What is the best Air Filter out there for a jk?
I'm looking to buy and new air filter for my jeep but I can't really decide on what to get. A mechanic said i should get a K & N but another said I should get a AEM and there is a Mopar filter out there that looks tempting. Money is no problem so if anyone has feedback on a good air filter that gives great sound and noticeable difference in performance that would be awesome.

There are so many threads here about air filters, CIA, etc that I don't want to add to another.
Just do a search for "air filters" or "CIA's" and you'll come up with more information than you can shake a stick at.

In the end I bet they are all the same, I went with the True Flow XDI because of the foam filter instead of paper, very happy with it.

x2 on the TrueFlow.
Here's a clip of what it sounds like in a JK. Sorry I can't post a direct link, so you'll just have to copy and paste.

And here's a video about TrueFlow filters.

I think they sound awesome. And the tests in the second video really get you thinking about what's going into your engine. I'm still trying to decide if it's a gimmick.

As mentioned, a million threads on this if you search and have a few hours to read them
. I have the Airaid and I'm satisfied for what I invested in it (about $150), don't expect miracles from any air induction unit on the market though. IMO there aren't huge differences between brands, the only one I wouldn't get is the K&N due to their signifcantly worse filtering than the rest. That said I did run one for years on a Corvette I had with no issues.
