Default K&N Intake System

Does anyone know when the K&N Intake system will be available for JK's? I've seen the AEM and the Airraid systems, but I think I'll hold out for the K&N.

Wow! In that case, I may reconsider the AEM system. Does anyone know how the quality and performance of AEM systems have compared to K&N and other systems in the past?

AEM is _the_ leader in sport compact air intakes, and with the advent of their brute force intakes, have gained immense popularity in the truck & SUV world.

Hey guys, I just ordered the AEM Brute Force Air Intake System for my JK, just now hearing about the K&N system coming out soon. Is this the right call on the AEM or should I cancel the order and hold out for the K&N or other up coming product? Will I gain any performance by waiting for these other intake system?

I have no personal experience with either brand with regards to a JK but I had a K&N and I wasn't impressed at all with it. AEM gets more talk then the K&N..............

Here is a review on one installed on a TJ with a Dyno Test:

had a K&N on my tj and liked it.just put a airaid on my jk and it help the whole range of rpm but it also seemed to made better then the K&N for the tj maybe the new K&N for the jk will be made better?Why the airaid you ask.K&N not out yet and better dyno #s vs the AEM.also thought the cold air dam looked better on the airaid plus $25.00 less.

Are all the AEM's oil-free now or just some of them?
