Hey i have a ARB snorkel on my jeep and i wanted to do some simple intake and exhaust mods for better mpg's, but i already have a snorkel. Is there any way i can make it flow faster for more efficiency? All i can think of is put one of those $40-$50 K&N high flow filters in there, but do those things really make htat muhc of a difference? Maybe i dont even need to, i figure a snorkel is essentially a cold air intake in a way?

i wouldnt even worry about it, anything you do wont be noticeable and essentially just a waste of money.

put the money into the exhaust and be done with it.

yea good point, thats what i figured. does anyone have a dent in their down pipe? i straight up have a huge dent in my downpipe of my exhaust right after hte header im sure thats robbin me some gas mileage too. but maybe its jsut like a factory thing for emissions? its like a oval shaped one i just dont see how it could have gotten dented its all the way up in the engine bay

Kyle

is it on that little round bubble looking thing (i dont know the technical term for this)

One thing to remember when doing intake modifications is what goes in must come out. If you mod your intake to takes gobs of air, you have to have an exhaust to release all of it as well. Your snorkel takes in fresh clean air and that's good. The k&n filter does allow more air flow but also more dirt/dust. It's been talked about alot recently about how users of k&n filters find their intake tubes dusty after a while. I'm one of them

As for the dent in your exhaust, i don't have one so you shouldn't. I wonder how it happened in that location. I have a HUGE dent on the exhaust pipe right under the bellhousing but that's from my big hammer to gain clearance for my skid plate.

actualyl kyle it is on that little bubly thing. its like where hte pipe has like a oval-ish and bigger part of pipeage, and its dented there. do you have the same thing?

Kyle

yup we all do, came like that from the manufacture.

I actually bought the K&N high flow air filter. For the price it is up to you, but the difference in throttle response is noticeable. From past experience they r worth the money.
