Hi Bill, It's an oiled cotton and gauze filter so it should be washable.

Hi Bill, The only concern should be when wading through deep water. If you don't submerge the inlet, you should be ok. A few drop of water entering the engine at a time won't hydro-lock it.

Hi, I would expect around a 10 HP increase or an extra 1-3 MPG depending on your driving style. Drive with a heavy foot and you'll get the HP gains, drive with a light foot and you'll see a MPG increase.

Hi, That's great to hear! You probably picked up 10-12 hp just by bolting on the intake.

Hi, You'll see an increase of 8-10 hp at the max, and an increase in mpg's if you don't use the fore mentioned 8-10 hp. Any gains in fuel economy depend on driving with a very light right foot or cruise control.

Hi Bob, CARB stands for California Air Resources Board. This is an emissions standard that's started in California (surprise) and has spread to several states to cut down on air pollution. A part that has been CARB certified will have either a stamping, metal tag, or sticker with an identifying serial number, can be used on public roads and will be smog legal in all 50 states.

Hi, It look like 4" to me. The tubing size is going to be big enough to increase power but not so big that you lose low end torque.

Hi, Both kits will make a difference in the tone of your engine as they eliminate factory sound deadening baffles. The main differences between the products are the flow characteristics and quality. Having a larger-than-stock intake tube doesn't ensure noticeable gains in power. Spectre uses a larger tube to boost flow and while this works to build power, other airflow effects are ignored so the total gains won't be as high as a refined kit. A Spectre Kit is great as an affordable option to expensive kits but may not have the fit & finish and durability that some drivers demand. K&N offers high-end kit with precision welds (metal tube) and fit like your factory tube. Their nylon tube intakes are molded to not only take advantage of increased intake flow (more air, more power), but intake velocity (better mixing of air and fuel through swirl effects), resulting in greater power gains.

Hi, While Autozone may offer performance parts in California, some of them are "for offroad use only" and have not been CARB certified. So, in a nutshell, you can use the intake on a racetrack in California but not on the street. The accessories that we offer are clearly labeled "CARB legal"are for offroad use only. If you still need to smog your car, consider one of these intakes: http://www.autoanything.com/air-intakes/61A2052A0A0.aspx

Hello. The intake and throttle body spacer are not meant to be used together, they are both designed to be used with the other original parts. People have purchased both in the past and received the benefits of both, which is huge! I would recommend trying it and if one doesn’t fit it can be returned. Thank you for your question.

In regards to your 2007 Dodge Ram, adding an air intake will assist in saving gas, if driven normally like it was driven before the intake was installed. The idea of an air intake is to add more air volume into the motor to boost motor efficiency. To further aid in efficiency, it is also recommended to add an exhaust to relieve the extra air that was brought into the motor, for example, more air in, more air out. MPG gains are minimal, roughly in the range of 1-4 miles per gallon, (depending on conditions) but the gain is dependent on driving style. If you install the air intake and the exhaust, and drive normally, then you will see those gains. Most people will add the air intake and the exhaust and then realize they have a bit more power under their foot and give a little more gas, if that happens, there goes your gas savings.

Not only is a performance air intake one of the most essential upgrades to your vehicle, it happens to be one of the easiest additions to install. With little more than a common socket set, a couple of screwdrivers and half an hour's time, you can have your new air intake in place and ready to roar. We do not have an installation video for this product, however detailed instructions are included with every intake kit. These instructions go through the simple process of removing your stock intake system (including the tube and air box), and installing the new air intake in just a few minutes to stock mounting positions. No cutting, drilling or other modifications are required. What you do with your limiting stock intake next is, well, up to you.

Hi John, that depends on your vehicle. Just select your vehicle, then your filter type and intake color and it will tell you if that particular model is exempt or not.

Fuel economy testing and mileage claims are a tricky business. A lot of exaggerated claims are made in the marketplace by products claiming to improve gas mileage. Spectre makes no general fuel economy claims, however we encourage you to try one for yourself. Keeping restriction as low as possible can be an important tool, among others, for maintaining high mileage. You will sacrifice fuel economy the more aggressively you drive regardless of whether or not you install an intake.

If you drive like a maniac, then sure but it will definately be better than your intake now. On my 97 Tahoe, it even gave it a stronger sound as well. After about two weeks I noticed I get much better mileage now.

Most aftermarket cold air intakes are made for "wet" filters such as the one included. They are easy to clean and if done proerly need cleaned around one a year depending on the dust in your area. I dont know the part number for the solvent but you can buy it at any parts dealer in your town. Also, your truck should have had a "Vortec" intake when it was new. The OEM filter should also fit on the cold air intake as does my 99.
