I finally pulled the trigger, and got the guts, to order and install an official Mopar Cold Air Intake (77070044). Upon receiving the intake I unpacked the items and laid them out on the work bench to confirm everything was shipped. It came with photograph/written directions that was very easy to understand and follow although there where a few areas that where slightly different than my Challenger.  The first step was to remove the negative battery terminal which was easy enough but when the installation was complete, like and idiot, I had previously closed the trunk so there was no way to open it. This car is completely computer/electronic run so I had to climb in the back of the cab, pull the seat down, crawl through with a flashlight, and pull the emergency trunk cord. Another area of the installation you need to be careful is removing the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor from the old intake as you need to turn it counter clockwise and lift a small tab simultaneously or else you could break it. The little tab isn’t needed in the new intake but it would have been nice for the directions to mention it. Also, once the battery was connected the car flagged all kinds of codes and security warning in the dash and navigation screen. I started the car up and within a few seconds they all went away probably from my key fob authorizing the start. I’m sure this is the car’s self defense against theft. After looking over the engine for loose parts, tools, and letting the car warm up/read the new air flow, I took the Black Beauty our for a run. I could’t really get on the throttle due to the rain but what I could do seemed as though the car responded quicker and you can really hear the air flow especially when revving the engine at a stop. After cruising the neighborhood to get the air sensor set I came home. Interesting when shutting off the engine the intake sounds like it takes one last breath and makes a loud swish sound. I did some research and found that once the car shuts off it doesn’t need anymore air and pushes the leftover air back out which creates this loud swish sound.  Normally with the stock intake this sound is muffled.
