Cold-Air Intakes
#11
my 2 cents.. 'cause thats all I have left...
That is freakin' funny ....I'm going to use that over the next week at work....a lot.
Hmm... I somewhat disagree, with a CAI + CAT-back exhaust , I've had performance increases across a few makes and models - more cool (dense) air in is good ....more hot air out (via tuned, less restrictive path) is good......darn right foot still dictates MPG.
greenamphibious OEM is my favorite. Comes with the Jeep and gives you the same amount of gains as all the ones you listed.... NONE

IMO there won't be much difference between any of them, they will all likely provide the same very modest gain. Go with the one you like, or the one you get the best deal on. I went for the Airaid simply because my total investment in it ended up being $150.

but the CAI alone does nothing. Personally the money you put into a CAI and cat back for minimal gains could be better spent elsewhere in a Jeep. Just my opinion

Metal tubed CAIs will conduct heat into the intake and a variety of third party testing on varied vehicles nearly always shows the poly counterparts to be more effective. Certainly minimal gains and great merit in using the stock air box and a drop in high flow filter. At 4 or 5 times the additional price only the end user can state the relative value of a CAI and the modest amount of additional power created.

I just installed the aFe Magnum Force. Pretty easy install; 45 minutes or so, and it would have been alot quicker if I hadn't dropped a grommet and and to search for it for 10 minutes. The filter claims you can just vacuum or wash it out. So far I'm a fan. It was my choice as it was the cheapest one I could find!
