Cold air intake?
I was wondering how everyone feels about off brand cold air intakes? I am wanting to get alittle more horsepower out of my 2009 sahara unlimited without getting too in deep to purchasing a k&n filter kit since I'm graduating in may and need to save some money. Any thoughts about spectre or the homemade cold air kit option? Thanks.

Truthfully you wont notice much of a difference on these minivan engines with a CAI. You'd probally be better off purchasing a superchip for the extra power.

i use the spectre as temporary. its a hot air intake. since it doesnt have a plastic shield to block engine heat.
The spectre will get you more power and better gasmileage when on the high way and have constant cool air coming in. but from stand still, it will be same, if not worse as the stock.
so i would say, either invest in an actual CAI or get a better filter for stock intake.

I might just get the k&n CAI then, it would be more beneficial than a hot air intake, thanks for the input.
About the chip, which would you suggest?
