alright so im already planning on making my own cai, although i dont know what type of tubeing to use, aluminum, exhaust pipe, or some kind of ceramic?
also i say this thing called a GF performance chip, it claims up to 60hp gain, 4-7mpg gain and only cost $70, heres the website

i know i wont get 60 more hp but wondering if you think its worth getting at all?

Those chips are a complete waste of money. for a cai, anything would work, auto stores sell cai tubing that u can use.
i didnt think it would be any good, thanks for confirming
and thats pretty much exactly what im gonna do, except im gonna get some dryer heat shield and try to attach that somehow

I have 184k on mine too, mine actually needs a cleaning. Get some engine degreaser and follow the instructions on the can.
alright will do.
oh and real good job on your xj, i think i might do my rims like you did and back bumper.
also dirtdog, what is the thing that says msd on it, in the top right?

Old Skewl CF like a Sir
That "chip" is a $0.15 resistor that causes more harm then good.
something to up the hp or torque. maybe an inch or two lift, im not sure about lift though, i want to but my parents for some reason dont like me messing with my jeep. oh and if theres a way to make the exhaust better, although im sure that cant happen very cheap.
i would mostly like to up the power

Well there arent really alot to do to get more hp from an xj, but u can get about 20 more hp, by going with a high performance ignition, cai, bored throttle body, headers, cat back exhaust, injectors, and a programmer such as a jet chip, or for a lot more a stroker or boost it. Getting hp isnt the cheapest thing to do to an xj. But u can make a simple cai, and if u just want a bit louder exhuast cut out the old muffler and clamp on a cherry bomb or something, injectors are also pretty cheap and easy
