So does the MBRP Rock Crawler exhaust work on a 2012? I didn't see any of their systems that included the 2012.

drop in filters might change the sound but it's hard to notice the power difference.

to notice a big difference we need :
CAI
cat back
and most important a performance chip that will shift your HP to 300+

and whoever says that he has enough power , what about adding big wheels and heavy bumpers with winch. what will happen?

Just did my grill for my 2012 JKU ordered a stainless steel mesh from pegusus racing I primered it rattle can bed lined it then shot a sealant/protectant lets see how it holds up lol. I used zip ties and zip tie blocks to hold it in place but I did not use the sticker from the bottom part of the zip tie block I used JB weld to glue it on

Im thinking about trying this. Anyone try the throttle body yet?

Everything under 60 bucks if I remember. The mesh was like 25-30 from pegasus racing. Compared to what they sell online for the JK grill I've seen $300.00.

Btw just search grill mod in these forums and cheaper alternatives than my stainless steel. I guess for me I like to have more piece of mind.. I'm leaving for a Road trip in a month that consists of a 8 hour round trip drive with my jk, let's see if all the coatings will hold *crosses fingers*

Anybody know if any company makes a snap in setup for the grille openings that are plastic and have the mesh?
Or a setup that goes in behind the grille in plastic....

I know Rugged Ridge makes a snap in setup, but I don't believe they have the mesh???

No drive train mods yet. Just new BS Dueler A/Ts; KC Hilights off road lights, and a Gobi Stealth Rack (Which I love!)

So let me ask you guys... from my knowledge of modern sports cars any upgrades ie. airflow, like exhaust and intake made need to be properly associated with ECU tuning. Most modern day ECU's self adjust and are always re-learning. If you do these airflow modifications you will initially see an increase in power but the ECU will re-adjust essentially undoing the benefit's. I know this was the case with my Lotus (VVT Engine) which had an aggressive ECU undo changes in an attempt to get back to the programmed parameters. I would be surprised if this was not the same exact case with this modern VVT motor. It is my opinion that any gains you see may be short lived if no ECU changes are made to accommodate them as the ECU will fight them.

The grill cost 250 bucks here.

Regarding cai Airaid looks good but i dont know how it will sound and perform

I saw yesterday a powerfull 2012 jk with moded k&n 3.8 cai and corsa dual tip exhaust.
