Product Description

The K&N 57-1546 Cold Air Intake transforms factory restriction into performance breathing by replacing the stock airbox on 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota and 2006-2007 Mitsubishi Raider 4.7 L V8 trucks with a high-flow, low-restriction intake system. The roto-molded HDPE intake tube and oversized, oiled cotton-gauze filter deliver improved volumetric airflow, which can yield measurable gains in horsepower and torque under stock tuning conditions - translating into stronger throttle response, better low- and mid-range power delivery, and a more aggressive engine sound.

A custom heat shield isolates the intake from hot engine-bay air, helping ensure cooler, denser air enters the engine for improved combustion efficiency and reliability under load or heat. The included washable filter offers a long service interval (up to 100,000 miles under normal use), reducing maintenance frequency. Installation is straightforward and fully bolt-on using factory mounting points, typically requiring about an hour with basic hand tools. As a result, the 57-1546 is a practical, performance-oriented upgrade for Dakota and Raider owners seeking reliable gains without sacrificing legality - it's CARB-compliant with EO number D-269-37 and legal for street use in all 50 U.S. states.
