Install wasn't bad.. I have to run down the road to get a different coupler.. but I got it on, and I can really feel the low end a lot when I take off.. went down the road where my jeep normally downshifts to 3rd to get up the hill, but it stayed in OD and held my speed pretty good...

I believe its 53032837AB... I put it on my 07.. it should work through 2010.. also depending on what air intake you have you may have to run to an auto parts store to get a rubber coupler.. I have an air-raid so I had to get a 4" to 3" coupler... its pretty easy.. unbolt the factory and bolt up the new one... use the same bolts...
