At best you're gonna get a 50-50 response from peeps.

The JK's already breath pretty well...well 'enuff that a CAI for the price aint gonna do squat but make it louder; Some say more prone to letting in water if you water cross. UNDoubtedly you will let more crap/dirt/debris in-- YES, even with a K&N filter-- lots of 'net stats on all the filters out there and guess what? The CAI's all run CRAP for filters letting micro debris in a LOT more than stock filters (which flow about the same, last longer) and they dont put a $250-$350 dent in your wallet.

If it were me- I'd take it back and get summin' else. But as my buddy says-- its ALWAYS easier spending SOMEONE ELSES' money...............

I haven't really seen any user reveiws of the Trueflow unit. You may get some increased throttle response but don't expect miracles. I would love to see your Jeep on a dyno after all this and see what the gains actually are.

So would I...... I'd soooooooo love to find one that actually was worth the money. About the ONLY thing that the OP said that caught m' eye is that he's installing the Gibson headers...........a combo I have yet to run accross in any of the charts/dyno tests...........

I noticed a slight increase increase in MPG when I added my Air Raid and Flowmaster.
