Default Air intake

i got the K&N and i notice a huge difference than stock.. it gives more kick when u step on it, but if you do alot of off roading/mudding i suggest you go with a snorkel unless u like cleaning and oiling the air filter everytime. Most people prefer Snorkel

yeah.. from what I understand you really won't see any gain from running an upgraded intake.. or at least not enough to justify the cost

Any gains would be great I have a four in lift and 35s so I would love to feel more peppyness and I don't think this will happen but a 1 mpg increase would be sweet . Also what about the intakes tht are completely inclosed would u still need snorkel

Get a drop in filter and a superchips flashpaq. That will help with the power and also you can add a snorkle later if you want. Cai's are over rated imo especially for the money
