Quote: ya, I just figured it would not hurt to have a little more air flow to the throttle body.
If you gonna be off-roading and gettin it wet a bigger hole just allows more water in the filter area. A better mod would be the cowl snorkel so your not sucking up water til your hood is under water.

Quote: That's not true at all. The stock exhaust manifold is actually pretty well designed as far as flow is concerned.
Beside the metion of the tuning you get from long tubes, a common manifold is already pressurized once the first cylinder release exhaust into it. All the following cylinders now have to fight that pressure to empty out the old A/F mixture. Even a poorly tuned header will help decrease the pressure at the exhaust ports, a better one will obviously do this better. Last I knew there werent many XJs at the drag strip though.

Quote: hows the intake holding up for ya??
pretty good!

took it out on the trails friday and didn't get any mud on the filter, which is more than I could say for the sitting-in-the-stock-airbox setup I was running before.

i don't know how GA is but here in LA your vehicle is an extension of your home. if someone tries to break in with you in it you can take lethal action. you can keep your gun locked and loaded anywhere in the vehicle. it does not have to be visible. i know in TX you can carry your gun but the mag and gun have to be separated and the gun has to be unloaded!!! what's the point of carrying it then???

Haha hella sick.... dont know if i would have my gun that visible do to risk of having my jeep broken into but it looks really cool. I live in AZ and our gun laws are awesome.... but to the guy who lives in LA he must be military or a cop because Last time i went to CA I got a ticket for carrying a loaded gun with a mag in my truck. that was my colt, haha good thing they didnt search my luggage cause they would have seen my AR with a 25 rnd clip and a bayonett haha.

i dont keep it in the jeep when i get out...it goes with me...but i am in the process of putting a lock box in the jeep maybe under the rear seat or something incase i do have to leave it in the jeep
