[QBNKID]

Ben, that's a very custom set up you got there. And I believe is the only one like it out there.
I love the video, classic... "whoa Bessie" :D

[Marlin]

^^^ Yet you didn't say that you like it! lol - that's ok though, it's not for everyone :)

It's the only way I wanted to do a true dual and retain the spare tire. Took two solid days from memory.

Custom exhaust :ftmfw: That's why I chose to go custom myself :).

[Marlin]

Sweet! :D Thanks Mario! I haven't seen the pics underneath yours yet mate?

[Robert Palmer]

I swear to God that my setup is not as loud anymore.


Or I may be going deaf. :D

[Marlin]

They DO tend to quiten up after a few thousand miles mate. The soot deposits in the system smooths out the internal edges and takes the edge of the note.

[QBNKID]

Sweet! :D Thanks Mario! I haven't seen the pics underneath yours yet mate?You didn't see the link on post #5 then mate. All the pics are there ;).

I am currently working on a custom CAI until i can afford the K&N 77 Series intake for the 4.7. Gotta have my bling.

[dreamer1213]

Sounds great Kyle...just save that money you're gonna spend on that "custom" intake and spend it on the K&N....your stock intake will do just fine until then...

[NHWK05]

yea, figured that out already. I was gonna try to make a custom one last night with my old XJ kit i made but nothing was the right diameter to fit the stock air tube, back to the cabinet the parts went and i am waiting to buy the new kit when i have the money.

[dreamer1213]

Here's my latest...K&N 57 Intake, Flowmaster Super 40 duals..

Thanks Joey and Jerermy....I think so too!

Sounds good Scott...old setup?? What have you changed....ohhhh wait...I have to wait for the big unveiling riiiight? ;)

[Scottina06]

exhaust is still the same....

[dreamer1213]

Righhht...but what does those 4 dots at the end of the same mean? ;)

[NHWK05]

Thats sounds really nice, you have a sick WJ there. I almost did my side exit on both sides but when i had it done i didnt think it would look right but yours looks sick.

[Scottina06]

Hannes has one sick WJ!(but you should see the pic I have seen of him....A&F model if i've ever seen one!!!!) sorry Hannes! LOL

[Robert Palmer]

I forgot a pic of the engine bay. :D

Joe - What do you wipe down your tubes and everything under your hood with? Looks CLEAN under there...

Hemi Jon - That elec cutout/bypass is nasty!!! How great does that sound???

[Robert Palmer]

This is what I do Brad.

1.) Park Jeep. :D lol
2.) Let it sit for 30 minutes
3.) Cover up the CAI Filter and PCM
4.) Hose it down
5.) Spray Simple Green all over
6.) Rinse the Simple Green Off
7.) Dry off the Excess Water
8.) Spray Armor All (Spray Bottle, not the Tire Shine) all over the place.
9.) Drive it around the block a few times.
10.) You have a clean engine.



Oh and only clean the engine when you are cleaning the body also because some Armor All will get on the body, so you need to wash that off.

[NHWK05]

School me on K&N intake kits guys.

There is the 77 series Polished aluminum tube that apparently is crap cause it can reheat the air being a metal tube. BUT ITS BLINGIN.

The 57 series (i think) thats the typical every body has it intake.

What is this 63 series i have heard about? I can only seem to find it on auto anything .com adn only for the 6.1. What is better or different? Do they make it for the 4.7?

This is going to be my next major (well not major to do but $$ wise)mod so id like to choose the best one.

I really want the 77 series one though to brighten up the engine bay, as if i paint a plastic one body color its barely noticeable with dark khaki.

[Dylans3960ccs]

you paid attention to the badging and forgot that your tralier hitch plug is upside down. :lol:

[NHWK05]

I just ordered the AFE intake for my jeep 30 mins ago. I know i should not have done it but oh well.

I will have it tomorrow and install it.

[dreamer1213]

Why not K&N!?? ^^

[NHWK05]

Why not K&N!?? ^^


2 reasons, the K&N was almost $100 more (i bought it from my old work, an upholstery and accessories shop, see upcoming thread tomorrow) and i have the Cone off my old XJs K&N that i can always use if i dont like the AFE cone. The rest of it does not really matter, basically all the same. Tomorrow if weather is good enough for an hour or two i am going to spray paint the box for the CAI.


Here is the ? The intake i have is just like Scotts. Do i paint it to match the body which prolly wont get noticed as my jeep is dark Khacki or do i paint it bright silver? i have both colors on hand.


BTW, i painted the strut bar body color and you cant tell its not black b/c its dark under the hood. you have to look close to notice it.

[mon_21]

I forgot a pic of the engine bay. :D

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm183/crookster77789/777/Picture146.jpg

such a slacker, cant even clean his engine bay! LOL!

that looks great Joe!

[Robert Palmer]

The cleaning I do. I just can't install shit. :D

I would paint it dark khaki......or inferno red.....LOL

[mon_21]

Ohhhh thats right, I had it backwards.

[Scottina06]

I just painted the lid to the box and the arm too Kyle. I thought the box may get scratched installing it...so i left it the stealthy black

[NHWK05]

I would paint it dark khaki......or inferno red.....LOL


Well, here it is. I did it yesterday just had internet issues last night.

I only painted the lid because i have had issues painting plastic parts even when using the expensive plastic primer from SEM. i also painted teh strut bar a few weeks back, you can see where i got impatient before it was dry and the stuff on the hood stuck to it. self owned.

Ok, all you B Woody guys, where is the rest of the intake? Everyone that posts it only posts the plenium tube. Where is the filter/end at?

[nifty97z]

It is in the right front lower corner. :) And nice intake set up Tom!

Sounds awesome Tom...looking forward to that more amazinger catless vid!! :D

[dreamer1213]

I know how that goes....Harry and I drove the track a few week back...and its 1.5 hours away....got 2 runs in, and had to turn around and drive back home cause of the rain....

Another day tho!?

[Marlin]

Also update this alteration in my vehicle's thread, but here ya go:)

Removed my the muffler system we did about 18 months ago because I wanted it much louder;

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q301/bennythewoo/Jeep%20dual%20exhaust%20pics/OLDcentre.jpg

And replaced the section with Walker Mufflers of much smaller dimensions - sounds SWEET!;

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q301/bennythewoo/Jeep%20dual%20exhaust%20pics/Newcentreexhaust.jpg

Custom stuff FTMFW! lolol

[NHWK05]

Looks good, Now go make a sound clip for us. :D

[Marlin]

I plan to :)
It's Nasty! :D

[NHWK05]

I plan to :)
It's Nasty! :D


Sweet, I am re doing mine soon SRT style and i am praying and hoping it only sounds better then it is now and not any quieter. I am afraid that by going from such a short exhaust its gonna loose its great sound.

[Scottina06]

dude....do one similar to mine...it sounds so sick on the 4.7. But it could be the NEW mods I have making it sound so sick now............................................... ..........LOL

[Marlin]

SICK!!! lol :)

[Scottina06]

sick!!!!!lol

[Marlin]

Fawkinggg HECTIC maaaaaaate!!!!

[Megatron]

I enjoy watching these vids with my surround all the way up.

Now what do you guys suggest for the all mighty powerful 3.7 ? Lmao

[NHWK05]

dude....do one similar to mine...it sounds so sick on the 4.7. But it could be the NEW mods I have making it sound so sick now............................................... ..........LOL


Well, spare tire has been removed, trailer bezel has been trimmed and trailer wiring relocated. (see pic)

EDIT: lol just found this, though it would not work with my trailer hitch. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-SRT8-Stock-Exhaust-Three-Pieces_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el11 16QQhashZitem4cea28d057QQitemZ330346057815QQptZMot orsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories


I am going to get the same muffler i have now but with dual exit. then just run 2 pipes from the muffler, over the axle through the spare tire area and out the tips by the hitch.

I am sure the shop will help me out on alot of the decisions but i still dont know what a good diameter pipe will be so i dont loose volume or tone but still keep it good flowing. 2.25? 2.5? do i want 3? then i want to do 3.5" tips because i did a fake mockup with a 4" dia can and it look too big.

If i keep my current muffler and add a Y pipe it will cost $200, if i get a whole new muffler and keep my current exhaust to sell(thats what i am trying to do now) it will be closer to $400 installed cause its all custom bent piping.

4" tips will fit on each side, i think i want 3.5" tips, but i am going to rig a hanger that i can easily loosen with a wrench (i dont tow too often but i use my bike rack in summer) and drop one the tips down to put a hitch pin in.

I really suggest you get n srt exhaust....those bends over the axle are tricky

If thats why you suggest the SRT exhaust i am not worried about that. This shop as 2 enormous bending machines and everything starts out as a straight piece of pipe, And JB the guy that will be doing my exhaust is amazing at what he does, i dont think that will be a problem, especially since there are 2 factory hangers already right there.

This is the exhaust his apprentice did on my XJ.

On your WK I will just alert you about the rear sway bar. It moves ALOT more than ny of us think. We needed to mod my exhaust twice to get clearence. It wasn't noticable until out in the real world that it wasnt clearing the sway bar. We could replicate it on the hoist, so just had to continue moving the pipes until we had an extraordinary amount of clearence.

Just a heads-up for you bro :)

[Robert Palmer]

Hey Benny, if you want loud why don't you do what I did. Dynomax Bullet Muffler :ftmfw:

Duals will sound pretty sweet. :D

[Marlin]

Walker mufflers are pretty good too. And readily available over here too :)
The little mufflers we have on there now are basically one step up from a hot dog. So, there's just straight through baby, she has a note no worries :D lol

[hemi.jon]

cutouts ftw! http://www.dmhperformance.com/ecutout.htm thats what i did and i never looked back!

BINGO! trust me DUDE! Get a cheap SRT exhaust off the red site. You and your installer will thank me later! I thought the same thing you did......the first SRT exhaust i had and didnt get the section that goes over the suspension. It was a nightmare....cost me more money and would hit going over bumps etc. Save yourself some heartache and listen to me.....LOL!

Take my advice dude--------not trying to be a smart ass either. i really dont want ya to go through the expense.:thumbsup:

[Marlin]

Just took a quick vid fellas with my shitty still camera :)

Please excuse the cutting deck saw noise in the background, can't get away from that bloody thing when she's pumpin out hardwood boomerangs :).

I'm suprised more of you don't have your Jeeps professionally rust-proofed. I take mine to the beach fairly often, and it looks better than alot of your undercarriages. It only costs a few hundred bucks to get it done.

[Robert Palmer]

Sounds great Ben!!!!

[NHWK05]

It can be done at home with a pressure sprayer and some ATF and another oil i think, But it makes it a real pain in the ass to work on the truck ever. If you look at the pic its only the welds that rust, and edges of the seams. There is nothing under it that would need repair or attention any time soon, i check every time i have it on a lift.

[Marlin]

Yeah I understand that. Maybe it's a cultural difference?
Here in Oz it's very common to rustproof cars, mainly 4wd's. We tend to use fully drying preventers. some dry clear, some dry black, but they are designed to shield your truck from the elements. We spray inside rails and everywhere it's difficult to get a hose into after being on the beach. Because it dries hard, it's not messy to work on the car.
The days of spraying fish oil around it are thankfully long gone! :)

[Megatron]

Kyle, youre on a modding frenzy huh.

I hope your paypal and wallet are in good health lol.

[NHWK05]

Yea, i know its bad, I have not bought anything in a very long time.

I will have this all paid off in a few months though.

I should be starting the original job i was promised back in june soon but until i do i am still looking for other work. only reason i opened the pay pal credit account is its 3 months no payments.

Its all good, these were the two major things i wanted to get done before winter, everything else will sit on the back burner for now.

I still have to sell my stock wheels and tires once i get new tires later this year and i am gonna put my exhaust up for sale now. Hopefully i can make some money off selling them so i can pay myself back.

[tman4024]

Kyle, what kind of wheels/tires are you getting?

[NHWK05]

I bought a set of 5 2008 Wrangler JK sahara 18s and i am going to get 245/60/18 Yokohama Parada spec X's. See the visual and electronics section for the pics in my thread. (photo shopped pics)

Get the 304 stainless, which i think is the pro series... Wont rust like the others

they can be had for under 500, PM when you're ready and ill tell you about it

[SRTILL8]

question for yall exhaust'ers-

im going to do something with my exhaust in a short while and wondering which set up will get me the sound im particularly love.... the infinity (prob gonna get flamed for it but yup, i love that sound soo subtle and love the sound as it pulls away) dont get me wrong- i love borla esk' sounds too, im just leaning away from loud ass* exhaust on this jeep of mine. my XJ had one, my ZJ had one for a short while. this one, at least not right now.

heres a couple samples of what im looking to achieve somehow in the beast. surely im open to options. i just dont want to get too loud this time around.

I totally understand what your asking but IMHO, it will never happen. That is a totally different engine there. Dodge/jeep engines are known for having a deep burly get out of my way sound.

What your asking is like finding a kid with a honda that wants to make it sounds like a Subaru WRX STI. It will never happen.

Also, i would post this in the SRT8 section where more of your SRT brothers can give you better info. Good Luck!

[SRTILL8]

yeah i made thread right after posting it here. i should of emphasized that im was referring to the infinityFX50- thats a 5.0 V8** not the sedans or V6 engine they offer. was just trying to see if anythign new has been on the market since i havent messed with exhaust info's in years. ya never know right?
cheers though bro- appreciate it:thumbsup:

The E-Cutout, what in the world is that? I read about it but I'm still kind of unsure as to what it does! Can someone give me a little insight on this? Is this something I can put on with minor mods? I am really interested now. Also, aside from massive sound increase does it provide any horses and will this throw my engine light on? Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!

Sick bwoody bro!! I wish I could run a bwoody :( stupid canadian winters would **** up a bwoody :(

Oh well, I bought an airaid, hopefully I like it!

[08Hemi]

I loved my Airaid...great sound, nice heat shield and will def handle the harsh weather! I think you made a great choice...it totally helped with exhaust note, mpg's and engine sound! And it is A LOT easier to install and the woody!

And no I do not need more coolant...pics were taken in my driveway on a slight decline!

[mitchelm]

I have the Airaid for the 3.7L but I am not happy with the fit. Does not line up too well on the throttle body. The silicone reducer is also very sloppy over the throttle body. This may be diff for the 05-07. I had the airaid on my 2000 4.7L Dodge Durango and the fit and finish was top notch. In fact, the 5.7L airaids look great. I will post up some pics shortly.

Looks really good Kyle. I am trying so hard to find cash to get a nice K&N like Robpp so i can have a real intake. I want to paint the intake tube and the strut bar Plum Crazy Purple. Id also like to get all the anodized BT stuff in Plum Crazy Purple and a few other small things under the jeep/in the engine bay. (rear diff cover)

[White Chocolate]

it'll come bro, easy steps

[CherokeeOnToyos]

Is a CAI worth it? im about to buy a K&N CAI for $299.99 but idk If I should use the money for something else other than a CAI. Comments anyone? experiences...

[08Hemi]

^^ Build one yourself for $50-100 depending on how "all-out" you go. Seriously I made an intake for my 02 4.7L Dakota and it was great, and cost $70 for all parts including the $40 9" K&N...good way to save $$$

Quick question for everyone running the 4" bwoody cai. I was driving last night through a downpour and it got me thinking about the location of the filter on the bwoody.... I am running with the drycharger, but is it really enough protection against heavy rain, and furthermore will I be safe through the winter? I noticed when I felt the filter last night it does get a mist of water on it :/ Up here in the northeast the weather gets pretty bad this time of year and I don't wanna have any trouble with the intake. I opened the hood today to see what it looked like and it is filthy all around the lower portion of the tube and fender area from running dirt roads lately.... Should I put the stock setup back on or do you think I'll be alright with the bwoody?

You're definitely running the risk of hydrolocking. Lots of the guys from stormy areas opt against the bwoody for that reason. I'm not personally experienced with it, just what I've read on here before.

[ahamay115]

thanks for the response... anyone else got any input??

[trebliw]

thanks for the response... anyone else got any input??

Follow your gut feeling. If it doesn't feel right, then it ain't right. Swap it out during the wet season... not worth taking the risk. Besides, it shouldn't take that long right? But that's just me. Here in Detroit, I swap out my front bumper and wheels back to OEM. The salt and snow are crazy. I'm afraid the slush/ice build-up from the car in front of me will fall off and kill my bumper. Well good luck to you buddy!

I'm thinking you hit the nail on the head with that response LOL! I'm gonna return the intake back to stock for the winter months... definitely don't need to take the chance!

Thanks!! :)

[White Chocolate]

I live in Saskatchewan, I was going to go with a bwoody, but Im not going to risk it. I currently have an Airaid, however, I think Im going to go with an aFe Stage 2 intake

[4.whoa]

Are the polished metal CAI's (k&n and brute force) really that bad? I get that they will absorb some heat,but is the AFE for example that much better?

[4.whoa]

Bump :whistle:

[08Hemi]

all I know is that my BWoody filter def gets some "kick-up" from the road, but in SoCal we don't get the weather so I am not worried at all about hydrolocking. and it does get a little dirty, but I removed that "flap" to the inside of the passenger headlight, so that prolly doesnt help with the debris...but my DIY grille helps with large objects

My 4" bwoody (aluminum and powder-coated) IAT reads 2-3 degrees above ambient temperature, so that is really the main benefit! The sound is great too, but the extension of the IAT is really were the benefit is

I had an AIRAID and IMO that would be perfect for bad weather...I did not have my Trinity @ the time so I have no idea what the IAT reading was vs ambient temp

[4.whoa]

I see how the Bwoody's get cooler air, but drainage isnt so good here. My mj's had water up to the headlights on the way to work after a hard rain:eek: I like the bling of the polished tubes, was just wondering if there's really much difference in perf ?

[JeepKid]

Hey guys. I was looking into intakes for the 3.7 and know that airaid removes that air box that that the K&N leaves on. The problem is that it says it's for '05-'07 and I coldn't find anything for '08. Will this still work on a '08?

[FlyinRyan]

No it will not. I'm pretty sure the intake manifold is different, and the throttle body definitely is.

[JeepKid]

Really. I actually bothered to put 2008 in the search and it changed the results from '05 to '08 instead of '07. Lol what's goin on?

[JeepKid]

I know a while ago there were some thoughts going around that a 4.7 K&N might fit a 3.7. Did anyone ever get around to trying this? I'm just looking for something that will get rid of the upper air reso.

[CherokeeOnToyos]

try it haha, if it doesnt fit, sell it in the classified section.

[JeepKid]

I am thinking about doing this.

[JeepKid]

Well got tired of looking so I went with the K&N. Woo!

Well when you take it to the dealer for anything you tune it back to stock! ;)

[Dumesday4u]

i just got my airaid last week. i ordered the 05-07. like i was telling Ryan in a mail, the reducer that comes with airaid that connects from the plenum to the TB is bigger on the end that attaches to the TB. there is however that plastic that goes on the OEM resonator in the back and attaches to the TB. I squeezed the backside of the reducer into that plast from the resonator and then fitted that onto the TB. it takes a bit of tweaking and u need to reuse some of the old straps but it worked for me. you cant even tell i did that and i think it is worth being like that over having the resonator. i dont like any restriction esp. with a vehicle this slow.

[Dumesday4u]

i can do that with the diablo?


i am new to JG and to jeeps in general. i dont know the difference in most models and the products that are offered for them. i am sure whatever intake you get, you can tweak it to fit.

You quoted a post that was completely unrelated to your question.

Your warranty should not be voided with or without a tune. Yes you can remove it. Google Magnusson Moss act.

I havent found a answer on this....are the throttle bodies and CAI's the same for the 5.7 & 6.1?

[FlyinRyan]

I havent found a answer on this....are the throttle bodies and CAI's the same for the 5.7 & 6.1?

The throttle bodies are identical. As long as you get a TB off a LX/Jeep as the TBs from Rams and Durangos do not work on the car/jeep manifolds. Found that out the hard way.
