Question Mopar Cai

Does anyone know why this will not fit my 2011 3.7?

2007-2009 DODGE NITRO COLD AIR INTAKE 3.7L | eBay

It reads 2007 - 2009, but I am unaware of any modifications made to the 3.7 over the years. I emailed the seller, a Dodge dealer in NC, and he said it would not work, and Mopar does not make one for the 2011.

I realize the picture is wrong. It appears to be a Neon/Caliber SRT4, but this should have nothing to do with the fact that it won't fit.

Full Description

What's so great about cold air intakes? Cold air is much denser than hot, humid air and holds more oxygen. More oxygen going into an engine equals more combustion, thus more power. The Mopar Cold Air Intake System increases airflow by as much as 20%, boosting torque up to ten lbs., and power by nearly ten horsepower. All of this while improving fuel economy (one to two mpg depending on driving style). Air filters are high-flow and low-restriction, offer better throttle response and increased filtration and horsepower. Filters are
made of a new dry media material which is washable and reusable. Do not oil dry media filters.

Hi Rick,

Moparsupercenter? I have never been to this site. Thanks. I just looked at the listing on ebay, same part number 77060080. As mentioned, the seller is a Dodge dealer and he says it definitely NOT fit my 2011! Now, I'm really confused.

I don't know of many parts for the NITRO that don't fit for the whole production run of five years of 2007-2012! Exceptions are fog light replacement bulbs and the like. I do remember someone that had to extend some sensor wire to install a CAI on one of the engines but the unit fit! Let us know how it all works out for you, but I don't see any problems and I have never seen any other MOPAR part numbers for CAI as posted here:

The picture you are posting is definitely different than the one on ebay. When I am ready to purchase, I will refer to this thread and let you know how I make out. Thanks for your help.
