The dealership can't void your warranty. Look up the magnuson warranty act. Many treads on this. You can sue the pants off them if they do. They have to prove that the Cai is what caused the problem if something breaks. If they try to tell you this shit. As soon as you mention the warranty act. The fix your jeep no questions asked.

Huh, I didn't even know that, I haven't personally had it happen as I try to use local shops and not the dealers if I can help it, just heard my buddies at work have that exact complaint when they tried it..., guess they got ripped off

Aem brute force dry flow. Roughly 40k miles and everytime I rub my finger on the inside of the cai pipe it's clean. That's pretty impressive filtering considering all the dirt/mud/water that filter has seen.

MOPAR CAI, installed in 2009. I can get up to 19.1 MPH on the highway.

Also have recently found a replacement Fliter by Spectra PN: 9345. $27 bucks.

I wash my filters 2 twice then chunk em.

It is still 90+ degrees down here. But with good cold air charge of 40 degrees or below I can get into the high 18's / low 19's on the highway.

I have the banks ram air. Easy to install. A decent growl upon acceleration. I did other mods at the same time and can't say if mpg increased. Overall no complaints with Banks.

I like my Banks. Maybe an extra MPG and I feel it's got a bit of a boost in power.
