I got my new AirRAid CAI delivered and installed last night.

Not too hard to install but if you get any CAI be VERY careful removing the temp sensor. It was more difficult to extract than I had anticipated and I accidently grabbed the electrical connector and broke off the little latch that keeps it tightly together.

I managed to salvage it, at least temporarily, though.

Also, on the AirRaid, you have to assemble the heat shield with seven little screws. I (being the kind of guy who likes his screws really tight ) sheared one of the screw shanks off. Luckily I had some other screws and nuts laying around that almost fit. I had to drill out the hole a little.

Finally, I haven't had my JK over 35 MPH since I installed the CAI so I can't really report on any performance gains. It does sound a little bit throatier now at higher revvs.

Let us know how it sounds and how the mileage is.

Thanks

Any update?? I was thinking about doing the same thing. Also was thinking about a cat back exhaust too.

No real update yet. Still been driving around town. Gas mileage while still stock went up to 18 until I put the lift and wheels on it. Now it won't measure correctly and I have to wait til I get gas again to see the difference. I will be taking it on the highway this weekend and will see haow it does there.

I will probably do the exhaust too sometime this year.

I researched both AirRaid and AEM Brute Force assembly instructions prior to my purchase. Based on the instructions, assembly was one of the reasons I went with the AEM Brute Force instead of the AirRaid. I think both products are comparable.
