Default AFE AIR INTAKEs ANYBODY?

I have a 2013 JK 3.6 Sport UNLTD and I'm thinking about getting a AFE air intake ...

Is anyone running any one of the following three AFE cold air intakes in their 3.6 Jeep Wrangler?

Jeep Wrangler 2013 - aFe Power

I'm really curious if it really produces xtra hp and what the differences are between the 3 kits

I have what you show as the Magnum on my '13. It is a quality setup as far as fit and finish. From my experience in the past with hi-perf cars, they are usually worth a few hp and AFE does have dyno results that show that. But it is not going to be real noticable from the seat of your pants. What it does do is open up another world of incredible sound with the 3.6.

I will say, if you would enjoy hearing what is really one of the most awsome sounding V-6s under throttle, then you'll get your moneys worth. If you are hoping to feel a big increase in HP, save your money.

What about CAI with a TB spacer? Will the spacer coupled with the CAI make a noticeable diff or is it too just for the sound?

Seeing as you're so open minded as to what's worth what concerning others, here's my opinion... Unless you actually run in water deep enough to NEED a snorkle and you have the lift and tires and the water line half way up your doors to prove it, a snorkle looks rediculous. The word poser comes to mind and there's nothing "cool" about that.

I have the AFE in my 2010 and like it was perviously said the sound that it gives off is awesome and you can kinda feel a little more power but nothing major. i also have a TB and before i have the CAI and i couldnt notice anything besides this little wissle every now and then but sense i put on my CAI the wissle is even louder and more annoying so much so i had to take it off... but all in all i think it is worth the coin just for the sound just my 2cents :
