Default Air intake suggestions.....

Looking to replace my air take on my wrangler. Wanna save on fuel and have something badass at the same time. Any suggestions. I was thinking K&N.

I went with Volant. Definitely sounds mean. Quality of the materials is better.

Its hard to say because I have a lead foot. Definitely gets more air and I did notice a small increase in throttle response. I've always been a fan of swapping out the factory air boxes.

Yea I feel you. It seem like the truck takes a whole to, Giddy up. First time jeep owner ao really can't tell. The tires are BFgoodrich mud terrain t/a and I know they def decrease mpg.

One thing I've heard over and over again is that you don't buy a Jeep for gas mileage. Its no secret the 3.8 motors are under powered. I did the air box and a super chips. Love the super chips. At some point ill swap out the exhaust. What ever I can do to get more power.

Look good. I'm really leaning towards the K&N right now. Great record and warranties. But still looking.

I considered K&N too at first but the guy at 4WP sold me on AFE. No regrets!
