I was wondering what intake I should get for my new 5.0.

Airraid or K&N or any other brands that people recommend?

http://www.airaid.com/ProductSearch.aspx

What is the difference between them?

Looking for hp and torque gain not towing just speed wise and better mpg.

Airaid 400-239 on my 2011 XLT 3.7L:

Aside from the improved overall sound, I am seeing a surprising jump in MPG at nearly 2mpg more. I'll keep an eye on that as this is only based on half a tank. But with my daily drive of 60 miles with a lot of stop and go highway traffic it would be great if that's what it is.

Nice I am thinking one of these for my 5.0. I have heard great things, higher gains then K&N for this model and better mileage. Can anyone back that up?

Ummmm as posted before...

I removed mine completely. I did not like the sound (to loud) and did not like losing MPG. My custom tunes from 5Star gave me the increased HP and Torque I wanted and increased my MPG. The CAI lost 1MPG or more so its now gone and the stock filter is back on and I am happy.

Anyone have a link or source for a cold air ram hood... I saw one around town the other day and it looked sick.... the entire vent at the front is channeled out to the intake box and works best with the airaide CAI, I think ..... saw it online somewhere but cant find it now, was around $900
