I will be doing this soon I hope. What did you all use to cut the hood with?

 

I used a Dremel with a metal cutting disc. I found that it gave me more control than a bigger grinder. The hood metal is pretty thin so it cuts easy

 

Thanks, that's what I thought. An angle grinder is just too cumbersome. I have to find a dremel to borrow now.

 

crappy tire has a kit for 39.99 which includes a diamondcut off whele which is all i used.

 

Just installed mine last weekend also. I thought the install was very simple.

I know volants snorkel for the TJs uses their CAI system...but not sure about their JK setup. The volant JK snorkel looks like crap.

 

I picked up a take off Rubicon hood for 100 bucks gonna put louvers and an snorkle and repaint it from red to flat black.

 

Pretty sure the Volant snorkle will work with the volant cai. Prob give a lil more flow than the elbow on the stock airbox that the aev snorkle seals to.

 

So the aev snorkel actually fits with our lightbar?! Post a picture I don't believe it.

 

Any increase/ decrease in mpg's?

 

i would like to put my snorkel on. its just sitting in the basement... I'm too nervous about hacking into the hood. i cut my fenders tho and it was alot easier then i thought it was gonna be. so maybe ill give this a try, no use in buying another hood tho. mine had a dent in it before 100 miles.
