Cold air intake?
I was wondering how everyone feels about off brand cold air intakes? I am wanting to get alittle more horsepower out of my 2009 sahara unlimited without getting too in deep to purchasing a k&n filter kit since I'm graduating in may and need to save some money. Any thoughts about spectre or the homemade cold air kit option? Thanks.

i use the spectre as temporary. its a hot air intake. since it doesnt have a plastic shield to block engine heat.
The spectre will get you more power and better gasmileage when on the high way and have constant cool air coming in. but from stand still, it will be same, if not worse as the stock.
so i would say, either invest in an actual CAI or get a better filter for stock intake.

i personally, am on a budget. so im going with the MBRP. i test drove a jeep with one, and it sounded great. wasnt too loud, wasnt too quiet. was perfect. nice rumble to it.
