Intakes
If you are talking about cold air intakes they help a little. I would look for one with a dry type filter. Honestly the cheap ones will do the same job as the expensive ones. It is a tube and a filter...
definitely worth getting, as far as the $$$, shop around there are deals out there to be found...got my K&N for $200 shipped, my buddy got his for $50 used. You can feel the difference. Only negative so far is a whistling noise when you shift. It comes and goes. My buddy sounds like a turbo, annoying actually. I learned to ignore it specially with the hp and mpg gains. that's my .02
I bought the Airaid CAI with dry type filter about three monts ago. It was around $250. I bought it seperately. I did not install any other upgrade at the same time. I took the jeep for a drive as soon as I finished the install and I remember telling myself I could feel a slight difference. I think I like the open throated sound coming from under the hood more than any gain I may or may not have gotten. As far as any MPG gain? I did not really notice any change. I'm not trying to change the subject but if I was to do it all over again I would have spent the $300+ on a SC Flashpaq before I spent the money on a CAI. You will notice that difference and you should gain some MPG's.
Buy the parts from siliconeintakes.com and build your own... Or, do a custom snorkel/CAI..... Parts were (filter, elbows and clamps) were $115.... I now run it with a spectre performance in-line airfilter. I was averaging 15-15.5 mpg without it and running 32.5" mud countries and now I'm averaging the same with 35" KM2's... Much cheaper to do it yourself...
