[QUOTE="Chris, post: 425682, member: 1"] While I haven't done this, I should make you aware that a cold air intake will yield no power gains whatsoever on these Wranglers. Unfortunately that's not an opinion, it's fact. The Jeep engineers themselves have mentioned on the boards back in the day. Some engines can indeed benefit from increased airflow, unfortunately these engines are not that lucky. The other issue at hand is that there have been numerous tests performed, and all of the aftermarket air filters out there are not as good as an OEM style filter in filtering out the bad stuff from getting in your engine. That being said, if you go off-road any at all, a cold air intake will actually be doing your engine more harm than good. If this were a LS3, LS7, or something along those lines, you could slap on an air intake and a tune and make some more power. Such is not the case with the Jeep Wrangler though :( Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to help out (y) [/QUOTE]
