ive found 3 intakes i really like idk which one to get tho its between these 3

i like everything about this one except the filtering element i'd rather be able to clean it rather then replace it

http://www.quadratec.com/products/17006_7100_07.htm
what i dont like about this one is that the intake is right under the vent on the cowl cover and i'd be worried about suckin in water

this one is my choice as of now but idk about the filter itself being in the cowl


any tips pro and cons would be useful!

THANKS!

Well lucky you #2 is for 87-90 XJs. I'd go for spectre because it's shiny

wowww i didnt realize that it was for 87-90s im putting it on my 99 so either 1 or 3 i guess are you happy with the spectre? any problems?

austinjoe13

Idk, I don't have one. I like it because it's shiny so it will reflect heat waves, and the filter is in the tube and not in the cowl. I'll probably try and make one that is similar.

anyone elsE?

If you are trying to get rid of the stock air box I would go with #1. Would be good to run a dual battery in the engine bay. I don't know how much it would matters that it crosses over the engine (possibly warming the cool air you are looking for).

If you can keep the stock air box I would look at something like I did on my 98. I cut a hole in the cowl on the drivers side, ran a 3" tube from the cowl to a hole cut in the air box. Just sealed up the intake hole in the front and it was good to go. Drive through a downpour on the way home tonight, not a drop in the air box. Easy mod with good results for less than $20.

Good luck!

i just ordered the THOR one today, iv heard very good things about both the products though. just quadratec is on backorder with the spectra kits atm

the spectre filter is reusable as well, not a throw away
I would go with the spectre for the price, actually I will be getting the spectre before my next smog (its carb legal) yay CA

mr white

CARB legal? I thought all the carb stuff was $500 more than the same stuff we get in America. :P

Kuro89

are you a real American unlike us on the coasts? the price we gotta pay for a sticker
op if you have emissions tests in your state make sure the intake isn't gonna get you an instant fail like my current cone setup

What air intake did you use for this?
