Anyone have a list of the tools needed to take the it out of a vehicle at a Pick N Pull?

3.0 = 3.0 Liter engines so look for those and yes Chrysler or dodge

Picked one up a couple days back.
-Will it fit directly onto an ATX throttle body?
-Are the DOHC and SOHC versions different?
-Where do you get the steel piping at?

You don't need the steel piping, but you should be able to find some at a local hardware store.

depends rly

if he has single fan rad + relocated battery the 3.0 doesnt need any mods. or if the battery is placed like the iceman. (this is just going by the countless pics i've seen)

I want it to be just like the one in the picts but about 4-5 inches shorter. I have a DOHC with two fans. I am just curious where I can pick up 2 1/4 '' piping? Home Depot/Ace Hardware is what I am guessing but not sure...

see if your local muffler shop has any scraps lyin around they will give out or sell for cheap ... or usually any hardware store might have the piping.

i did mine with out cutting the tube too.... i also used a aluminum 3inch pipe on it too. stretched to fit over the top... so i could use a regular 3 inch filter i already had...

Good luck finding it there.. their selection of metal piping is horrid..

I got mine on just now.. time to remove the stock air box..

EDIT: Ahh much better..

I put one together last weekend. Spent a little bit more on it but it was fun doing my first mod. Cost about $50.00 total.

I wish I would have taken pics before I got it all in.

spent a little more? That's about what mine cost.. in fact, I think mine was more like $60 for the 3.0 CAI

All the pipe I had to buy and cut and clamps and shit

Was your price including the filter?
