BUT the hidden nugget shows up at the lower RPMs where we look to do better than stock...

ALSO, we have not noticed any bad affects on MPG.... Tire pressure looks to affect it more than the snorkel.

Please look over the numbers and let us know your thoughts -GOOD or BAD...
Congrats on the test results!
I'm excited to install this on my JKU! Let us know when we can order.

This thing is paning out to be as cool as I imagined it could be. Very excited to see this on my Jeep. All I'll need is the low mount so I can see my intake, good to see that as an option.

Yes.... after the current 2007-2011 is in production. As stated it will require a revised lower air box (Jeep changed 1 mounting point) and a new aluminum intake tube.

May look into an additional aluminum intake tube from the top section of the air filter box to the intake. Will see if this improves airflow for the 2012 and up.
The way the current tube hard mounts to the radiator may not allow it to connect with the relocated top section of the air box housing.

Thumbs up Rhd

Great progress, so close to being released!

In terms of engine layout, is it capable of being installed in a RHD JK?
If so, wouldn't be bad being possibly the only one in NZ rocking your guys snorkle.
Would love to have it on mine
