Air Intakes, What do you use?

[IISPEEDYII]

Hey all, I was just wondering what you guys use on your rigs? and why? I'm trying to decide on what I want to buy, I'm open to all suggestions and information.

i think most every gets the air doc intake

Stock. I don't like the Airaid as it is open to the engine and allows more dirt into the box. On filters, my opinion is that the oiled filters are likely to let more dirt into the intake - at least that's what I would see on my MAF and throttle body.

AirDoc but not for any performance gains. I had an issue where the stock intake had rubbed the insulation off the coil wires. The AirDoc solves that issue, although I think it was a freak thing. I've never heard of anyone else with the same problem.

Stock. My experience is based on used oil analysis with oiled filters. More air yes, also lets dirt into engine.

 

[High Five H2]

so there's not much of a performance gain with the airdoc, even for an alpha?

 

[alrock]

John, I brought in a second element into the discussion - air filters - since many people lump them together. Intakes like AirDoc can be run with any filter so I'm not trying to say that there's not a benefit to AirDoc; I just haven't owned one. I am saying I don't think there's a benefit from the Airaid intake/filter setup.

I wasn't sure which topic the OP wanted to cover so I hit both.

I have the Volant CAI with the Donaldson Filter. Donaldson are used by most mining companies & they have done the numbers for their fleets so should be a good pick. I added the irdoc to mine also so all up is nice clean efficient closed system

I have a K&N filter on mine. I just cleaned the MAF and noticed a huge difference in power. So my verdict on the oiled filters is dont go that route. Plus the box for the K&N is pretty open so I cant do much for off road as I might suck somthing up. I also have to clean my filter alot too because its so open. I plan on switching to a stock airbox soon. Once I find an OEM box I will most likely modify it to see if i can get some better performance out of it.

Airdoc with an AFE dry filter... No oily mess.

 

[chaos254]

Went the custom route with an AEM dry filter. Didnt want to go with a open air system so I just made my own. Only cost me around $25 to make.

Mine came with an Airaid on it.. and I'll probably leave it there too. I know most people are hesitant on oiled filters, but as long as you know how to maintain/oil one, they really aren't that bad. I ran oiled intakes on my Dmax for about 7 years.. and that included Twins and Triples, and I had zero issues.

I see what you guys are saying, air doc to keep it clean and more functionality.

AirDoc with a K&N filter. If I were in a dusty environment more I would use a stock filter.

 

[IISPEEDYII]

I was just wondering everyones opinion because I was looking into getting the K&N intake but then I saw the air doc and wanted to know what people use more.

[IISPEEDYII]

Does that work well for you? Any complaints? with debris or taking on water?

 

[Chook]

I agree with the comment about oiled filters letting more dirt in.............I use a Donaldson Powercore which has the advantages of both better filtration material & increased surface area due to the powercore design It has a pre-filter that you can easily put on when you know you are going into extreme environment

Snorkel, stock air box, Fram dry paper filter, AirDoc intake tube...all good here.

 

[rascole]

K & N cold air intake. Never a problem with "oily mess". Have used them for 30+ years with never a problem.

 

[SolidusJ]

I have a K&N Intake System with a K&N Apollo kit, I Didn't like how the air filter was out in the open so I pick up the Apollo and ran the tube up in the finder. I like how it came out and also a huge plus is I'm pulling in 7 degrees hotter air into the intake then the outside temperature. This is not a snorkel set up this just keep water and mud off the filter.

Is the tube long enough to reach the spot for the jeep snorkel?... And is the filter oil or dry?.... I'm really really liking that Apollo add on bro!

Same! Most the gimmicks out there will actually cause long term damage to engine.

I have a K&N CAI (Plastic tube for less engine bay heat transfer to the intake, metal ones defeat the purpose of a "COLD" Air Intake) and my PCM was tuned to consider the airflow change..a noted performance improvement (ALTHOUGH SLIGHT) was felt.

agreed, if it fed up far enough that would be a cool add on
