I installed an Injen CAI in my '13 Sahara and added the performance tune from a FlashPac w/ throttle adjustment. It made a world of difference and cost me less than $500. When I had some work done at a garage my mechanic told me the Jeep took him by surprise at how much quicker it was over other Jeeps he's taken out. I can't imagine my Jeep without one now. I also have a prefilter but I haven't installed it yet. Love your videos and your Jeep man!!

Holy shit he installed a cold air intake in CALIFORNIA????? Careful Jason, they might be coming to seize all of your vehicles now! 😂 great video, definitely going to get one now

Great video, I was learning and laughing at the same time. Once again thanks for all your videos

I installed a Spectre cold air intake on my dodge ram 1500, 2008 4.7L, I have not been disappointed with it yet. I have actually seen an improvement in my gas mileage and greater acceleration, but it does lag at a certain point. Overall great video as usual, love the Ram!

I put a s&b intake with the dry filter on my 2013. nice throttle response and you definitely can hear the intake system now. plus S&B stands behind their product and if there is ever a warranty issue they will cover the bill. After a 3k trip including really dusty roads. Pulled off intake from throttle body and and no dust was present in the body. Very nice filtering job. Great video Jason

You always do such a great job. Thanks for the info and making it a bit funny!

Nice install. Looks good!

another great content! Love it!

I have been looking at getting a "cooler air intake" for my Jeep, so its good to see that they do work. I also had a nice chuckle when you were talking about the design of a Jeep being "quiet"

Another great jeep video, keep it up !

Great video! Love getting ideas for my Jeep!

Great details and very knowledgeable. Great video 📼.

You were NOT kidding about that trim piece being a pain. Longest part of the whole install!

Great video as always.

Thanks... it is a great video and you're right I have the same system on my JK and it feels great...

Great review this great upgrade I been wondering about . Be next worth while investment . Thanks Jason !

You didn't even get the Blazer dirty!! Nice job great video!

I have been watching your videos for awhile now, the funny thing is half the upgrades I have done were because of your videos and the other half I have done on my own and a few weeks later you have a video out on the same thing lol power stop brakes, flow master exhaust and cold air intake, 37s, metal cloak lift, manual trans, full metal armor around all sides, side by side our Jeep’s are practically the same minus the looks/accessories lol

Love the intro!

i give you credit for staying in character. LOL... I had an early K&N intake on my 3.8 JK. I took it off. The "cool rumble" sound of acceleration was so loud, it resonated inside the cabin. I couldn't carry on a conversation with my wife. It got old, real quick. Went back to the stock intake. This weekend, I'm putting on a copy version of the AEV snorkel. Why? Because I can. Thinking I'll do a video of it if time allows. I currently have a Diablo Sport Trinity tuner. Thought about HP a while back, but they didn't have support for my Jeep back when I looked. Nice that they do now. I may go that way some day. Might be nice to have with my '15 Ram as well.

The video was worth it for the Adel clamps alone!

Great vid and great detail. A lot of folks have already said what I was thinking. Oiled filters aren't the best for dusty environments and I worry about water crossing with that design. When i installed my TRD CAI on my 17 Tacoma, Toyota gives you a wide open 'mouth' piece to replace the stock fender intake piece. However, the diameter of the mouth piece was the same except the stock one was shrouded 180* on the bottom side to prevent water intake. I left it since i felt the protection from sucking in water was of greater value vs. the 1cfm (assuming) of more airflow. Be neat to see a snorkel test next after some time with this setup.

great video buddy. I can even tell a slight difference in mine, but I do run a jet chip and hiket throttle body controller which makes the jeep shoot out like a rocket. great job, Erik wva jeep community.

Great video, looking in to this also.

Lol "do science " I don't know why but that made me laugh. Needed that thanks.

Great video, thank you!

Nice big nose in the garage. Great video and information. Thank you.

Whoa, it's like an episode of engine masters without the dyno. Look at all those numbers 👍 love that I just saw this after seeing the trail to sema video

I haven’t commented on ur videos in a while. Great video 👍

Good video as always. Thanks Jason. I'm excited to see what the capabilities of the HP tuners software is, I'm on 40s now and running 4.88s. I'm hoping to see what I can do save for forced induction to get the Rubi alittle more pep around town. On the trail it works perfectly fine however.

Good sport, keeping that blazer on through the whole video.

Great video. Something I notice that you did not mention, was how to clean a paper filter. Some of people that watch this video. Probably have never cleaned a paper filter. With that in mind, I think it's worth mentioning this helpful tip. When and if they decide to clean their filter (regardless whether it is paper or a rechargeable K&N style) out with an air hose they will want to.blow the air from the inside towards the outside. As opposed to blowing from the outside in, this will prevent from pushing the dirt further into the filter. Other then that one small detail good video. I like the way you made it comically in some spots. Little stuff like that helps too take some of the anxiety out of putting parts on your vehicle. Thanks for a great review and installation.

I like how well a blazer works with a jeep hat.

Great choice running a dry filter. Only thing to in the desert.

Very Much enjoyed the extra sillyness in this video. 72° Is a huge win! I use K&N filters in both my Broncos and have had MPG gains every time I've installed one. But I have noticed the oil does travel through and gunks up my MAF sensor. MY Bronco that uses a MAP sensor hasn't had the same issue.

You get a thumbs up for the intro alone. 👍

Add a throttle body spacer. The spacer doesn't do much by itself but with the cold air intake it makes a difference. Not much but something. Try it out. I don't like the top heat shield. It doesn't prevent much heat but it does take away from airflow. Try it, if you like it you're welcome 😁

Great job, I followed your video over the instructions provided and the cold intake on my JK installed perfectly, appreciate you. PS, how did you keep those pretty hands so clean😀

Yes Jason! Lovin’ the dapper look for SCIENCE! Great video as always dude!

Great video Jason. I especially liked the fact that you combined evidence based findings with your personal feelings about the CAI. After all, who cares what the research says if we don't like it. I live in Florida where if you are going to add a CAI, you might as well add a snorkel instead which have been said to possibly provide cooler air to the engine.From all the looking and reading I have been able to find it seems that all the evidence provided for or against snorkels is subjective. At the very least a snorkel does provide a higher air intake than the stock intake. Whether this can provide consistent protection for flooding is another matter. Does this protection warrant daily use at the possible loss of performance? Does the snorkel even affect performance? The only real evidence I have been able to find was the "Jeep JK RIPP Supercharger SNORKEL TEST" videos run by RIPP Supercharger. These tests seem to suggest that adding an above the fender snorkel (AEV style) with what seems to be a prefilter, does restrict airflow and thus reduces HP. But I question the validity of this test in terms of being indicative of snorkels in general. For one, the test uses a specific snorkel with an attachment that may be the cause of airflow restriction. Secondly, the test is run in a garage. This hardly replicates real driving conditions, specifically the ram air effect that could possibly increase the airflow lacking in the test results. I have a hard time accepting that no one has taken the time to properly test performance with a snorkel versus without a snorkel. I am encouraged by anecdotal evidence by owners who have added snorkels, but would like to see this backed by research based evidence. Does you know of a valid and reliable real world driving test that suggests whether performance is hindered or bolstered by the addition of a snorkel?

Since it’s not available in California, I had to have my dad in Arizona buy it, and then ship it to me. I also bought the Flowmaster cat-back exhaust to go with it.

SICK TRACKPAD THO!

Another nice vid! Would love to see you install a Pedal Commander and have you give your thoughts on that. Cheers from Denver CO!

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the newer trucks don't react well to oiled air filters and that dry filters led to less problems. Not sure if that's true, and since my Ram is still under power train warranty I figured I'd wait to do this. Plus the 15 Ram's are a little more involved to tune.

Howdy Jason, I'm wear pajamas watching you install cool stuff on your jeep.

Better than Dirt every day and it’s free!

Just installed mine.

Next port and polish the throttle body. It will increase throttle response.

the butt dyno 🤣🤣. I love it.

I had a similar setup and was a great improvement but after a while I wanted more so I installed a RIPP Supercharger.

I love your videos but I wanna see more offroading!

I really like the outfit makes this episode really fun

lol the opening made me laugh so hard xD

Great video like always, cant wait for more Ram videos. Keep up with the great work. I too run Alienwear for my graphic sign works. Are you running a hp tune on the Ram?

Another great video, the Butt Dyno. Now I need to see some more Ram mods...

Hey I got a K&N cold air intake and same results as yours. Love it. Can you do a review of the B&M shifter you installed - maybe likes and dislikes

That intro though 😂😎

Nice video. Someday, can you do a video about how to film an off-road adventure? How you mount the cameras....what types of cameras....best places to put them.....drone work....etc... More and off-road enthusiasts are filming trail rides and you would be a great source of knowledge considering your experience in off-road videography. .

Great video and I truly like performance upgrades, but for a Jeep this could be a scary one. On a performance car I love this install but for a Jeep that might have to do water crossings, worries me. I just don’t like the idea of hydro locking an engine. But I’m sure it will work great with the rest of your upgrades.

haha nice one! Do all the science!! XD

My only pet peeve with this video is That's not a mass air flow sensor it's a intake air temp sensor!!!! Mopar Dodge Ram or Jeep doesn't use mafs!!! they use map sensor and air intake temp and o2 sensors to adjust fuel trims it's speed density. Just want you to be informed good video always enjoy your videos nice quality

Just a couple questions. I’m in Canada, so...there is normally a really big difference from day time to evening ambient air temps. In testing with my Hondata on my Civic Si, I had much better intake temps in the evening. Same thing there? Also, in cleaning that sensor. Do you think that would have had and bearing on the numbers? I know it’s small stuff. But...it’s still.

Still drawing hot air so its really the same type as factory, just less restriction in the intake.

Great Video Sherlock... What headlamps are u running? JW Speaker?

Jeep Engine Bay Tip: Carefully rest the hood against the top of the windshield next time. You'll have much more room, light, and won't have to keep dodging the hood prop rod.

Really like your videos. I just recently bought a jk just like yours with 55,000 miles on it and have on done a couple upgrades like lights. Do you have any recommendations or upgrades that extend the life of your jk?

If you got a blazer you must know a lot lol looks cool

Thats good to hear. Do you know anything about the Pebal Commander?

I might have missed it, but was the ambient air temp the same during both tests? That might impact the results slightly. Testing in the cool of the evening vs. noon would make a difference I think. Nice video.

The whole video I couldn’t stop thinking about the jacket getting dirty...

Yo Jason!! I was watching the Trail to SEMA Day 4 video (sorry about the rear axle BTW) and saw that you were drinking one my favorite local beers from one of my favorite local breweries. How did you end up with that in Utah?? They only recently started canning. Cheers brother!

I think cleaning the mass air flow sensor and throttle body did more than the new intake and had you done that before changing the intake the result would have probably been the same. I just do not see 200- 400 dollars worth of performance. Great vid, got a chuckle from your get up.

What made you decide to go with this brand over some of the other big dog brands? Flowmaster send you one? Just curious. Great video.

You should have got air raid intake and then the poweraid throttle body spaced. Made a huge differnce

THANKS

Great video. Have been thinking about making that the next mod to our ‘14 Rubi. Why did you get away from K&N?.

First time I've ever seen an air filter condom!

Hi I sure enjoyed your video Wondering how a throttle commander would work with your up grades I have a 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited SAHARA V6 automatic It's color is GECKO PREARL Thanks again

Love it, but three-button is a little 90s.

I'd love to see the air/fuel ratio on both. Would be a great way to see if the upgrade worked

How do you like the new Craftsman drills/impact?

I’m a software engineer with a degree in computer science and a Jeeper. My body is ready.

Would like to see this done to the new 2.0 enjine with the turbo

Jason! Great video, thanks for sharing this, do they make one for the JL 2019 Rubicon? I think it is cool air like you said, not cold air intake, probably a snorkel gets you to true cold intake especially in the desert where the engine heat and air temp is going to be v high. You ever come to N Cal to wheel?

Nice upgrade haven't seen you in my video feed for a while. Where was pinto?

Great work Jason. How would u compare a cold air intake with a snorkel? I guess they would be very similar in terms of air temp and performance. Plus, a snorkel should provide a cleaner air since it's a 4x4. Volant makes a great snorkel/intake combo. What do u think? Jason Holmes part 2 coming up!

Great Video thanks wondered why you have not changed out your hood catches? don't you hate hood flutter?

I have a question - did you account for ambient air temp? The reason I ask is that it looks like it was later in the day for the second run. Wasn't it slightly cooler outside as it got later in the day, and could that be responsible for the few degrees of difference between the two runs? Love your videos - keep it up!

IDK about these, I bought the banks power version though. I'm not sure the stock setup has any real air flow restriction to matter. A chance for cooler air... I hope so. Will one help at higher altitudes?

What was the engine temp after install compared to the stock filter?

Enjoyed the video. How did the Delta Force do on the uphill section of the road? Where you able to keep it in a higher gear or post a higher speed? Just curious since the butt dyno is a little subjective (;-). I've been kicking around the idea of a throttle body and cold air intake on my mostly stock 2016 JKU Sport. I upgraded to 33's on M/T wheels and I've seen a decrease in MPG and need to down shift sooner on uphill grades. Since I'm not ready to add a turbo (a$ nice a$ that would be), a little more horsepower would be great.

Quick question Jason, the data does indeed show "cooler" temps but what about ambient temperatures. What was the outside temp when establishing your stock baseline compared to the outside temp after the cold air intake was installed and tested.

What Jason does when his wife is busy getting ready for their fancy dinner party. “And in your good jacket?!!!”

The "cold air intake" is definitely a mod I have gone back and forth on doing. Very interesting to see that it does indeed bring cooler air into the engine. My big issue is that my Jeep does see some water crossings...though, I usually go very slow through them. Many people have said that if you want a "true" cold air intake, you need to do a snorkle set up as it pulls air from completely outside the engine bay. Would be interesting to see the air temp comparisons between the tradtional cold air intake and the snorkle as well as if you still have the increase in throttle response/fuel mileage.

Gas is getting expensive everywhere in USA but Cali is flat out ridiculous! My biggest fear of EV is losing my wrangler lol. Next time you do a science video, wear Bill Nye's body suit lol.

I'm curious about the dirt on the throttle body. Is that to be expected, or was the K&N filter not doing it's job?

Thanks for the video review. I looked up the product and says that won't fit jeeps with a lift kit, I see you have a lift kit installed in your jeep, did you run into any trouble? I don't see how a lift kit would have anything to do with it but that's what the manufacturer says

Hey man! Exhaust sounds amaaaazing! Do you mind sharing your exhaust set up? Appreciate it.

Thank you for the video But can you make a new video for the short shifter you have on your jeep... after one year of using it Thank you again.... and sorry for my english

Great video, did you notice an increase in mpg?
