Wanting to get cold air intake is the mopar one a good one

 

I would stray away from CAI's with metal pipes. Also, while an aftermarket CAI may be less restrictive its all about supply and demand. I don't think a stock engine demands any more airflow than the stock setup provides.

 

I guess my thought is these are meant to meet emissions more than anything so some light mods might help out?

 

I have 13 JKU and I put a mopar unit on, sounds really nice, don't know about any horsepower increase, but my mileage has gone up between 1-2 mpg

 

Any comments are much appreciated

 

You hit the nail right on the head.

 

Ok...here is my thinking.

With the scrutiny that Jeep is under to meet emissions standards...don't you think that if they could produce a significant increase in mpg by simply adding a CAI which costs them almost nothing to make then wouldn't they just make it standard rather than making other significant costly changes

CAI and Catback exhausts are 99% show and 1% go

 

Not if that screws up the emissions
Emissions is a group by the numbers game if the reduce here they can up over there

 

I'll say that I want a cold air intake but just for looks and sound only.

I actually have the Mopar CAI since you're asking about that specific one. The fit and finish are good, it adds no actual power, mileage, etc.. Looks good and I like the sound.
