Brooks you can order them from your dealer. I paid $330.00 for mine and if it is the same dealer you bought your car from they should give you a 10% discount on parts. When I ordered mine I got it in three days.

its nice huh? i love it! it is mopar or nothing for me, hehe!!! hit the gas - and that front end not only looks like a shark coming straight for you, now, it sounds like it is growling before it swallows! on the "evacuation trip" (that is what i shall call it from now on) i would jump the gas just to hear her growl......

since this is a "certified" MOPAR part, it wont affect my warrenty right?

 

[GoDaddy]

yes and no....it won't completely affect your warranty. however if anything fails that they can confirm happened by your cold air intake....ie. mass water damage or a huge squirrel flying through the filter and getting stuck in your throttle body.

i have never heard of any problems from using aftermarket cai....if you take care of it and clean it often..don't overdue the oil on the filter...you should be golden.

 

[Hemiready]

And that was my question. My mopar cai did not come with oil nor any instructions about oiling and cleaning. Does it need oil and can I use the K&N stuff?

 

[bstowers]

The Mopar CAI should be pre-oiled. I believe you can follow standard K&N cleaning after that.

 

[Billybobs R/T]

I got it at the dealership I work at for $255. I was wondering about the cleaning also. When should it be cleaned? And what do I use to oil it?

 

[GoDaddy]

i will have to look into the cleaning time frame....but i remember something ridiculous like 25,000 or 50,000 miles.....i will look it up tomorrow for sure. but it was something i wasn't going to follow. i was thinking every 12,000 miles....have to give it some thought and see what the guys that have had them in for a year are doing.

If like the K&N, at 15,000 miles it does not really need it but I clean it anyway (other cars, dont have the Mag yet). I was curious about the oil for the Mopar unit as well, even posted a question but never got an answer. The K&N oil is red colored and would ruin the blue look of the Mopar unit. I an guessing Mopar makes an oil or aren't ACCEL filters blue? Maybe they have a correct color oil available.

 

[70gt6]

Yup - Accel has blue filter, maybe they make them for MOPAR.
summitracing has it available $7.88 for a 12 bottle
part # ACC-KK1212

 

[Billybobs R/T]

Thanks 70gt6...How do you go about cleaning it? Hose it off or something? Or just like a vacuum cleaner,beat it against something... :lol:

 

[Raxstone]

You buy the cleaning kit. It's sort of a foaming spray that you spray on, then rinse off after with slow running water. Then let it air dry. After that, spray on some new oil. Then set it on some newspaper overnight. Re-install the next morning. This will help to prevent over-oiling, since excess oil will run off while it sits.

 

[dagummit]

Are the K&N filters pre-oiled? This is the first I have heard of oiling them...

 

[Hemiready]

My wife's K&N was preoiled and you could tell.
My Mopar does not seem to be oily at all nor were there any instructions about oil, cleaning etc.
Maybe I should get some oil and spray this puppy down.

 

[Of The Moonlight]

or maybe it doesnt require oiling at all.

i'd try to find out for sure before i sprayed goop on an expensive filter like that. thats pretty crappy that the kit comes with no info about that. but that also leads me to believe it doesnt need oil.

i could be wrong. its been known to happen.

 

[Billybobs R/T]

I'll have have to ask one our techs at my dealership.

 

[Hemiready]

Thanks Billy. I would appreciate that.
