uhm. if thats your idea of how to do something to a tuner, im not even gonna say it...

one thing I did was dump the front valve cover breather hose out the other side and down then with a little filter on it and remove some of the egr stuff that attached to the air box. That is about as tuner as ill go on the jeep.

your intake should not be that long. I would do the cowl method or go right out the driver side like normal.

Ill eventually be running a custom line flipped around to the cowl with a cone filter, and if I can afford it a water arrester.

do you actually own a jeep?

Whenever possible have the air intake hose away from the motor and try not to run it over the motor.The hotter the hose gets the hotter the air going into the motor gets which reduces H.P.and performance.

Heat wrap will take care of that.

HAHA i have a stack and a snorkel but not chrome zoomies coming out of the hood... i have my tractor exaust cause it serves a purpose and same with the snorkel.

i say if it dosent function 5x as better as it looks than its not worth it. but if theyre functional and work then id say go for it.

lets make fast n' furious 6 and it will be ALL jeeps.... jeeps with 5 turbos EACH and SUPER DOPE chrome stacks that shoot FLAMES and we will call it the fat and the curious!!!! yes, **** yes, yes!!! im totally gonna bankroll this project! whos with me.

oh and along with the chrome stacks, can we lift the rear like 10" more that the front and then space the rear of the hood up some and paint it neon green to give it 10% more HP? im only down if we can do that..

ok, seriously: good job with paint! that program isnt the easiest, so kudos there. but beyond that i am clearly not a fan... sorry.

the PVC intake is ok, just wrap it in something heatproof PLEASE!!!
