Title: Where to buy Cold Air intake Systems?
Post by: thayer03 on March 18, 2011, 04:48:22 PM: Just wondering who you have bought cold air intake systems from and how happy are you with them?
I am looking for one for my 2011 JK and my 2008 F150 Lariat 5.4L
Any info would be great!

Thanks!

Randy

If anything get a Superchip programmer for it, that's probably the most useful power adder you can really use on a JK.

If you want to SAY you've got more horsepower in a JK, buy a programmer, a CAI, and a freeflowing exhaust. ;)

Post by: apex on March 18, 2011, 11:05:28 PM: Way to NOT answer the first question.
If you want to buy a left handed screw driver OR a cold air intake for your Jeep you should try:
Mopac Auto Supply Ltd
130 16 Ave NW
Calgary, AB T2M 0H2
(403) 277-0101

Cost, liability, and filter maintenance of a CIA far outweighs any performance increase whether it be real or perceived.
Save your pennies now, you'll need afford filling up your rigs this summer....

Yeah replacing my engine when I hydro'd it was in the range of 8600 dollars..... :'(
Now I have a snorkel to keep water at bay.
