All sizes. I will run one on my 70 Camaro that I plan on Road Racing. It has LS327 and 4l60e that's built by me ground up. I'm not dumb. Actually very smart.

I'm getting attacked by people. So I respond with comedy.

I was not going to respond. But I like the UMP set up.

I poked fun at u too.

With irony and some humor tho. Dont take it too personally. In 49 states, i carry the job title of engineer as well. Just not in Texas where i live. I fly all over the country validating and repairing medical analyzers. In my home state my job title has to change to representative.

I am looking at the link u provided, those are interesting indeed and may resolve an issue i was having. I am putting a LS 5.3 with 6spd auto in my jk and was having air filter space issues-it cant use the stock airbox.

No Sweat on the stabs. I've been in the oilfield for 12yrs. Started out cementing wells chasing a pump truck. Halliburton made us work in the field rigging up and down. I have thick skin. Some people don't like my humor.

I don't fall for the Jeep add on hype.

Good luck with your project. Post updates.

I considered the AEV pre-filter. It's purposely made to break at the external connections, and those stick out above the surface. That's a tempting invitation for branches... So I decided on the Donaldson, which spins too, doesn't have this built-in weakness, and is well proven in the harsh Australian conditions of dense sand dust.

Here is a UMP inside a Scout, it's on another forum.
He does have a hood level scoop.
This is very efficient and an alternative to Snorkel if you would like it hidden under hood.
This is the set up I would do for my JKUR.
