Whats your opinon on the many many systems around? Ive always installed the K&N systems in my prior Jeeps, but of course that isnt avalible just yet for the JK and I'm not so sure its the best.
Thats hott. I suppose your right I did graduate with a degree in engineering (just not mechanincal) one would think I could make something like that. Do you see a vast improvement in air flow? Have you had other intake systems? And how does this creation rank with other intake systems youve had in the past?Modshack said:With a little creativity you can make your own for little $$
I'm on version 2...More pics at the link below
Your design looks incredible. Would you be willing to give me a parts list that you typically used for your intake projects? I would love to build this thing myself and maybe "engineer" a few changes also.Modshack said:This is actually version 2.5... Seems to flow really well...If you look below you'll see the Velocity stack style inlet I added to the picture above. The cannister has insulation in it, so the heat is reduced. i currently have an Apexi dry filter in there, but tried a K&N as well in another system not shown. This one seems to work best from a sound and flow standpoint. I did the chip and exhaust at the same time so it's hard to quantify the filter itself. I have a few designs out there for other cars, so i have a little experience (but no engineering degree!)
I installed mine yesterday, boy, what a difference in pick-up. I don't know about gas mileage, have not tested that yet.redrom01 said:I desided to say screw it to engineering a custom system and desided to buy the Airaid system. We'll see how it well it works soon.

I used the Airaid system and got it from Quadratec for $224.99 plus 19.91 shipping.Matthew Davis said:Hi Egmont,
Which system did you install, cost, reseller? Are there any negatives to installing one of these?
Thanks,
Matt
did you add a chip and exhaust? like the AIR RAID system but i think i might wait and add all 3 at the same time.redrom01 said:The intake tube is made of plastic just like the K&N intake tube that I had in my '95 XJ. One thing I really like about this kit is that the metal housing around the filter has a full bottom piece to it which will help protect from any water getting sucked up into the intake.
Havent added either yet. I'll most certinly add a Flowmaster exhaust at some point in the near future. As for the chip....I may never get to that considering that you have to use premium gas, but ya never know I may do it at some point.xBADTRIPx said:did you add a chip and exhaust? like the AIR RAID system but i think i might wait and add all 3 at the same time.
You only have to use premium gas with stage 2, stage 1 I believe still uses 87.redrom01 said:Havent added either yet. I'll most certinly add a Flowmaster exhaust at some point in the near future.
