do you like it? Its sucking hot air in. i had a similar intake and it made my jeep worse. sounded great but sucked hot air so i went back to stock with a K@N filter and it is great

[TheMagnovo]

you dont even have to move the filter. Just make a heat shield with some insulating tape and a plastic bucket. Also, wrap the intake pipe with insulating tape. Other than that nice work!!

way to close to the exhaust manifold and engine. If you want more power and better gas mileage, move it further away and build a wall to insulate the heat from the engine away from the filter.

@jordanm6 right, i hear ya all the way on that one.

[jordanm6]

@aaminjoshi91 Well its just something that most people over look. There are ways to attempt to stop it but, nothing is full-proof unless you would like to pay more for what ever the station has to offer.

@jordanm6 Yeah? i've never heard of any condensation problems. i can see the whole leaving the car on to heat up thing though.

[jordanm6]

@aaminjoshi91 People complain of worse mpg because the stations fuel tanks can get condensation in them, thus putting water in the fuel. That and most people run their vehicle longer in the winter to heat them up.

@jordanm6 What I normally do for the summer is put a 180Temp Thermostat in. Normal is 195. On Older 70's cars I've had I used to put 160-170 Temp stats in them. They ran Much better, Had alot more torque and got better gas mileage. I just got my 94 Grand Cherokee a few weeks ago. Just hit 241,000 and the 318 V-8 runs like it has 50,000

@Newport1974 Heat is an engines worst enemy and cold weather prevents motors from getting heat soaked like it would in the summer.

[aaminjoshi91]

@Newport1974 yeah it does make a difference. its not huge but its there. it also costs more though. i have been filling up 89 octane recently. i found a station that sells 87 and 89 octane at the same price.
