My Sport S is still D1 (ordered 12/12/11), & my boyfriend already has gotten me some upgrades & even has some used Sahara steps from a fellow JK forum member (thankyou JLsJK) on the way!
... but I told him that I'm turning the wrenches ... it is MY Jeep after all !

So ifim reading this right, then I shouldn't get any performance improvements if I got a CAI, throttle body and catback exhaust without getting a tuner?? And there are no tuners that are currently out that work with our already amazing 3.6??

Pretty much after a couple hundred miles the ECU will reset itself to the stock parameters. Superchips' VIVID Performance Tuner will be out in a couple of months.

Hi,
I had 2008 sahara manual trans euro spec which use engine fan to cool thr radiator but now 2012 has an electric fan and i think it cant stand the power of the pentastar cause my temp raised to 3/4 in climb several times.
One more thing, i think the clutch either cant stand the power. Mine almost burned
Looking for clutch which can fit the 3.6 engine.
Till now i didnt find any, i thought spec clutch will fit but it turns not
Mtill now.

I put the MBRP cat back on yesterday and was a little conceraned with the sound. After about 300 miels, It seems to have settled in and sounds great. Excellent addition to the pentastar. Now I just need Banks to put out their CAI and that tuner to be ready. 300+ HP Jeep!!

There is a little "tinny" sound when you stomp it. ti seems to happen at high RPMs right before it shifts to the enxt gear
