That's not a bad look but no, I wouldn't cut for it. Now that rugged ridge sema intake would be tempting.

I too am thinking about getting this... Drawing cooler air from the outside would be beneficial IMO. No you wonāt see crazy HP, or torque gains, but I think you would see some better throttle response. There is a reason cowl hoods, ram air intakes exist THEY DO WORK. This is NOT A SNORKEL, the snorkel runs up the A pillar, cold air intakes and snorkels are vastly different; they both draw air from the outside but a snorkel is up higher, thus the tubing is longer so you wonāt see any performance gains, whereas a CAI is shorter and brings cold air in via a shorter path... this is why there is so much bad information on forums people speak with no knowledge, or expertise... Why? If you donāt know why just why put false information out there???
P.S. Why do you have to call someone a fool for wanting a product for his Jeep? I love the Jeep community, but there are some serious aholes that share opinions that are unnecessary and unfounded...
That's what she saidHow much deeper are you able to get with the snorkel installed?
Sure but the difference between drawing in 80 degree air vs 150 deg air like you get under the hood is the real diffference.I think from a technical point of view, CAI and snorkel would restrict airflow more than help it. If there is anywhere a bend in the path of airflow you create more pressure, plenty of bends in a snorkel as far as I can tell, and longer travel. Difference in temperature should be negligible, especially if you live in colder climates like me..
Still looks bad ass though..
A snorkel is the only true CAI as it draws air DIRECTLY from outside the hood. The bends have little affect if at all on the performance gains it provides. Its cleaner, cooler air going directly into the engine. Now, I am one person who sees the benefit in intakes provide the filter element is of high quality and proper steps are taken to prevent heat soak. Im not sure how I feel about this Mopar one. If Im cutting a hole in the hood, Id probably just do a snorkel and be done with it. However, I have no plans of fording that much water where a snorkel is justifiable, at least not yet.I think from a technical point of view, CAI and snorkel would restrict airflow more than help it.

Why are toxic comments like this all over this forum? This is a Jeep enthusiast forum...if you are going to spread crap like this all over go somewhere else.I dont think the mall has water that deep, your fine with the stocker...
I did mine and it was no problem. Just take time and it will be OKMy Mopar snorkel arrives today. I put the stock intake back on and took the K&N I had off. Selling it locally. I'll be cutting the hood of my 2 week old jeep, pray for me lol
Exactly! Iāve never done anything like this before and Iām proud of myself for not screwing it up lol! Came out great!I did mine and it was no problem. Just take time and it will be OK
