Leave the turd engine alone. Use your money on suspension, tires, wheels, etc.

Default Intake

Go with the Volant... it makes the best power, and you can do a snorkel with it that is easy to install and looks awesome!

For what it's worth, I just order the same one with the Pro Dry filter after looking at all the options for the past few months. I also considered the Volant but 1) the price was way too much; and 2) I really liked what I heard about aFe intakes.

That's a strong allegation. Please post dyno results with A/F ratios.

Default A/F #'s

I don't have dyno numbers from my Jeep, but it was rated at 74% more flow... That is considerably higher, and it was noticeable on my build.

I went with the Banks intake and exhaust. I recently took the intake off because my wife said it was to loud. I drove it like it that for 2 weeks. I decided she can drive her own car so i put it back on. WooooHoooo. I love it. There is a definite power increase. I will never take it off.

I installed the Airaid today. Worth every penny and makes the Magnaflow cat back sound even better.
