Review on AIRAID 300 348 Performance Intake System by Roderick Reynolds

Installation took about 90 minutes. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably do it in 30 minutes. It's always slow to do things the first time, plus I skipped a few parts so I spent a lot of time running in circles and talking to myself. Luckily, the missing parts were usually in my tool box (nylon, a small screw, two washers, and three zip ties). I deducted a star for that. After adding this CAI, I noticed a noticeable change in the sound of the exhaust. It surprises me. I'm not sure how much horsepower or torque it added, but I'm pretty sure it helped with airflow and I have no doubt it improved performance. I don't have a dynamometer and didn't want to do a 0-60 test so I can't measure it. They claim 12 to 25 hp. It seems a bit steep, but it's possible (I'm adding a new exhaust over the weekend - I think these two things together will help a bit). Well, I don't like this: - The intake air temperature sensor is not working. Don't install it in a pipe like an OEM pipe does. In a normal tube, it is twisted mechanically. In the Airaid hose, you need to put it in the rubber sleeve. In my case it seems like it might just pop out if I hit it. Feels like a very cheap solution. I could have sworn I did it wrong so I called support. I was told that's how it's supposed to be. Definitely a star deduction for that. - I wish they would describe how to disconnect the crankcase hose adapter. The clip broke when I took it off. The bad news is that I couldn't find the retaining clip anywhere. I had to buy a replacement hose. The good news is that it only cost $19. It's not really Airaid's fault, but I wanted to mention it. I was missing the parts needed to connect the heater and AC power lines to the Airaid CAI. It's never fun when you're missing details. I don't blame the manufacturer. It happens. Another thing I would like to know. It turns out that K&N and Airaid are the same company. I found that out when I called support. If I had known, I would have gone to K&N. If I had known about the air temp sensor hack I would have gone with Mopar. Overall, it gives my 2018 Power Wagon 6.4 a nice buzz, but I wish I'd gone with Mopar (this temp sensor hack doesn't really install properly on me).
