Can't wait to see it. I'm close to submitting a ticket to get in line for the full system that Jake's been working on, but I'm a bit scared to see the sticker on end-to-end.

That looks awesome. Top up your coolant to the Max line and you're good to go.

it sounds amazing and makes a sweet induction noise, i feel like my exhaust sounds a bit more aggressive as well...

throttle response increased and i can definitely feel a power increase...i put 7k miles on 4.0L before i installed the airbox...Jake has charts which prove it outflows the factory x51 airbox, no hot air intake here

I mean...factory x51 is 7k and practically NLA, and Jake's version is provably superior.

Love the intake and your 4.0L must be sweet. $5K for an intake is wild but after making a mod list for my Targa I’ve been feeling the Porsche tax too much lately so don’t mind me.

$1400 for an x-pipe, $3200 for mufflers, $1100 for intake, $4,000 for coil overs and then another $4,000 for install. Send help.
