Default 2012 intake

I've searched but didn't find anything relating to this. Will the Cherokee aftermarket intake bolt up in the pentastar wranglers? I'm thinking there may be some modifications needed but how much? Thanks

I would just opt for a drop in performance filter. All the benefits, lower cost and none of the detriments.

I don't see any benefit to a CAI on the Pentastar engine the intake is super short and they squeezed every bit of performance out of that thing. But to each there own. I doubt a cherokee one would fit since there is very little room in the wranglers engine bay it pretty much molded to fit in there perfect. I think the only way you could do something is to remove the stock air box and use an adapter to stick a cone filter on the end.

I prefer my engine to be quiet!
