ALL BS HYPE. I have had 4 different setups on the KJ testing them in real world applications. None do any better than what the stock setup does EXCEPT for the current mod that I have which is a 3 inch hose running from the grill to the stock box.

Do you really want to be caught in traffic or out going 1.5 MPH on a trail drawing all that hot air in??? Think about it. While it does seem cool to listen to, it doesn't work. By the way my testing was done for several thousands of miles on each system and with each mileage never jumped up any at all really some even dropped with CAI well supposedly cold air.

The only thing that may really work that I have not done yet is to mount the filter in the ARB out where there is cool air and run the hose into the intake from there

While I don't trail or ever plan on trailing how fast your going won't effect the intake anyway in a non ram air style setup. It's more the load tps% and rpm that will affect intake flow.

I must of been born yesterday I know what are saying but what you are not understanding that while driving in traffic or anytime going slow you are sucking nothing but hot air, not good for a engine to run well. 40 years of working on engines and I guess I still know nothing about air intakes

I don't ever doubt anyone's knowledge as you never know what a person knows especially threw the internet but I have to disagree. I am new to jeeps and will take most info I get as the gospel till I know any better or can prove it wrong but when it comes to intakes and the workings of induction I'm pretty well versed myself The stock intake is setup to draw air in from outside and direct it into the intake. This is obvious to even a nooB. With this style intake, which again I have on my jeep right now, it draws mainly hot air from right above the intake manifold/heads. Hot air less dense air aka less oxygen and thus making the engine more prone to dentonation. This intake only comes forward from the TB maybe 10". That being said the air that is entering the engine bay while moving that would give you the advatge your speaking of is irrelevant because the intake is so far toward the back of the engine bay by the time that cooler moving air gets back there it's already about the same temp as the rest of the air. Not to mention the intake pipe is literally almost untouchable after about 10 miles no matter if it's highway or stop and go traffic so even if cooler air was getting all the way to the filters it's being heated up QUICK by the intake pipe. The only way I could see moving being a factor is like I said if some sort or ram air setup was being utilized like you said with a hose running to the grille opening. I'm not trying to educate you but while i'm no big shot car guy I know enough about certain things to speak on them.

I agree because the engine compartment is not air tight obviously if you could take reading from where these filters are in this intake vs moving and not moving and then somehow read the signal from the IAT sensor I would bet that they are closer than you would think. I'm am all about every last hp to on my track car I have a funnel style ram air to get every last bit of power and I have a standalone engine management setup that lets me monitor things just like this and make changes based on those readings.

Having the open air filter sitting right on top of the exhaust manifolds will only suck in ultra hot air,the OEM box is more then enough flow of cooler outside drawn air.The temp reading will be vastly different and I can prove it via the IAT sensor which I have many ways to read,the best is the CRecorder($80) since it will record all data for 24 hours of KOER info that you can then look at your trip stats on your labtop after a drive.

Oh I agree like I said this intake does NOT get cold air by any means. Short rams are designed to flow more not cooler air. Velocity is usually higher in a short ram intake and with this kit and the duel filters it must be sucking enough hot air in fast enough that it compensates for the temps. My only debate was the moving factor making a difference with this intake one way or another. I have always been a real world guy not a theory or statistic guy. IN a nut shell this intake works. A good drop in K&N is not much less then this kit and i your really adventurous you could extend the pipe on the passenger side to the K&N location and put a heat shield on and then turn the other side into a filter with hose leading to the front grill and make a dual cold air intake..hmmm might just do that see if it performs any better.

i hate to get into this conversation but i put a K&N cold air intake (with a plastic tube and "heat shield" on mine with a flowmaster muffler at the same time and noticed a very large difference and a solid 2-3 mpg increase. this is not dyno proven but i knew/know how every gear acts in my KJ and i can tell there was a increase in low-mid RPM's and it acquired guts in 6th gear it never had.
