Default Cold Air Intake & Dust

Seeing in how there are many different types of CAI available on the market today I wanted some opinions on here about what works best for you or others that you have heard from. I work on a farm so it is pretty dusty most of the time and I have heard before that CAI don't do well around dusty environments (correct me if I'm wrong on that).

Def. go with a dry CAI (Like AEM) and run a pre-filter, that would be your best bet. Stay away from oiled.

Good stuff. Is AEM the only ones that do the dry filter?

Not the only one but def. the best. AFE is also a dry filter.

Considered a snorkle?

Snorkles are used around the world for dusty conditions far more than the deep water crossings we associate them with.
I believe ARB has new top specifically for extremely dusty conditions.

I haven't been considering one but it couldn't hurt to check it out

With a snorkel you can use a pre filter for dusty conditions, and run a high flow drop in filter in the stock airbox

This is my first jeep but it is also my 12th vehicle. I've had a turbo mustang, vw gti, wrx and an expedition with CAI's on them. The Cold Air intakes only seem to help with the turbo cars. The naturally aspirated cars did not seem to benefit at all with regards to fuel economy and power. I would suggest a drop in filter from K&N. They have always done me right and thats what im runnin in my JK now. You could go with a dry Afe if you don't like the oiling part. You can pick up a drop in for 50 to 60 bucks and with routine maintenance they should keep your Jeep engine happy and healthy for a long time.
