Default DIY Intake....>>

I had this Apexi Dry filter lying around with nothing to put it on until the Jeep arrived... Took an aluminum pipe, turned the ends to mate with the stock intake tube and a silicone adapter for the Filter, Put a breather bung in it and powdercoated the whole thing black. A simple bracket and it was ready to rock! Need to build a heat shield yet, but overall it feels and sounds great! Mileage is up in a short test, and breathing is very obviously enhanced...Total outlay, about $85....

Other than that looks good!
Thanks...This was just done with stuff I had on hand....I'll probably refine it some..
