Add a snorkel to your stock box and K&N drop-in....works just as well if not better than my Air-raid CAI system I had before I replaced with my AEV snorkel and AFe drop-in filter and you get the protection from deep water.

Ya, performance is noticeable. I had to down shift for this one hill in my neighborhood, now I don't. I think it helps with the throttle response so I get my rpms up quicker. It sounds awesome, gave my quiet JK a little more of a voice. Some people say there CAI will whistle but maybe that's cause they did not tighten it enough or something... No whistle here. Warranty is good it's a mopar product just like any other part they sell... I got it from the dealer. Very happy with it, easy to install.

Awesome. Do most dealerships carry it? How much did the dealership want for it and how much did they change for install?

Every jeep dealer can get it, you can get it online also... It's soooo easy to install... Really. I'm no mechanic! An hour tops... If your brand to jeep and never used a wrench... Actually you'll only need a ratchet and a screw driver... I think it was just under 300 maybe $200-300 I forget.

Also my MPGs went up!

Did any of those sensors need to be moved?

Do it yourself & put the extra $$$ you save in your pocket for mods or fuel and this way you get to know your jeep more! It will take about 1-1.5hrs to remove your stock box and install the new CAI system. Just remember don't throwout the stock box and intake if you are considering a snorkel down the road...you will still need this!

Why not buy a used CAI for half the price? There's a practically brand new Airaid in the for sale section.

No censors need to be moved... I've bought a used cai before, almost always your missing a few nuts or bolts... It's hard to remove them All, but you can easily make it work.
