Intense Performance is the 'budget' air intake system if you don't want to build your own.

I have a 4.7L but this is an interesting response I got from a major manufacturer of intake systems that are used on Dakotas. I read it as the stocl system is pretty effiecient and you are basically wasting your money trying to modify it for the street.
Artie,
Unless you plan on doing in excess of 200mph you really don't do any measurable
"forcing" of air into the intake system. There is no difference in the
performance of either the front facing inlet as used on the 98-99 intakes or the
fender inlet of the 2000+ models. With the 98-99 version there aren't the AC
lines that get in the way, but for the 2000+ models you would have to contend
with getting through them to get out the front. Also, there is actually quite a
bit of airflow into the inner fender coming from back at the base of the
windshield which is also a high pressure area.

drop in will work fine. I used the airaid setup,
kinda cool cause it has a heat shield. but its
pretty much a cone filter and heat shield that
replaces the stock air filter & housing. the
airhat remains intact. I tried the homebrewed
route with 3" ABS running directly to the TB
and no performance differences whatsoever.

MOPARornoCAR, hard to say since the 5.9's respond diferently to mods then the 4.7 does. I know a friend of mine had put the K&N kit on his 5.9 RAM a few years ago and his truck noticed a definite increase in performance and gas mileage. Good luck.
