just remember if you make your own you need to make sure that only outside air is getting in and taht there is no underhood air coming into the intake. also make sure the pipe is going to keep the air cold. Thermal wrap or something never hurts.

Cold air is densor.. ther for more oxygen in the air.. so more power... the way the jeep is set up... its sucking air from outside the engine compartment threw the air box . so ^ as pictured above.. does not add up to cold air intake...

Yea, I had a cold air intake on mine that I never got around to wrapping in heat tape. The other day when I grabbed it after driving for about 15 minutes, I burned my hand. I ripped it off today to put the stock airbox on. I only had the "cold" air intake because it sounded cool when I floored it.

Never mind I guess they don't sell the tube anymore. They do include a breather filter though. Would make a good start.
