I'm looking to get an intake for my jeep (4.0L) What is your opinion on brands (IE K&N, AirRaid Etc) What's the big differences if any? What would be better to get?
Thanks
Patrick

I'm looking to do the same for my 4.0. Problem is, no one seems to make anything for a 4.0 older than 91

I have an 91 xj with the 4.0 and I got a kit from Rusty's off road house ( www.rustysoffroad.com )... it came with two types of filter... the long one and the shorter one... I got the long one and would just have settled for the shorter one, if done again...
The kit comes with a coupler that hooks into your stock downpipe and the pcv valve and air intake and then the filter mounts on the other end...
You have to take your old filter box out and then this conversion piece mounts to one of the fender bolts....

I have a tj so it shouldnt be that hard, just dont know which is better or what the different brands offer.
Pre 91's had a different T-body and the only thing I cuold find was Rusty's that gets added to the end of the stock intake pipe. It helped alittle on my cherokee but nothing huge.
As for the different brands I had a K&N FIPK on my ZJ and thought it was great. I now have a AEM Brute Force onmy Ram and like it alot. I would go with the AEM version for the 4.0L for 2 reasons. 1. AEM metal pipe vs. K&N's plastic pipe: the metal may conduuct more heat but is much stronger and you will never crush it or have a bolt pull through it like with the K&N. 2. AEM's dry flow filter is reusable and does not need to be oiled after washing.....very nice and is actually more efficient than the K&N oiled filter.

Really in my opinion they are all the same,(if you want the full kit W/box, or or the cone filter adapter) except the price I would just go with airraid, or k&n and Im sure that one of the vendors could get you a good deal.

I sell by far more K&N's than AEM's, AirRaids, etc. I have a K&N on my personal rig as well.
I think like other say, it's all preference. I think they are all good. Do you want oiless? Steel rather than plastic? Etc.
For a 4.0 TJ, I sell the K&N version for $215 +tax/shipping. They are in stock and ready to ship...

I have a K&N on both my xj and my expedition... on the expedition I have troubles with the mass airflow sensor due to the oil on the filter... if I was to do it again I would get the oil less type...
If your check engine lite comes on after installing oil on your filter just use some denatured alcohol in a spray bottle and spray the sensor and then let it dry...

Ground is about $10 and a day or so out.
I don't keep an inventory, I'm also in the middle of finding a house in Spokane so I won't be around after Monday again.
