 About the intakeThe cold air
intake allows the Jeep's 3.8L V6 to unleash a
bit more of it's hidden horsepower by increasing
the air volume being drawn into the engine.
This is accomplished by using a free flowing air
cleaner element and a redesigned intake tube.
Details
This system
features a full length intake tube that draws
through a totally redesigned Cool Air Dam. This
combination yields a claimed additional 24
lbs/ft of torque (at low rpm) and an additional
14 Horsepower, a plus for all off-road
enthusiasts. Intakes are designed to isolate the
heat of the engine away from the air inlet,
taking advantage of the dense cool air from
outside the engine compartment.

Impressions
The
Airaid brings back the old "flip-the-aircleaner"
sound. Under hard throttle use the intake
makes a deep throaty sound which can be viewed
as annoying by some. The Airaid seems to
increase the performance of the Jeep. Most
noticeable is the bottom end of the engine's
power range.
