- I found a great deal on an aftermarket Ram Air hood intake kit for my 2017 RAM Sport. I installed the Mopar Cold Air Intake a few years back and wanted to make it fully functional by opening the hood scoop and connecting it to the CAI. Mopar wanted almost $400 for their kit, while I was able to find another kit on Amazon (link below) for much cheaper. I was skeptical of the quality of this kit, "you get what you pay for," but the fit and finish turned out amazing, and very satisfied. Hope you enjoy the video, leave me any questions or comments, and consider a like or subscribe if the video helped.

Mine just showed up today. Cant wait to install it tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It was very helpful!
Sure hope your install goes as smooth as mine did! Good luck with it.
Very cool, thanks for sharing 👍
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I put functioning vents in my 13 R/T challenger. it helps with heat in the engine bay kind of wish they would have worked like your but still cool. great video sir !
Sounds like a good idea, thanks for the comment!
Yes, the R/T scoops never worked. Only the Classic and SRT worked. I also have a 2010 R/T the real scoops I added. My Classic had working scoops factory. Both the cars were bought new and both have had major problems.
Great vid. Just watched and I'm intrigued. I have a '16 Sport and the previous owner had installed a K&N CAI and was wondering if any of the aftermarket guys have a ram intake kit or if Id have to invest in the Mopar CAI in order to have a functioning ram air intake?
I haven't seen any other ram air kits out there, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. In my searches, I've only found the Mopar one and then the one I used in this video. You might could use the one I got and customize it to work based on your setup. Hope you figure it out. Thanks for watching!
How does it do in the rain ? Great video. Plan on getting one myself.
Thanks for checking it out, so far so good in the rain. I've driven it several times in rain and sprayed water in it when washing and filter stays dry. Very happy with it still! Good luck with install if you go that route.
Did you ever do anything with that spacer?
Hey, yes! I got a stack of washers that were roughly the same diameter as the spacer and was able to adjust how many I used to get the height just where I needed it. Worked perfect, seals tight and haven't had any trouble. I also wrapped some tape around them once I had it right so they wouldn't vibrate or make any noise. Thanks for watching.
Looking at this myself, any issues with it?
So far so good. I only had the one small issue with the spacer in the kit (that I described in the video), but fixed it with some washers. Otherwise, everything is great. Fit and finish is great and still looks perfect. I drove it in the pouring rain, got home and checked the filter and everything was dry, so that's a plus. I'd do it again for sure. Good luck, hope it works out for you if you go that route!
Have you noticed any mpg difference?
Hey! Maybe slightly better on longer trips. I do a lot of short, around town type trips, so my MPG is not that great to begin with. I'm still happy I did it though. Thanks for watching!
What did you end up doing for the spacer?
@@MrDwaynePoff hey there, just slowly added washers until I got it to where it needed to be. Wrapped a piece of electrical tape around it to keep it from rattling. Seems to be holding up well. Thanks for watching.
There is supposed to be a 3rd tab in the middle that’s about an inch long. Your must have broke off
Interesting, I didn't notice anything. If that's the case, thankfully everything is still holding together just fine and in place, looks like factory still and hasn't come loose. Thanks for watching!
So this is only a solo kit for one side only? Other side remains fake? Kind of pointless
I see your point, and it would be nice for someone to make a custom kit that uses both sides and makes them functional. This is just to make at least one work like they should have from factory in my opinion and feed fresh air into the mopar cold air intake. It does do that nicely and this kit is waaaay cheaper than what Mopar charges. Thanks for watching!!
@@RaymondLamb I agree the price is definitely great, you did a beautiful job and it functions well, it would just bother me to have one open vent and one closed vent, maybe even if they had just an open vent that didn't go anywhere on the other side that would be acceptable, at least it would blow down into the engine compartment.
