Works but difficult to install

It's not just a screw on a part. I had to re-drill 3 holes and the hood would not close with the seal installed without height adjustment. After installation it works perfectly.

Pros
  • Handy part
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Worked great in dust/mud

A friend of mine has one of the greased ones and was having problems with the power supply. His filter looked like dirt. Mine took the dust off, there was no dust in it and I knocked the dust out of the tire until I could clean it at home. The air was thrown inside out and then soap and water.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

90 Jeep Cherokee Limited I6

Nothing to complain about as this system is not designed for my 90 Jeep. I got it working though. WARNING! You're losing gas because it's so fun to hear the whistling sound that comes from accelerating quickly. As far as fuel consumption goes, I drive normally, I haven't checked yet.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • old

does not fit my XJ 99

I like the looks and among many other things it has given my XJ more power and torque but I gave it 4 stars because it did not directly fit my 99 xj and i had to cut about 1 inch of the metal plate to fit under the hood and it still rubs a bit on the inside of the hood! Otherwise it was a good buy considering the price.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some issues

Great shot - Terrible heat shield.

I ordered this for my 1998 Cherokee and I am not happy with the result. First, the heat shield is too high and doesn't allow you to close the hood of the car. Second, the third bolt hole didn't even line up exactly with the hole in the wheel well. The small perforation hole is too small and will rub on the power steering line while driving, causing a terrible noise while driving. 1) The shield is too tall 2) Poorly made: Holes and nicks are an inaccurate fiction. I've noticed a big improvement…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some bugs

This kit will NOT fit a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 directly

As some other reviews have noted, installation is a problem. Not only did I have to trim the metal heat shield down a bit (didn't fit to close the hood), but the hose in the valve bleed kit was 5 inches shorter at the end (had to trim my old air hose, which I didn't do and use that as an extension) . Discussable at performance level as always with CAI. I have more traction at high revs (I think when driving freely) and a more aggressive engine sound. Can't comment on MPG yet but I think with a…

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • Gotchas
