Thoughts on Air intakes?

Have you installed one?. Which one have you installed

Curious to see which one increases supercharger whine. I know for my HC Challenger, Legmaker intake changed everything up. It was worth the 5 month wait.

Cornerstone Performance!! Drops IAT 25* and added 15hp and lots of whine.

I think this system is designed nicely, but needs a more durable solution for the hood intake portion. Overall, it looks great and appears that it will hold up well, but this foam seems like it would deteriorate quickly. There's got to be a better solution...

I’ll let you know after a bunch of miles.

I’m leaning AFE or S&B.

I like the S&B for the thorough design, less “fail” points, price and single filter but like the AFE for the build quality, looks and the fact you can use the factory “Rex eating raptor” cover without modifying it.

Can’t go wrong with either but I haven’t made a decision yet. I’m waiting until total break in before adding any performance mods (prob not necessary but that’s what I’m doing).

I just installed the AFE last week. Definitely notice more whine... but when my wife complained about "what's that noise", I knew that the goal had been achieved

AFE Momentum GT here. Definitely noticed the whine afterwards. If it doesn't work with the Whipple I'll have one for sale

I installed the S&B. I love it. The supercharge whine is very noticeable. I have the Borla Swichfire exhaust also installed which drowned out the supercharge whine until I add this CAI.

Random... in the S&B photo why is the window washer fluid reservoir visible? Never seen that before.

From what I remember, seems like that’s the relocation area once you put the Brawler Fab behind the grille light setup in place.

Running bwoody for now in desert winter. Whine is ear piercing. Almost too loud which I like. Also have s&b for summer months, whine not as loud but definitely louder that stock.

I ordered the S&B. With a little modification, you can keep the Trex shroud. I’ll find out Wednesday when I get it.
I don’t think you can go wrong with AFE or S&B

I have the S&B intake. It’s great and sounds great. The aFe and s&b probably won’t sound as good as the cold air intakes like bwoody but are great if you are off-roading

Agreed, I thought that was pretty MickeyMouse and for me, cost them a lot of credibility and I removed the product from my short list.

Did you order directly from S&B in order to keep the factory shroud?

I have Brawler Fab’s kit, and yes thats the relocation area for the windshield fluid reservoir.
