Did this back in '17 on my JKU blog. Adds a growl, possible increase in noise with a K&N drop in, and retains factory intake and water ingestion safeguards. Removes the narrowing seen on the factory crossover, probably only matters at wide open throttle.

Chrysler/Jeep DOES NOT put anything on a vehicle unless it has some sort of intended engineering purpose and needs to be there (in their minds/research). In the case of those dangly bits,( Buffel Tubes/Chambers on the intake pipe), those are Helmholtz Tubes that reduce/ cancel out resonance/noise in the intake. In Chrysler/Jeeps opinion/research, grandmothers, little ole men and ladies, business people etc. that buy jeeps, don't like the intake growl that WE the people LOVE.. So, those chambers are added to cancel out that intake noise. Maybe the EPA had some noise reduction say in the matter. SAD! Who Knows?. YES, removing those chambers, will add back the intake sound that we like, remove a little intake restriction/turbulence and make the engine compartment look a little cleaner. Great job! IMHO, I cant say for sure that the chambers reduce intake air flow but, removal cant hurt for several positive reasons!

awesome video !

This would look great on my ‘08 JKU. The increased airflow will be nice.

Almost finished mine, already painted and ready to go.... Just waiting for the 90° elbow to come in and that's it. Nice mod!

Just finished this. Was as easy as he makes it seem. Only different choice I made was I mounted the sensor in the silicone elbow not the pipe. Kept me from having to source a grommet. 1/2" paddle bit and it fit nicely. Can't speak to mileage yet, but no CEL so far. Thanks Cole.

@@tonybolte02 Right. I just drilled the hole, cleaned up the edge and pressed the sensor into the rubber. No CEL, but no real mileage change either.

This mod really sounds good if you have a snorkel with K&N drop in air filter. I had to work the 90 a little bit more due to the previous owner installed a throttle spacer plate. I made up some brackets for the coolant overflow hose. I chose to paint the pipe green as that is the accent color. I have one of the million Granite Crystal Metallic JKU's out there so things like D rings, inner fender liners inserts and springs have been painted bright green to be different.

Use an AFE dry flow air filter no oil on maf sensor. Also abs black sewer pipe smoothed and debured doesn heat soak like aluminum it absorbs engine heat and passes along to incoming air.

I’m honestly not 100% sure anymore since it’s been a while, I just took the sensor to the store and sized it up to the right size grommet then grabbed a drill bit that looked about right lol

What size grommet is needed or part number by any chance ?

@CoastalWheels

4 жыл бұрын

Not too sure, I took the sensor to Home Depot and found one that fit

all you need now is to get a K&N drop in filter for your air box and you should pick up some more mpg. and power.

Every time I have used a K & N filter I have found dirt on the engine side of the filter. I ensure that I follow all the instructions to the letter so that it is installed right. And still have dirt on the wrong side of the K & N filter

I wish I did this instead of my cold air. Cheaper and still water proof. Oh well

Did your exceleration increase? Or better throttle response?

Maybe a little but it’s not really anything noticeable. More for the sound really and possibly a little gas mileage depending

I put a K&N intake and an open exhaust and got no MPG improvement. But if you did great. And if you’re relying on what the dash gauge says that your fuel mileage is you’re kidding yourself. Ya still have to divide the fuel into the mileage to get it straight.
