I just did this mod in 10 minutes time. Thanks kd4crs.
Total cost for the Spectre duct (8741), K&N filter (33-2287), and the rubber downspout connector was ~$73.00.

Did mine 2 days ago, but instead of part #23544 used #23564 (they had it in the wrong box). Got home realized mistake. Mine was abs and thinner. Tried it anyways, and works fine. Also should not have to worry about fold over from suction.

I want to make sure I have this right before I go run to Lowe's...

All I need for the Spectre version of the mod is the Spectre duct "kit" and the rubber downspout connector?

No other glues, clamps, etc.?

TIA

You got it, that is it. That is all I am running now. No glue, no clamps, no grinding, cutting, sanding, or drilling.

Oh yeah, no painting, either. Unless you just want to.

Just completed. It really is a joke how easy it is to do with the Spectre tubing.

How far should i push the Spectre tubing into the downspout connector\intake tube? Does it matter?

I have an Edge Evo but it is currently set to the stock tune for the computer to "re-learn" (after power reset of course). How long should I wait before switching to one of the tunes?

I pushed my tubing in just far enough to compress the bellow section an inch or so. That way it pushes the connector into the fender intake hole firmly.

I just completed this mod and noticed an immediate improvement in my trucks response from idle. I used to have a noticeable hesitation as right before the shift points to 2nd and 3rd but not now. I almost spun the tires when I took off from a stop the first time after the mod. I always had to go light on the throttle anyway but now there is no delay, she just wants to wind up....lol.

Question Spectre intake kit

I was wondering since the inside of the Spectre tubing was convoluted wouldn't that make the airflow more turbulent or does it really matter?

I did the second version of this mod today with the rubber downspot adapter. What a difference to the throttle response!

While these may be a litle dark, This is the 1960's style hemi ram air intake I built. Iused the oem manifold and incorpoated the inlet tube into it. Th inlet sits just above the radiator shroud so it actually gets 100% cold air in a ram application.
