Snorkel or cowl intake. I Like the clean look of the cowl intake but will do a snorkel if I find a cheap enough setup

What have you noticed with this intake? Noise level (whistle), MPG's, power, idle, acceleration, etc?

I guess I'll add mine. I just modded the factory box. Been doing it this way for years on my VW's and the results have been consistent. It's free and it works.

Oh what one do you want then? Since I'm pretty sure they all tie into the stock air box, in either front or rear of it.

You have to have a filter somewhere. There are some PVC ones on this thread (or somewhere, I know I've seen them) that just use a cone filter on the upper end of the snorkle. Production snorkles use the stock air box so they don't have to worry about a filter and liability damage caused by bad filtration.

I think im going to try and cut a stock intake tube and see what I can do with exhaust pipe. Just got to find a a 20 year old intake tube still in good shape so I can still drive the jeep while I work it out

There have been allot of changes since I did the air intake, including removing that big piece of rubber/fiber from under the front of the engine bay. It's a mud pit under there now. Just took this pic for the post. I need to put some heat tape around the down spout piece that is attached through the hood, it got out of shape from heat. I would recommend using a metal piece if you can find one.
