Nice addition to the replacement parts

A great 15 year old system that installed with minimal problems and was a nice addition to the '06 TJ 4.0L. You can hear it on launch and it seems to have improved throttle response.

Pros
  • DOES NOT VOID THE VEHICLE WARRANTY
Cons
  • Almost OK

Works better than expected

I was deeply impressed with this system considering how cheap it is in comparison! With everything needed for installation and good instructions. You will need a 3 inch hole saw. Sounds amazing when you sit in it. My old rattling 4.0 engine woke up immediately with throttle response and sounds vicious when I sit on it. I am impressed

Pros
  • HIGH PERFORMANCE AIR CLEANER: Advanced oiled synthetic filter design protects the engine from harmful contaminants
Cons
  • Great price

Subtle air intake on a 50/50 rig

Installed on 98 TJ with no problems. Save time and visit the Specter website in advance for installation instructions. The installation took about three hours and worked at a slow pace. I don't know about the power increase, but under the hood it looks good. Not much intake noise compared to the old Specter intake setup. The hardest part was cutting a hole in the firewall. Measure twice!

Pros
  • ENHANCED ENGINE SOUND: Hear the power under the hood.
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Poor fit on main blower

Availability Terrible installation - the bends on the pipe from the throttle body to the filter are incorrect, causing this pipe to make contact with the hood. If you don't want to cut pipe and purchase additional urethane couplers/elbows, proceed with caution or avoid this consumption. I had a previous "Cowl Intake" from Specter with no problems - not the case with this one. UPDATE - After Specter was contacted, they sent a complete replacement kit. I would say that the level of customer…

Pros
  • IMPROVED TOWING: Improves acceleration and climbing performance when towing with improved throttle response.
Cons
  • Update
