cold air intake

[rdltmc3]

Is the benifits worth the $150 price tag?

 

[87manche]

no.

if you want one I will gladly trade you mine for your stock airbox.

 

[rdltmc3]

That bad huh? is it actually hurting the jeep?

 

[seanR]

It looks cool!

You can build one for about $10, minus filter...you can use a flared piece of exhaust pipe available at about any parts store and drill a hole on it to weld a bung on for your blow off tube, weld apiece of 1" strap on it with a bend on the end for a mounting point and get a 3" inlet cone filter. It will be the exact same as the Rusty's style for a fraction of the cost. I built many and sold them for a while...simple and easy.

I wasted my money on a Spectre kit for the Renix in my comanche that doesn't fit.

The design engineer for that specific kit basically told me I was retarded and there is no way it wouldn't fit correctly.:doh:

3" PVC works too.

DO NOT USE PVC!!! It will get hot and shrink up and you will end up with out any air cleaner!

CPVC may hold up to the under hood temps but I haven't tried it.

I agree but Hell I figured this was a fun, joke around thread.

I have been using it on the buggy for the last 10th years but that doesn't count. iratefla:

Not worth it...I tell every one of my customers to stay with stock filters. Some go with the K&N that goes in the factory box because they can clean it but they usually end up neglecting it and it turns into a mud ball.

During water crossings it is beneficial to not have a stock box. The intake of the box acts as a water scoop.

 

[joejeep92]

There is actually a TSB for a modified factory airbox for better water fording. It basically was a block off and relocate.

Put that money towards a cowl intake.

I have the spectre cowl intake. With an autozone 30% online coupon you can get them for ~$100. Spectre and K&N are in bed together.
