Switching back to OEM Air Intake

Lost these two bolts. I’d buy a
box of assorted metric flanged bolts off Amazon but would rather go to Home Depot and buy just two bolts today after work.

Google and a Mopar parts website leads me to believe its an M6 x 1.0 bolt.

Seems reasonable based on taking mine apart.

Just curious as to why you’re switching back, and from what? I’ve been contemplating putting in a S&B intake, but have mixed feelings about the benefits…

The intake I have on now will not pass visual inspection in CA.

HA good ol karen's and their visual bs for inspection regarding CARB certifications. NY started something similar a few years ago, and they added tint to the inspection too. Shit's been getting out of hand.

There is a YouTube video wherein a guy compares the stock intake against the S&B, and gets noticeably worse performance. It's a two-part video and the second part is the actual dyno video with results.

Think that's bad? Here in the Central region of the Democratic People's Republic of Marylandstan we have to do "emissions tests" at $30 a pop every other year. They plug a scanner into your OBD2 port to tell you the same thing the OBD2 system would tell you for free.

Emissions testing is nothing but a cash grab by the state masquerading as protecting the environment, and only for those of us in the I95 Corridor. Live on the Shore or Appalachian foothills? No need, not required. I hate this place so much.

Is the Bay Area different that rest of the state? My 2018 didn't need smog inspection until this year. Unless you're selling it.
