Ya I'd imagine the guy that posted that ditched this forum. I too feel kinda bad for him. Hey it seemed like a good idea..... A lot of people don't understand how a n/a internal combustion engine works and how different mods effect (or have no usable effect) the engines efficiency (HP). Cut the guy a little slack. He's been bashed enough

All that said the 4.0 engine can still take in more air than the stock air box allows... dosent hurt to have a little extra filter to let the engine take in all it can at least. Im going to put a cone filter on mine soon as I can, but thats because I want to put a backup battery where the airbox goes

I have a simple velocity stack with a cone on mine.. operates fine for what I do. I have only hit one water crossing that made me think I was screwed (post hood vents) I will not be forwarding water like that again though.. water coming over the hood to the windshield was kind of concerning...
