2.75" I went from 2.75 to 3.875 OD

Has anyone thought about coming straight out and then turning down so the filter sits in front of the engine...just thinking this would free up the airbox location for a spare parts box or a second battery?

I thought about doing that actually but you'd have to make some kind of box to keep wather from splashing on the filter because it would site directly above the D30 and be pretty exposed. Also you'd get that radiator heat which would defeat the purpose of a CAI.

Good points...I guess I want the CAI more to give me space for a battery. Maybe I'll just figure out how to mount the stock air box over there.

I think it looks sweet, but without a "Cold Air Box, that filter is going to be sucking a lot of hot underhood air. This mayl prevent you from getting as much power as if the filter were proected from the hot air.

I bought one for my 04' and it was a nice kit.

I'll be making a custom box for the filter; I agree that it will be sucking hot air without it. It is winter now though so it's not as big of an issue because it's freezing outside and the air under the hood stays relatively cool but i definitely want to have it on before summer.

Okay guys the numbers are in; as far as gas mileage goes; it has seemed to increase about 1mpg even with my foot in the floor more. I had it dyno'd and it picked up 13hp and 12ftlb of torque. All I'm waiting for now is to finish my CAI shield to prevent hot air from being exposed to the filter and waiting for headers to come out for my custom exhaust install; hopefull I'll end up with over 30+ in hp and torque with these mods. Anyone else see similar numbers?

First off Moomba that is a sweet looking intake, good job. Where did you get the rubber gaskets that attach it to the intake and join the two tubes?

I think 1Badjk is the one that totaled the gains with CAI, exhaust and chip. See his link "The results are in" on the writeups section. His gains totaled around +30hp +30fp.

I basically did the same to my jeep and the perforance gains make it feel like a different engine.

AEM cai, Magnaflow exhaust and jet stage 1 chip.

You cnan hear my exhaust and see pics here https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...naflow+exhaust

thanks for the comment! www.siliconeintakes.com is where the fittings came from; it was like a 10 minute install including the pipe fabrication and all and the look and performance are incredible. I'm waiting for headers to do a true dual exhaust set-up with x pipe. it's going to sound bad. nice work on your jk
