Considering doing an intake and exhaust upgrade. I’m curious if there is any 3rd party data showing any performance or mpg increases from any of the various intake and exhaust upgrades? Thx.

LolVery likely that you’re about to get flamed.
Pick out your exhaust and intake based on what SOUNDS best to you. There are negligible performance gains to be had.
2.0L or 3.6L?Considering doing an intake and exhaust upgrade. I’m curious if there is any 3rd party data showing any performance or mpg increases from any of the various intake and exhaust upgrades? Thx.

Restrictive exhaust was a problem 20 years ago... but in the chase for each and every fraction of a mpg, the easy stuff has been done already.I would also like to see independent testing. Just because i am curious, but it is a Jeep and not built for speed. Not many want to spend money on a before and after dyno for a slow ass brick. Let alone another $400-$600 on a tune to get the most out of them.
But i have seen lots of cars on the dyno before and after intake and exhaust mods, including my own cars. Generally you will get in the 20rwhp range with an intake and cat-back. Most of that in the exhaust is due to restrictive mufflers to keep the noise down.
I disagree, they have to think about the consumer and sound. Most people don't want to hear the exhaust. Tuner shops are full of brand new cars ripping out the stock exhaust for extra HP.Restrictive exhaust was a problem 20 years ago... but in the chase for each and every fraction of a mpg, the easy stuff has been done already.
3.62.0L or 3.6L?
Not much possibility for more power with simply bolt ons. With the 2.0 once tunes come out is should be different.
I have seen several dyno sheets for intakes from manufactures. Most people dismiss them because they believe they have been embellished to boost sales.The fact that no sponsors here who sell an intake or exhaust won't post dyno charts speaks volumes. Wouldn't a manufacturer want the world to know if their parts made horsepower over the stock item? I would.
