Review on πŸš€ K&N Cold Air Intake Kit: Boost Horsepower for 2015-2019 Jeep (Renegade, Compass) 2.4L L4, 77-1565KS by Robert Espinoza

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The worst thing is that you can't see it, that is, the sensor.

Installed on 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. Usually K&N provides everything needed for a smooth installation, but this was anything but smooth. I understand a lot myself. The way to connect the PCV and temp sensor is a joke, just slide them through the rubber grommet, they face down. Heat, vibration, shock all help pull them down, I think at some point the temp sensor will fall out because it's only held in by a rubber grommet. The worst thing is you can't see it so the sensor could be dangling right now and I wouldn't know. Clamping the plastic PCV elbow through the rubber grommet and pushing the air temp sensor through the rubber grommet is what I would expect from a cheap Chinese air intake, not a K&N. They had to fabricate an intake pipe to fit the PCV and pick up the air temperature sensor. MPG - no difference in the last 3 tanks of gas power increase? Maybe a little bit. Shifting seems smoother. Yes, I did a KAM reset. The intake is much quieter than I thought, in normal driving and on a flat freeway at 70-80mph you hardly hear it unless there's a headwind, even then it's not that loud. If you accelerate on the freeway or drive uphill, you'll hear it pretty loud.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Lots of Stuff
