Default aftermarket air intake systems

has anyone tried Banks or Airraid or any other air intake and filter system. I have a 2012 Rubi, and wonder if there is any noticable power increase. Could use a little more especially above 6000' altitude.

I put on a safarri snorkel and the engine temp dropped a bit but i don't have any power figures. Probably helped but only slightly.
If i want more out i'll bolt on a ripp super charger.
Is this what you were after.

running an airaid in our 2012 and, while it might all be in my head, yeah, i think you get a slight boost.

I know seat of the pants feeling and actual calculated (in a spreadsheet) mileage increased for the 3.8 with an aFe system using the dry filter. Sounds pretty cool when you get on it too. I would guess that with the realistic claim to actual results for the 3.8 they should be close to what they advertise for the 3.6

We've done a bunch of testing with CAI system... we ended up making one, check it out... LINK



We backed up the data on two 2012's

off topic, but I saw RIPP has a CAI for the 3.8, but no dyno results for that. Any chance we might see those coming soon?

heres my volant cai and snorkel combo its easy to install maybe like 2 hours just take your time. also if you do it use your 4 inch hole saw screw the drill in reverse on the hole saw, place it on the hole on the air box, close hood to make your mark then drill, bam easy than using the template paper. heres a pic
