You're videos are some of the best do it yourself Jeep videos out here. I'm about one year into Jeep ownership and you're videos have certainly helped me along my way. Thank you very much and keep up the good work! 👍👍👍
put mine on yesterday and followed the video step by step. The video was incredibly helpful THANKS!!! Otherwise No real problems at all except the Air flow sensor was a bitch to wiggle out. Also.. I also put in a adapter on the throttle body and that really created some room issues but was able to gorrila smash that thing in there. SO Far SO Good!
Wanted to say thanks for this video bc it is really the only one out there for this model. Was trying to find out an update on how this held up, and if the mpg and performance upgrades remained substantial enough for you to recommend it still. Thanks
How long does the filter last?. How often or what type of products do you need to service air filter. Please provide details of advantages and disadvantages of this system. Thanks
Most filters are washable. They sell filter oil at autozone that’s you would they utilize to apply to your cleaned filter. I usually clean mine every time I get an oil change, sometimes sooner. Honestly I wash and dry by itself & never had issues. I’ve had K&N, Injen, & Spectre. All have been well
I look at it as an inhaler. I don’t believe you get massive HP gains like most state, I do believe you receive gas mileage assistance and some torque though, opening up your vehicles lungs
How are you liking the intake after 3 years now? Ordered this intake after watching your video but am nervous about the possibility of hydrolock since there is no way to catch water in the new system.
Pretty sure they come with all trim levels. Your dealer might have forgot to install, or seller removed. Gotta check into getting that back! Thanks man, take care.
The previous owner didn’t leave me with anything, including the password to the aftermarket stereo lmao. I looked into it and can get one for around $200. Can’t wait to install the cold air intake, thanks for the help, man! Take care.
Very nice! This and the Flowmaster are very well done. Did you notice a considerable amount of hp and torque addition or just a better sound and mpg? I have done everything to my jeep short of these two things, headers and the super Charger with tuner. Already have 15k in aftermarket on my 2015 Rubi. Of course I lost some of the performance with lift, winch, front an rear bumpers, big tires, talegate swing, wired air compressor..etc,etc. updating to the XRC armor fenders probably weighed it down too, even though it took the big fenders off. Do you think I should put this set up on? I like the rugged ridge shirt snorkel (hopefully that's cold air inducted), and Gibson cat back as well.
Plh7798 Patrick - I notice mostly quicker engine response... the pedal is more reactive. (Plus OMG the sound is addicting). The exhaust snaps mustang owners heads, if you know how to use it... and sitting in a drive through next to a wall hearing the intake breath is so awesome... same here with me. I added the armor bumpers. Both front and back. Added the winch.. lots of weight... and just felt like I had to do something to fist bump the motor a little bit. Love it. Should help your mpg as well. Win - Win. Thanks man! Take care!
No, reinstall the same sensor... the ecu will auto learn the new increased air map and adjust.... Technically you could do a ecu tune after any modification and get more return, but that’s not necessary unless you do major work. Thanks, take care!
James Cobian - Thanks man... I got it from 4wd.com.... here is a link. www.4wd.com/p/rugged-ridge-cold-air-intake-17750-01/_/R-BKMS-17750.01 Take care.
how does it handle water? I cant imagine the air filter is water proof...what if you run into multiple puddles and large splash creates a nice wave and all gets wet under the hood? the stock air filter is sealed and provides decent protection. But open concept like this? whats the protection?
John Saenz - you would not need an exhaust... but if you did install an exhaust they would benefit each other... the engine will breathe easier in and out. But not required at all. Thanks- Take care man.
nice install, I hadn't noticed how bad the air intake system was so bad on jeeps. Doesn't look like many places to run fresh air from + stayaway from water
Damian Cantu - seems about even... but also -now- have the flowmaster exhaust... (did a video on that install). Watching results combined. We will see. But hands down, the two of these together is balls out, aggressive. Sounds awesome. 👌
