K&N Cold Air Intake System: High-Flow Air Filter, Increase Performance & Towing: Compatible with 2018-2025 JEEP, Gladiator, Wrangler, Wrangler JL, 77-1576KP

I have no mechanical experience changing anything out. I took a chance, and with the help of a few YT instructional vids, I was able to change this out. I am so happy with this install! The directions it came with were ok, but the videos found online helped more. Make sure you have all the right tools. You'll need: Trim removal tool Flathead screwdriver Adjustable wrench Sockets 10mm & 8mm Torx bits: T30, T20 Allen head: 5/32 Adaptors may be needed for the sockets Removing the old air intake was one of the main challenges I encountered. I had virtually no issues with installing the new one. Challenges were (I have a Jeep JL): Removing grill without scratching it on the aftermarket front bumper (I only had about a 3/4 of an inch gap to work with). Removing air intake air temperature sensor while being careful with it. Overall, I am very happy with this. It also makes my Jeep sound way better and a little meaner.

Love this CAI. Quality product and easy to install. The sound is much better than stock with a little more giddy up. MPG seemed to go up also.

I installed this today and it took me about an hour. Would have been quicker but I was in and out of the house grabbing tools and coffee. The good... 1. Install is easy if you have the right tools and read the instructions, Youtube videos exist so if you need more direction just google Jeep Gladiator K&N Cold Air Intake Install. 2. The motor growls when you hit the throttle! I do not want the full sound of an aftermarket exhaust but the stock intake makes no sound at all. If you are looking for a nice growl without being obnoxious (IMO) this is the way to go. 3. Throttle response is noticeable better but not sure how much of that is associated with the sound, it could be a Jedi mind trick. 4. This is handmade in the USA!1 (according to the box) The bad... 1. Other brands do not require you take the grill off and remove the air inlet tube behind. This is not a big deal if you are familiar with removing the grill but it still adds time to the overall install. 2. I have had other vehicles with CAIs and sometimes at low rpms they can feel sluggish. Overall they add HP and I believe they are worth it but it is something to keep in mind. I still rate this as 5 stars despite these very small issues.

Dry CAI installed on '23 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Extreme Recon Pkg with 37", was getting 13.6mpg with a light foot before... NOW getting 15.4mpg first 50miles with a heavy foot. Have not noticed increase in HP. Sound is throatier and so far worth the money.

It looks very good good construction, easy to install you feel the difference sounds very nice.

As far as I am concerned- Typical K&N-good products, built well, and does what they say it would. Very satisfied with it.

Make a huge difference on 3.6 Wrangler. The throaty sound is just perfect not too loud. Ive had a number of different intakes over time this has been the best one Ive purchased from the airflow to the sound and performance.

Update: I’ve had this for two years and it’s only gotten worse. The quality of the plastic is complete garbage. C’mon K&N, do better. Inexcusable for this amount of money. I’m lowering my review to one star, the metal inserts are completely pulling out of the plastic, I’d avoid this until the manufacturer can improve the design. Not hard to install but beware screwing in the air sensor port, cheap plastic on cheap plastic and snap. Would’ve cost the manufacturer another buck or two to do it right or better yet build it into the original mold or pre installed from the factory. I love the product but the design is very sub par.
