 Subject: Airaid intake for $179? good or bad?
IP: Logged
Message:
i checked at styling concepts by my house and they said i could get a Airraid cold air intake for $179. is that a good price for an airraid? I have a 2001 v6 w/ a flowmaster 40 series dleta flow muffler. i have heard that Airraid intakes are not good at all. is this true? is there a better system for the 3.9? what kind and how much if you guys know. thanks.

I personally have a airaid aystem for my 00' 3.9
v-6. i love it. i get a nice growl around 3k rpm.
i got mine from truckperformance for $150
including shipping. 4wheelparts.com is having a
sale right now and they are offering free shipping
so you can check them out. i have no complaints
about my airaid.

don't get airaid. the 5.2/5.9 K&N is better and it fits 3.9s

Jason,
Before you go and order any intake off ebay, concider this, where do you live, if you live in hot places (ie. Las Vegas, Death Valley or places that get hot as hell) dont get an PVC made one it will melt. i know from Experiance. check out Bernds stuff off of www.speedtweaks.net
Bernd by the way i think i got an order comming your way for a K&N intake.
Catch me come later!!

I have the Airaid, made a difference. Does utilize factory TB hat and accordian tube. Don't think either makes much difference on a V6. Maybe on a professional drag truck. I am going to replace the hat and tube but plan on keeping the Airaid.

hey darn 4-banger is the I4 dakota as slow as i imagine it to be?? cause my V6 isnt much of a performer...i cant imagine what an I4 would be like. its like 120 hp for 3500. not a good ratio. 175 for 4200 isnt great either but geez...just wondering. airaid sux...hehehe literally and figurativly...i think the K&N kit must add much more power. i have to get an e-bay account so i can start selling stuff and use the money to buy stuff for my truck.

I just ordered my airaid last night. $182 including tax/s&h. How hard is it to install. I have a 99 3.9 4x4. Truckperformance.com says 8-10 HP gain. I will put exhaust on next week which I hope will give me another 10 HP. I would like to know if intake and exhaust has increased the MPG for anyone. I would like to improve on 15 MPG.
