After reading as much as possible about the K & N air filter system for mileage and horsepower inprovement, I bought and installed one this weekend. I know, I know, don't go through deep water with it!!

Having said all of that, I put it on the KJ. I also have a free-flowing exhaust installed so with the two parts working together, it sounds like it means business.

My first road test had me grinning - It really does have a quicker throttle response with more "get off the line" startup horsepower. The top end seems better too. I am happy with my choice. Since I use my Jeep for a daily driver, I was looking for a little more freeway merging boost.

Final piece to be installed will be some NGK double-platinum plugs.

I will be watching for miles per gallon increases as well.

I had my cold air and Flowmaster installed about the same time. The first time you punch it to get on the freeway...that sound is just beautiful!

I put my muffler and Rustys air tube and K&N on within two days of one another and yep it sounds cool. I built own air box around the sides of the filter so I can go as deep as stock through water and still have the benefits of the K&N

Yes I would show pics if I had them have to do that some day

I will try this week end to fiqure out how to post pictures. Hard to believe that I have to use one of these things every day at work but still havent fiqured out how to do the picture posting thing.
Of course you will laugh when I tell you what I made the air box out of. Had an old computer sitting in the garage, took the case off one day, nice heavy metal, not too many cuts later I had it made. Pic are better than words so......will post soon
