Looks are one issue. Any performance difference, real, perceived, or otherwise?
Thanks!

I’ll take that picture after work todayI'm sure the engineers thought of water and snow getting into/blocking the vent if it was an open one. But still, why drill hood to put a fake vent?
I'm wondering if it plays some role we are not aware of...maybe helps direct flow within the hood?
Can you post a picture of what it looks like inside the hood?
That sucks, i was hoping it was a screen and sealed to the factory airbox. Could get a nice ram air affect. It still looks cool though.The “vent” is fake, sadly.....however it allows for the snorkel to integrate with it if I get that at a later point. I may decide to open up the spaces between the honeycomb and make it functional but I haven’t decided yet..
Noise increase isn’t that noticeable but I do have a muffler delete so maybe can’t hear it over the exhaust.That sucks, i was hoping it was a screen and sealed to the factory airbox. Could get a nice ram air affect. It still looks cool though.
Good mod for the aftermarket to come out with. A ram air conversion kit for the mopar air box. Make it happen guys!
Did you notice any noise increase or is it still quiet? Is the entire air box swapped out or just the top and tubing?
Sorry for all the questions, i was considering getting this and there is not a lot of info on it.
No matter the exhaust tone, the intake should add significant deep tone(that of course is if the unit actually allows for MORE air intake).Noise increase isn’t that noticeable but I do have a muffler delete so maybe can’t hear it over the exhaust.
The whole box is swapped out.
I’d love for the aftermarket to come up with a replacement insert to make it a true CAI.
lol mines in my maintenance binder. Yeah, I’m that anal.Omg I have my window sticker posted in my garage too
That’s the tubing I put in to prevent small rocks getting trapped between the fender and the flare - spotted it was loose last night and tucked it back in. Appreciate you watching out for me though .Hey, Bikini, as long as people are noticing little details in your pictures (like the window sticker), in your second picture it looks like a part of your hood latch is hanging out from the mechanism. This is the latch right in front of the CAI "portal" in the hood. Hope something didn't happen during the CAI installation!

I would suggest a K&N filter instead of the stock(see attached).
That's what kinda sucks now about cutting into your hood...kinda stuck with that one.
Also, on the hood insert...try just drilling ÂĽ" holes in the mesh in between the cross-sections. dont remove to much material as to help leave some air resistance and not allow to much outside element to enter.
