| Legmakers are one of the better or best ones out there. You can get one of the fenderwell intake to get the most of an intake. The SRT intake flows pretty well with a K&N drop in for a 5.7. For the 6.1 the mopar CAI are pretty good. But that fenderwell intake from Legmaker well give you the better feel and performance. Really just depends on how much you want to spend and what you like really when it comes down to it. |

| most cold air intakes will add roughly 8-12 bhp to the engines by allowing for cooler, less restricted air to enter the intake, allowing for better performance. By all means you should get yourself one. I havent heard of Legmaker, however, if you read through some of the Cold Air intakes (CAI for short) threads on this forum you should find a link to a thread on the LX forums where a guy actually tested all the most popular intakes on a dyno. |

So do I, they have never done me wrong..... but there are better options. Until we (other prototype recipients) get the new intake from R2C, I'll still run my Daytona + SRT hybrid intake with a K&N drop in. I like it for what it does.

| I can't wait to get it! The filter on that intake was HUGE! They put a lot of thought into it. Can't wait for the dyno numbers as well. Has anyone looked at or picked up the one they have available for the 3.5 V6.

I've got myself the Big Bully CAI for the 3.5 from 3G, and i really like it... just needs a better filter. |

| You could get a replacement one from R2C, some guys on LX did that or at least Rev.Hammer was offering it to people with the R2C filter.
Here's a post he did a year ago but explains some benefits:
