So I thought it was ridiculous that companies charge upwards of 300 for jeep CAI. So I went to pep boys and bought a kit the had there (didn't fit) but the 3" K&N filter will fit on the intake tube leading to the airbox. Then all you need is a breather filter and you're good to go. The power increase is noticeable due to the removal of the restrictive stock airbox. Engine is louder also.
K&N 3" reusable air cone $45
Breather tube filter $10
Done in very easily and very cheap!

Also recommend the removal of the acoustic sound cover. I think the engine looks fine and that thing dampens a good amount of sound. I want to hear my 3.6 purr haha

you be sucking in lots of hot air with that set up. I would put a deflector on it to protect from the super heated air that comes thru the radiator. quality CAI focus on the Cold not just the air.

Ummm... Yeah... I agree kh202, there is a reason for either a box or a shield! You could call this one the hot air and water intake system! Lol maybe just a touch more R&D before you hit the market with this one... (shrug)

False bonanza! It sounds better and pulls harder. The factory airbox is quite restrictive. Small opening and lots of un-needed area inside the box. And K&N filters have much better flow than those stupid screen filters inside the stock box. Not too worried about water or mud that deep because I don't **** with stuff that deep haha. And the intake isn't really much lower compared to the stock opening.
