Default Cold Air Intakes.....

Need some thoughts on the subject please.

Keep in-mind, I have no interest in a K&N Style Open filter.(3.6L is REALLY hot under the hood)

Im thinking more like a Volant or a Banks or Airraid.

Also, Is thier any dealers local So i dont have to Ebay it?

Have you tried Just Jeeps or National 4X4? It's been awhile since I last checked out those places. Gave up on the CAI/SRI option as I am leaning towards a snorkel.

There is alot of info on this. General consensus is: Don't bother with the CAI. There are no documented gains and leaves you open to water intake. Snorkle is the only way to go or leave it stock..

Would not bother for CAI either, this is for sport compact cars! LOL I would spend the same kind of money on something else for my Jeep, protection for example, like a skid plate or something, just because I am quite often off the pavement so for me no benefit from CAI and waiting for a snorkel solution for my 2012.
