Gosh I've been busy lately, I keep forgetting to post these photos. My job has been keeping me away from doing the fun stuff, I guess.
So here's the AEM intake install in my 2007 Wrangler, in 4 photos. :)
Here's the "before" photo:
Here's the stock intake removed. It took all of 5 minutes, I think. The instructions were great. Getting the IAT sensor out of the stock intake was the longest part of the whole process.
And now the bracket/partition that keeps the filter kind of away from the warmest part of the engine bay:
And...ta da! Completely installed:
The hardest part was dealing with that damn IAT sensor. There's a grommet that holds the sensor to the breather tube and it's tricky to get that all put together without breaking the sensor or uttering some unsavory words. :)
The intake sounds great...the engine has a nice rumble/growl to it when you stomp on the gas. The MPG's are up a little, maybe 1 - 2 miles per gallon better. Definitely more power from the get-go and up in the higher RPM's. The only thing I don't like is there is a high-frequency whistle that comes in sometimes...I think it may be that IAT sensor grommet leaking a little air or something. Needs to be investigated...
