CAI and Jet Stage 2

I've got these parts on order so as soon as they arrive (and I am home) I'll get some pics and post my thoughts on performance. I went with the K&N 63 CAI, still have to decide on the actual CAT-back which will come later.

Stay tuned!

I got the Jet, now I'm just waiting for the CAI to show up. After Christmas I"ll get the Cat-back from Mopar. Pics and hopefully sound after I get everything.

Here are some pics of the CAI install on my 2011 Shock. I forgot to get one of the Jet Stage 2 but folks have seen those, I'll get it later (my wife has the car right now).

The install took right at 2 hours with taking my time. Removing the original air filter housing was easy enough. I thought I would make just a couple of comments on the install on stuff that caught my attention and hence the pics I took.

First, removing the factory air filter housing is not hard but does take quite a bit of force to pull the retaining feet out. I worked it around a bit and finally got them to pull free one at a time. PIC 1

Also, a shot showing the mounting holes for the retaining feet. PIC 2

Here is a shot showing the new intake tube mounted. For the 2011 you will need to enlarge the left most hole for the manifold exhaust to 7/8" and use the larger right angle insert that is supplied. This was a pain but I was finally able to hack it to about 7/8" and get the grommit to fit. PIC 3

And finally a pic showing the completed install! I can definately tell a difference with the CAI and JS2 installed. I can't wait to hear/feel the difference when the CAT is in. PIC 4

Thanks for the pictures! Sounds great doesn't it?

Once I get the CAT installed I'll try to get a sound clip to post.

That would be great since several have asked me to do that with my install, but was not sure how to perform that.

CAT-back is on order, Woohoo! Assuming it is in stock it should be here first half of next week (crossing fingers). I went with the Mopar unit.

Here are the pics of the Jet Stage 2 chip installed. As others have said just be sure you press it in firmly until it clicks and then make sure to press the whole thing into the control unit firmly as well.
