Lookin to bring more air in and i know both would help but with the AEM would i have to worry about water getting into it and would heat affect it in the summer esp if it;s 90 some degrees...jsut looking for the better way to go i will be putting an exhaust on in the future if that helps any thanks!

I'm about to order the K&N GenII FIPK myself. I had a home made kit on my Dakota and really found no problems with water or heat. My sis has my truck now and she lives in Phoenix, I have heard nothing from her about the setup, so I guess the heat hasn't affected her yet

Kraw,
Do you know of a write up or tech page on how to make your own intake? I have a 97 and don't want to put out the money for the K&N, and I work at a hardware store so parts are no problem.
Thanks

not for Jeeps, I did mine for a Dakota w/ 5.2l It was simple.. I just pulled all the old crap off, put on a rubber connector and glued some PVC together. I can't really explain, it has been several years since I did it. I do have pics of my setup. I wrapped the PVC with heat resistant tape (dunno if it helped or not)




I have more pics and info on it here

hey.. k&n makes good stuff but they're gas killers and slightly overrated.. get the rugged ridge cold air intake system with a throttle body spacer (it comes with it).. added horsepower is unreal and it saves gas

While you're at it replace your drive shaft with two pieces of angle aluminum that have been welded to make a hollow square. It'll be stronger, since it's a square, and it'll be lighter since it's aluminum. Best of both worlds. The added horsepower you get from less drivetrain resistance is insane and it saves gas.

Added horsepower? REALLY??? Saves gas? REALLY??? K&N makes good stuff? REALLY??? Wow...this just turned into a hilarious thread.

Seriously though: read Unlimited04's post and click the link he posted.
