I am running the Volant just because it has a snorkle option for me when I want or need one.

The stock rubber tubing that is on your existing intake is 3" i ordered a 3.5" K&N Airraid replacement filter and took out the old box. Strapped on the new filter over the existing tube with the screw straps. Then i used some firewall insulation to rap the rubber tube to keep the heat from the engine away. works great. I know its not esthetically pleasing but its cheap and super effective.

The AEM Brute Force was my choice because it doesn't need oil. You clean it with the AEM kit which is basically soap and water. I couldnt be happier

I am looking at the AEM brute force for the filter....NO OIL Required.

I have had great luck with the Mopar and AFe CAI systems on my other vehicles. I have always added a pre-filter to stop the really fine Silty particles on Forest Service roads.

OEM is my favorite. Comes with the Jeep and gives you the same amount of gains as all the ones you listed.... NONE

AIRAID may be a pain to clean but it has a cold box which keeps mud, water and engine heat away from the filter. Definitely increases performance, and makes the engine scream when you throttle it
