Best Looking Modified Intake
I just made this myself. I think it looks awesome and will be testing all next week for performance gains and increased fuel mileage. I have to put a bung on the intake for the vacuum line still but this it what it looks like so far. It has a 9" AEM dry filter with 3.5" pipes going into the stock intake throttle body. Let me know what you guys think!

Not sure the size of the JK's intake, but what I did for my car was buy a generic 3" chrome tube from auto zone (spectre intake - $40) and bought a K&N Cone Style Filter.. The way the tube is made.. it'll fit most vehicles..

yea nice job I like seeing things being made instead of being bought.....
I too am making my own CAI with "cold air box". my material is being shipped to me from "woolf" (who posted above) it's 3" aluminum which I will tig weld together. hopefully I'll get to mess with it next week once the material shows up..

I just got the vacuum line bung on and the project is almost complete. I just now got back from the test drive and it pulls like it's nobody's business. I know I know, to truly make real gains you need a free flowing exhaust as well; but from what I can tell this intake really adds torque throughout the entire rpm range. I love it; now to just build a custom cold air box/shield. Oh by the way; it sounds so mean when you get on it; have the nice whistle when you shift gears but when you punch it it really roars!

sorry for the replies back to back but I got the 9" dry element from AEM; great filter and design; 6" at base and 5.5" at top. From what I can tell it's a great system (AEM Brute Force) but with my 3.5" piping and larger filter I think I can flow more air as soon as i redo my exhaust.
