Air Intake Kit

[Struth]

Someone, please tell me why I shouldn't fit this



Cause I'm having kittens just thinking about it and I don't care much for cats - I like manuals, dogs and fitting shit I don't need.

River crossings, otherwise do it. It will improve your life.

Because now the cats out the bag you just won't sleep until you got one

If the laws are the same as in NSW, pod filters are suppositly illegal unless its factory fitted and the blue boys will ping you for it..... But they have to see it first...Lol...

I'm not sure about the rules in Vic with regard to pod filters but I guess I should find out first, then again it's not a big deal to uninstall except for the holes in the firewall

perhaps I should go for this one but the price diff is huge - https://www.quadratec.com/products/17008_102_07.htm

Not sure what the perceived benefits are - the stock air box can flow more air than the engine will ever need and will the pod filter air as effectively as the stock element? (Not sure, just asking).
Also you haven't filled in your 'garage' details but if you have an early TJ with aircon fitted high up on the drivers side, there may not be room to fit the 'baffles'.
I'd be nervous just driving in the rain with that

Thay say you can achieve up to 10 percent with a well designed cold air dam, I'm no expert but I think I'll pass, ...I've had water splash over the windscreen in mass fording deep crossings in the Vic high in both my TJ's, the stock air box has never let me down... so there's that

It's a valid point and as I understand it there is a lotta math involved in the volume/area = how loud the intake sounds and can add horsepower in the mid-range

"A modern engine with valve overlap will naturally have a dip in the torque at about a third to a half the red line rpm. if the air box is tuned to have minimum resistance to air flow at this rpm, the dip in the torque curve will be partially filled in by the ease of pulling air into the engine."

so that's bad ^ if attention has not been applied with respect to the engineering of theses products to address this and how much of it just gimmicks.

Yep, (2001 33'10's 3" lift) correct - another $200+ rerouting that.

perhaps, but they seem to have accounted for that by not sealing the cold air duct, I can't help but dream about buying it and modding it into the stock airbox like a minny snorkel lmao, truth is, either way, you would reduce your water fording abilities in comparison to the OME airbox,

This looks cool
This is cool ...

Talked out of it but I STILL want more power and I WANT IT YESTERDAY!!
