need input - thinking about intake system for my rubicon, but can't figure out which one to get. I had a k&n in my old car and it was good to me - but i am up for suggestions. Thanks

 

Fab one up with a $20 air filter from Autozone. It works about the same as the factory made ones for alot cheaper!

 

I just fab'd one up last night....

APC "universal" cone filter from AutoZone - $24 (fits 3-5")
90 degree 3" flex elbow - $8
5" piece of 3" black PVC dwv - $3
45 degree 3" street elbow $2
3/4" hose barb $1

Drill a 5/8 hole in the middle of the 5" pvc for the hose barb/breather...drill or cut a small hole in the flex elbow near the throttle body for the air sensor...that's about it. I have it temorarily mounted with 6ga ground wire - haven't decided to use the rubber boot/flashing or trash can method to finalize it. Let me know if you want pics.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing pics. I'm going to fab my own and I love to see what other people have done.

 

Hope to have the heat shield done this weekend....either cut up a plastic trash can and use weather stripping to seal to the hood or a roof vent with a rubber boot.

 

Is the end of your air filter open?? It sure looks like it from the picture, maybe the end is sealed internally.

 

yep - it's sealed internally....

 

good ol plumbing parts

cheap and easy

could make a snorkel like that too for cheap

 

isn't there some issue about pvc giving off some kind of chemical under heat that can cause you sensor problems?

i thought i read that somewhere before.

 

I read that too. I've been debating using the autozone/pep boys build it yourself kits. they seem to have all the pieces/bends you could possibly need
