up to you!

 

awesome! thanks for the help. One more questions, what tools would I need? I have pretty basic tools and I'm worried that I might need a complex tool or something?

 

should look into getting the dual setup (look in the "group buys" section of the forum.

 

There's a tool list included with the instructions BUT, if I can remember correctly, nothing out of ordinary except perhaps a Torx wrench.
Trust me, Hersh - it's a snap!

 

ok thanks for the info, time to order I guess haha

 

just re did my dual set up, after installing my catch can...dual set up will require more work, but everything is included in the kit...it didn't require any work for me, as the owner, Rob, himself did my install while at Woodward Dream Cruise...dang, forgot to have him sign his autograph...LOL>>>>>>
