Does K&N FIPK on 2000 4.7 liter V8 make my Jeep louder?
 

Just wondering if anyone has installed one of these and used them... and if
they make the thing roar in a noticeable way when just driving around town,
or are out on the highway doing 70-75. My wife has to drive this thing too,
and I don't want the complaining to be louder than the motor. It's a 2000
Grand Cherokee.

It's a Fuel Injection Performance Kit Gen2, apparently increasing HP by
13.10, or more interestingly, reaching the same HP as the stock engine 1000
RPMs lower. (There's a graph.)

Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks.... Dave

Dave,

The increased sound level will be of different character, than a less
restrictive exhaust would be. You will definitely notice something at
first, but after a while maybe not at all. If you want more specific
information, I am afraid you will have to find someone, who has it installed
already, and actually listen. It's too bad they don't have a sound
recording to go along with the dyno graph.

Imho, the percentage increase shown is not worth the expense, unless you are
towing something and want all the power you can get, or are serious about
fuel economy. There are likely to be economy gains with this device too.

Not to mention incresed 'crud' making its way through the air filter and
into the engine.. Bottom line is K&N is a less restrictive filter. It lets
more air in, which lets more 'crud' in. Take the air filter off your engine,
drive around the block and see if you notice a power difference worth paying
for.

The newer Grand Cherokees also have a resonator on the intake that you
would be losing. I assume that it is there only for the sound reduction.

Also..

If you examine the chart you will see almost no improvement at the RPM
levels where I generally operate my '02 WJ.
