Airaid intake system
Does anyone know anything about Airaid intake system for a cherokee. Is it worth getting over the stock intake system and how much is it improved if worth getting?

If it is a cool air intake you would improve alittle on HP and MPG.
|
Unless it has a shield to seperate it from the rest of the engine it will be sucking hot air...not helping out your performance any.
|
Im not sure if its cool air...it says it takes advantage of the dense cool air in that location and improves air flow up to 104%. So it will for sure increase horsepower because im definetly lacking on the on ramp getting up to speed on them highways. Do you know of any other cheap power kickers that can do me any good them are reasonable prices.

Yeah, thats better than the ones with just the tube and cone filter...
|
Exhause upgrade would be your next step after the CAI. You can do a cat back system or if you can afford to, start with headers and go all the way with a freeflow setup.
|
how much do reasonably nice headers go for?

Try these as the high end and they go to about $300. |

I'm looking into building my own intake/hidden snorkel in the near future. That way I'll actually be getting cold air into the intake, instead of hot enginge bay air. |

It sure as hell isn't worth the $190 I shelled out for it. :brickwall: This has been the one purchase, for my jeep, that I keep regretting. It has done very little for performance and not too much for fuel economy either. I seriously feel stupid for admitting to owning this thing.

So do you guys think the best bet is to go for the snorkel instead of futsin around with the under the hood air intake system. How much in gains is the snorkel in means of performance would you think...estimate... is that worth the 300 and some for it?
