I believe the CAI would work on the 3.7 V6 as well...but we need some confirmation. I need a 4.8 V8 owner with the K&N Intake to meet up with a 3.7 V6 owner and see if the 4.7 K&N works on the V6. That should be proof enough. provide pics etc.
All interested in a TRUE CAI for their WK.....POST HERE NOW!
Price would be between $300 and $369. Bwoody also needs a volunteer near Edgewood, Maryland for test fitament etc. Please apply within---LOL
Always my concern when it comes to any intake that has any possibility for water contact with where i live. Engine compartment gets soaked at times. I am interested but hesitant. :thumbsup:
Yeah i mean i don't go through flooding that is up to the bumper or anyhting (close) but not quite. I also don't fly through flooding or large puddles like a tough guy not caring about my Jeep either. Its just normal driving.
That would be my suggestion to anyone concerned of water in the intake.
First of all you need to really soak an oiled filter to get it to suck up water, (i dunno what filter bwoody uses but i prefer K&N filters)
But adding a dry charger to it (usually offered with the places that sell bwoody intakes) then your good to go unless you plan on water fording. And if you live in a high flood area and drive through deep water on flood days, your just an idiot any way.
Does the Bwoody intake cone sit any lower then any other brand of filter? Where it would be more likely to get wetter vs say a K&N?
I for one am not worried at all about hydrolocking if I get this CAI. You can see how low my Mazda 6 is (other cars forum) and the filter of the AEM CAI is probably about 8-10 inches from the ground inside the drivers side fender, maybe even lower I will have to double check! ... Anywho.. I have never had a single issue with water in over 3 years of driving it with the CAI, you just have to have a different mindset when driving in the rain and through water.
I have also seen these mesh, net looking bags that go over the filter that are supposed to help with keeping dirt and water out of the filter, although I have never used one.
Well sometimes you go through low parts of your neighborhood that may have 2 feet of water to get to your house to sleep at night or do whatever you do at home. Its what happens when there's only one way to get to the house. Reasons for actions. :thumbsup:But i cant say its a regular occurrence.
I have yet to hear back from Mike, he is really busy at the moment, i gather. But i am planning on dropping it off on Aug 4th, and getting it back the 9th. expect a full write up on how it is no later than the night of the 10th.
Is this going to be limited to the WK platform? I don't remember if the air intake system is on the same side on WJ version of the 4.7 as it is on the WK version (drivers side on the WJ).
In anycase I would be ready to purchase one as soon as its available.
If I can provide any help I would be more then happy to, as I worked with K&N on the development of their FIPK for the 3.5L Inline 5 on the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon so I am famliar with data logging things such as the ST and LT fuel trims, etc. (It only took 5 revisions before we got to the production design )
me too....LOL. This K&N is ok....but its really noisey. I thought maybe something was loose....so i checked everything. I guess I was used to the whisper quiet AFE. I can feel more mid range power though.
