I have a 98 Cherokee Sport thats essentially my DD in the city and I want to improve its intake. I essentially want to seal up the stock air box and pipe the air through the hood either with a vent or a small scoop. I cant begin to justify a snorkel system and the typical bolt on CAI's seem like a wast as long as theyre still sucking air from the engine compartment. Ive seen the one cut through the panel below the windshield but it seems like it would absorb way too much heat (its routed straight across the motor) plus I dont want to cut up anything that cant be replaced. What Im asking is has anyone done this or does anyone have ideas/thoughts?
