Default Most efficient CAI?

So I'm interested in getting a CAI but I have no idea what to get.

Any suggestions?

Look at the Banks CAI, it is always at the top of all ratings.

ditto. i've been researching for a while and just ordered my Banks CAI yesterday. Of the few companies that have a CAI for the 3.6, Banks is the top (in my opinion).

I have the banks for about 6 months now and love it. I suggest getting a filter wrap for off roading

Yeah I've been looking at the Banks CAI too. Have you noticed any major torque and hp increases? Does the jeep feel like it has more ass behind it?
Thanks everyone

I have a banks CAI in my 09. By the seat-of-the-pants dyno, feels like it has a little more power. I got about a 1-2 MPG gain out of it too.

Got the volant for my 11 jk. Gas mileage up about 1. Makes some more noise. Looks cool.

I'm probably the only one, but I have an aFe and mileage increased about 1.5 with a seat of the pants increase throughout the range

I've got the Banks CAI and the sound and seat of the pants dyne have been pretty good. But I am really not a fan of how it mounts, I'd appreciate something that mounted a little more solid. When doing any water crossings I'm always leery of the opening near the front just something to consider.

I've ran the Banks Ram-Air kit for about three years now along with Magnaflow exhaust. Like the fit and finish. Sounds cool and has way better throttle responce over stock. I do switch back to the stock box when I know I'll be crossing some water.
