Dynamat..good idea. I have been putting that off for a while after I finished my system but if I get the SRT intake then I would definitely do it. I read that some people were putting something by the heat shield to stop the sound from resonating. Have you ever heard of anything like that?

You wont regret it. If you wanted to go all out you could chrome some the piping for the intake. I didnt because its a stock 300 and didnt want to draw too much attention to it, just clean and subtle

I have seen pictures of bluelex's chrome intake. It looks hot. Do you know if the intake that srt is offering for $475 comes with the race ecu?

It should come with the ECU. I dont think it will work without it and I wouldnt install it without the ECU. Bad things can happen. I would just call SRT and talk to them. THey are a good group of guys.

What I was trying to ask was does it come with the regular ecu or the race ecu? Sorry I wasn't very clear about my question.
