wont the blower motor suck the air the wrong way rather than charging the air into the intake?
If your windows are all rolled up, and you whack the gas do your ears pop?
Maybe it's just me...but that seems like a bad idea?
I'm not hating, nor do I KNOW this won't work. I just can't imagine an intake being inside the car works that well considering the lack of forced air inside the car. Let us know how it works!

Nice clean install, is it loud inside the cab?Thanks for the input. I'm running no doors, no glass. I'm thinking there will be more air inside the cab then under the hood.

There is no reason it won't work. As long as the inside of the Jeep stays dry, the intake will also. If the Jeep stops and the interior fills, the intake will also.
The intake appears to be routed where the heater blower used to be. I kinda like a heater in my XJ.
Is it a fire hazard?

With no doors, no windows, no hatch, and no windshield, what's really the point of putting it inside? Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it'd be nearly as likely to take on water as outside...
EDIT: I'm not bashing the idea, I actually suggested this to someone who said they didn't like the look of a snorkel on the outside a while ago. How close does the hood (if you have one) come to colliding with the duct over the valve cover?
Fire hazard in what way Ron?
If the engine backfires and there is anything flamable on or near the air filter....:flame:
It's more of a concern in boats where the engine is in a fairly airtight compartment with gas fumes. So they put a flame arrestor inside the air filter.
So that would include paper filters as well. In which case most everybody has a fire hazard.
no rear hatch? what kind of cage are u building for it?
