89eliminator Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 i run the Rustys Offroad airtube and K&N filter. I think it cost around $80 for the whole setup. There was a minimal power gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There actually is a K&N element that fits the XJ/MJ 4.0L correctly -- problem is, it's listed for some Dodge vehicle and not for the Jeeps. If you're talking about the air tube/cone filter system that replaces the stock air box, you also have to remember that the K&N system relies on oil to attract dirt to the filter. The filter itself, dry, is not very effective. Having grown up when oil bath air filters were the norm, I think they are a colossal PITA and I want no part of them. The stock air intake system works just fine. We are not running NASCAR race engines that spend all day at 7,500 RPM. You just don't need a freer-flowing intake to loaf down the highway at 2,000 RPM, or crawl rocks at just over idle speed. Save your money for something worthwhile.

You should be able to pick up the whole stock assembly out of an XJ for around $25 from a junk yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
