I used them a lot when I owned my Ford. They were fine. I should let you know, that a few of our forum sponsors such as Quadratec offer price matching. It is always nice to have price matching, and a known great company like Quadratec, or another forum sponsor behind the product.

Any signifcant performance/gas mileage differences? (can you feel the difference?)

Is it worth it to do this type of mod - or head for the air intake & exhaust work instead?

I work for a competitor (non-forum sponsor so I won't name us), and have had a ton of direct customer feedback from users of JET Performance chips.

They're a mixed bag, but I would suggest staying away from them. Many customers - particularly on newer vehicles - have a lot of problems with their vehicle after installation. Check engine lights, stalling, uneven power band (intermittent fading and/or surging), etc... Many customers removed the product and regret purchasing it. That being said, a few customers have a positive experience and are happy with their purchase. They claim to be able to feel a difference in horsepower. I've yet to hear results on a JK install, so good luck if you choose to go forward with it.

(FWIW, Jeep and Chrysler installs have the highest complaint rates, whereas Ford drivers tend to have very positive results).

In my experience, higher quality programmers such as those made by Hypertech or Superchips are a far superior ECU tuning product. They cost more, but also work much better. I've never read a complaint from a customer about a power programmer. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a programmer available for the JK yet.

Intakes and exhaust systems can improve power, but keep in mind that most of the power increase is at higher RPM and is often accompanied by a drop in torque at lower RPM. You also get more engine noise with both, although a lot of people install these products for the increase in noise alone.

Also, I would purchase from Quadratec over AutoAnything in a heartbeat (I don't work for either). They're a bunch of Jeep enthusiasts and actually care about the vehicles we drive, whereas AutoAnything is trying to be the Walmart of auto parts. Supporting a company like Quadratec will ensure that they're around for years to come and continue to offer the wide variety of hard to find Jeep parts that they do.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Sad but true.

I put playing cards inside my rims with a clothes pin on the caliper. It sounds much faster now, just like my bike did back in the day.
I'm sure it my unwaivering hatred of ricer cars with tailpipes the size of an 18 wheeler exhaust that has ruined it for me, but I prefer a quiet exhaust. I mean really

Thumbs up

I just purchased a Jet Performance Module from them. It was delivered on time, and it was the correct product. $185 DELIVERED! By far the best price on this product when I bought it! No one else was even close! I'd buy from them again.

Boy this thread really got hijacked. Auto anything is fine I've used them several times with no problems, great prices and usually free shipping.
