This. Open the cowel up and look at it sometime. It will all make sense

 

That cavity is sealed at the top and has drain holes at the bottom. You'd basically need your hood underwater for a few minutes to get water in the cowl snorkel intake.

 

What about when its raining and driving its gonna suck in water

 

No. Just open your cowl up and look and you'll understand. It's only 8 screws and 2 windshield wipers.

 

How much does a cowl kit gona run me $$$?

 

Made one for $40
most expensive part was the filter.
empty paint can, PVC pipe, 3 inch hole saw.

 

Ok that's the whole point! I purchased that K&N CAI for not even $19!

 

that's legged you get the throttle body space

 

But it's a waste of $19. It doesn't do anything.

 

where's your proof it doesn't do anything

 

if you have taken it to a dyno installed the kit and then took it all apart and put stock Back in then you have no proof

 

You're still sucking up hot air from the engine bay. It puts the intake in the same place, and it doesn't seal it off from the hot under hood air. Unless you show me on a dyno that it helps, I'm gonna use common sense and not waste my money.

A cowl intake moves the air intake up about 6" and draws cold air. It's also highly resistant to flooding.

Don't argue if you don't know what you're talking about.

 

If i mis judge the depth of some water to the point that my headlights are under...jeep will still be breathing air. That's why i did it.

 

I think someone spent the $180 on a k&n kit and his butt dyno swears its better

These 2 people know what they are talking about.

And just a fyi there clockwise. I have access to a dyno. A k&n kit killed 2hp and 13ft lbs or torque after my old xj was warm. K&n kits are all hype. Only thing they are good for on a xj is speeding up the hydrolock ability.

 

Your wrong! Currently I have a homemade C.A.I and how is it that my I.A.T's drop to 20°f on a 53°f morning drive to work? And it doesn't have a heat shield! I Know a C.A.I works Im literally watching my I.A.T's drop right off my phone. Also explain why my intake manifold is cool to the touch after my drive to work? Over the winter it the tb & intake manifold would get ice cold! So your wrong C.A.I intakes work
