Well right now, I'm a PFC (Private F*ing Civilian) but I was 6432...Avionics...how long ago were you in CFR here?
that has an excessive amount of tubing. i think it could be done shorter then that
like so

$100.00 and you might be able to do it cheaper fi you got the couplers and ducting from autozone or hardware store.

The only time I hear anything is for about 3 seconds after a cold start. I don't know builds up and quiets down but that's how it goes.
Haha! No, it was some universal 3" intake tube made by Sceptre. I got it from Autozone.
I can understand that. I would also like to offer up an alternative as assembled by EricsXJ. http://ericsxj.com/intake/intake.htm

Ok, for those (like me) who like the Spectre cowl intake system, I spoke with a fella named George in the R&D department. He has informed me that the intake for the newer XJ's should be available in the next 60-90 days. Although he doesn't know of a price, he is thinking it should be in line with their other Jeep intakes. Somewhere in the $200 range, but don't hold me or him to that as I stated above, he is in the R&D department. Also, I got some pictures of their prototype installed in a newer XJ. I asked him about the welds and he said they will remove as many as they can, but any angle too sharp for the mandrel will have to be welded. Pics to follow.

to me these look as if they will just get so hot.

How would they get any hotter than any other metal intake system, THOR, rock-it, aem, airaid, etc....

With the air flow through it I don't think it will get all that hot.
I'm thinking this may be my jeep's christmas present.

x2...air flows rather quickly...heat transfer would be minimal at best!

So why would this design not fit older XJs? I prefer it to the first ... but mine's a '92.

I had the same question...here was the response I received from George in the R&D dept.
"The ’87-’90 have a different throttle body that is not compatible with the newer Jeeps and there are some other differences as well. The kit for the newer XJ’s is P/N 9948 and should be available in the next 60-90 days."

They have one for the older XJ's too. I saw it on their website after I saw this thread. http://www.spectreperformance.com/#CATALOG.9945

Welcome to the party late one!! Yes we know...he was asking why the newer style would not work with the early model XJ's....they are made differently and he prefers the look of the newer one.

I would like this intake much better if injection molded plastic tubing was used instead of metal. With the underhood temps as high as they are in the limited real estate of our XJs/MJs, the metal tubing would probably heat up negate the advantage of the cold air intake. Especially in the 100-degree summers in 'Bama and elsewhere. But the cost of tooling up for the plastic tubing would prolly driver the cost up........
I do like the inline air filter, depending on it's filtering medium and if it's wet or dry. Any input for this? -Don

It is a wet filter as far as I know...I plan on replacing mine with an amsoil dry filter or similar if unavailable from them
