Default Cold air intake

Buying a cold air intake for my 11 Jk is not even close to a top priority of mods to buy. However I have the opportunity of one being given to me or dirt cheap 50$ or so. I don't wheel my Jeep to intensely, but my question is that if I would see some benefits from this install or if it is worth it or not. Thanks !

If it's free it dirt cheap then go for it. Being that a programmer isn't available yet, a cai and exhaust is about all you can do besides re-gear

Yup. I would do it since you have a cheap deal rather than wait and but it full price later when a programmer is available....

Have had mine in for about 2 weeks and am loving it. Saw some gain in power during acceleration. I have 2011 also

I have to find the brand out. It's from a friend of the family who has always owned mustangs, but decided it was time for a wrangler when his son was unfortunately killed in a motorcycle accident. With that said his oil burning/water leaking 2010 is going so that's where I become the lucky one ! I'll have to post the brand when I find out

no it wont fit, gotta get a CAI specifically for a 2012.. I think RIPP makes one, there is a thread on here somewhere with it.

I know a lot of people don't think CAI's don't do much, but my K&N did provide a little more "get up and go." Obviously the big boost was from the Superchip, but the CAI does add something, in my opinion.
