Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

How much louder than stock is it? Any droning?

It's not much louder. You can definitely hear the difference but unless you get over 2-2500 rpm it's pretty quiet. Plus if you have larger aggressive tires like me, the noise from the tires on the road cancel most of the exhaust out. I was expecting something a little louder but it'll do for now.

Looks good!!! Been debating on getting one myself or a new vented hood. I'm just concerned about possible water getting in the engine bay from rain or washing??

He commented about his unhappiness with that very issue in the PSC hood louver specific thread. I'm in the same boat as you guys, but I'm just not as concerned about the water issue. Wish replacement hoods were a bit more budget friendly.

Post #389 for his initial review after some rain.

I did the Smittybilt Stingray hood last September (2016) and so far so good. I'm in Canada so I just got out of winter with lots of salt/calcium everywhere and -30 Celcius.....and still look good. Way cheaper then à Rubicon 10th anniversary hood.
