[QUOTE="Chris, post: 425274, member: 1"] A cold air intake isn't going to do anything at all for performance, period. Not unless you plan on opening up the cylinder heads with a good port job, and adding some properly sized long tube headers. With the stock heads and exhaust manifold though, you'll gain ZERO from going to a cold air intake. I know what you're thinking, "But I've seen people say they gained 2-3 HP." Nope, those are negligible gains which can be chalked up to nothing more than temperature variances, altitude, engine temp, and much more. Not trying to rain on your parade, just trying to state the facts. Many people don't want to accept this, but the reality is that you can't gain more power by adding more air unless one of the two (or both) applies: [LIST=1] [*]The factory purposely restricted the stock intake [*]You plan to port the heads, add real headers, and add more fuel via a tune [/LIST] Don't waste your money on a CAI unless that applies to you. The factory intake on the JK is not a restriction point whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
