Where can we order that stuff from? I have been looking for a CAI for my 4.0L R/T

 

[NitroWill]

My guess would be dealers - but Id hope online retailers would sell it too..
Kicker option might be nice if it tied in with the infinity system too..

That ad slick just came to me today via email from Mopar/Kicker. Yes - the Kicker upgrade option will work with any system including aftermarket.

Member AdamC says discounted price is $474.75.. and can seriously do a group buy.

Interesting...My dealer ran the part number and quoted me $359.

He DID say that addnig this MOPAR part would void my warranty.

Oops I should clarify too....talking about the CAI....

 

[KickerNitro]

My dealer quoted about the same. But wait a minute how can putting a factory pushed Mopar upgrade void the warranty? I will check with some DCX higher ups and see what the deal is :shakehead:

Kicker,

I asked the same question and pushed it hard. They said because it's a performance part not normally part of the car.

 

[KickerNitro]

To not honor the factory warranty due to a performance part they sold me is BS..Well...I guess that means I will be saving my old intake to put back on before I take it in for service if I have any problems...:Na_Na_Na_Na:

Kicker, before you rush out and buy one of these, it would be a good idea to ask some of the other members that have already put these type high flow filters on their Nitro what change in fuel economy they have noticed.

I pulled the K&N filter from my 4.0L today because I saw a drop of 2-3 miles per gallon over the last week that I had it installed. It just wasn't worth it for me.

I would like to know what others are seeing on the 3.7L.

I would like to know the same info for those that have purchased the K&N drop-ins for both engines.

 

[KickerNitro]

You Know you are absolutely right! If anyone has any feed back let me know . Honestly I have gotten so high strung on doing stuff to the electronics and interior I thought I'd just jump right in and do some performance mod's also :thk: Maybe I should stick to what I know best until I can do a little more research. I am a male and understand how engines work...but my entire life as long as it turned my altenator for the electronics that has been my #1 concern (oh yeah and getting me from point A to B also)

My gas mileage increased after the K&N went on.

I actually saw a 2-3 mpg increase in fuel mileage after I installed the K&N drop in my 3.7. I wonder why yours dropped. I have been using K&N filters for years and never had drop in mpg. I'm getting about 16-19 mpg since the drop-in was installed.

 

[KickerNitro]

Not to appear to be an idiot here but can someone explain to me the differences/advantages between a CAI and the K&N drop in? they both increase intake air flow correct? but is one style better than the other? is it the additional intake connector tube and shape of the filter part of the difference? Hey I'm an Electronics guy so dont laugh if I'm way off :hah:

 

[warriorbob]

i installed the K&N drop in filter and have sofar seen an increase in milage from 17.5 to 18.3 MPG

they can't void your warranty because you put on a cai. they have to prove that the cai caused the problem there is a law for this. here is a link to it. It is called the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act of 1975.

[warriorbob]

i totally agree they should not be able to void you warranty.............i had an SRT-4 and all you have to do is go to the SRT-4 forum and see how many people had their warranties voided for just about anything.

the big companies have their lawyers to back them and us as the little guy dont have the money or time to fight things.

now i am not saying DCX is going to start to void warranties and the SRT-4 was a unique situation with the warranties...............and i agree we should be able to add bolt on items to our vehicles and not have to worry about not having a warranty because of a certain item, all i am saying is its something to look into and make your decidion on............ remembering that their is a possibility that you may have warranty issues

[05dodgedaytona]

they are not allowed to void the warranty for having aftermarket parts on your car. thats what the magnuson moss warranty act is for. most of the time if a dealer tells you that your warranty is voided for aftermarket parts you can tell them about magnuson warranty act and they will change there attitude.

 

[warriorbob]

every person with an SRT-4 that has had warranty problmes have quoted the magnuson moss act...........and their warranties were still voided, several got lawyers and their warranties were still voided

[05dodgedaytona]

i must be one of the lucky ones then. because i have never had any problemswith aftermarket parts and warranties.

 

[HighVoltageNITRO]

My gas mileage increased after the K&N went on.

Yours was the one I was most curious about. My filter is the large K & N one just like you have.

i installed the K&N drop in filter and have so far seen an increase in mileage from 17.5 to 18.3 MPG

Bob, I have no idea why it made my mileage drop so much. I was doing a "reset all" on the EVIC every day last week to monitor the fuel mileage. On Friday, I ran the A/C most of the day and the fuel mileage was down to 15.3 MPG. Today, again reset EVIC after reinstalling stock filter, now the fuel mileage is back up to 18.7 MPG around town with A/C. I guess it could have something to do with also having the free flow exhaust on mine? I might be willing to try the K & N drop in like you have.

well there is a lot of people with restrictions then.. in the owners manual it states that aftermarket or non-OE parts can void warranty..From my own experience Cars that appear done up get nixed..

adam

Adam, why are you willing to sell us CAI units if you think they will void our warranties? Shouldn't you at least tell us up front they could cause us warranty problems? Essentially, you have volunteered that info. now, but only after the subject was brought up.
