True though those living in counties that don't would be a small minority of California residents.Only if you live in a county that requires a bi-annual smog check.

And BWTM- in California (thank you for your condolences) a vehicle with a CAI will not pass the bi-annual smog check.
Yes. I was only clarifying someones statement.True though those living in counties that don't would be a small minority of California residents.
If it is a CARB approved CAI then it will pass won't it? Don't know enough about CA smog laws since I moved from there in 93.
That velocity comment on what the trumpet does came right from Jim Repp's mouth during one of several phone conversations we had. Jim Repp, now retired, was Jeep's most senior engineer who was personally responsible for the original TJ Rubicon's inception. Not a rumor, I heard him say it rather pointedly and directly why the OE air intake system is so good as designed after I asked him about it being restrictive or not. He said he specifically ordered it designed with no restriction.So, the design of the trumpet does nothing for the velocity into the intake.

How those conversations started was when he contacted me after reading some of my posts complaining about misfires and multiple '43' codes on my then-new '97 TJ. He sent me a bunch of parts to try which didn't help since the problem was later tracked down to a bad batch of engine valve springs. Jim later started feeding me tidbits about the upcoming Rubicon before its introduction to help keep the rumors at bay, like its locker design.
Here's one of many interviews with him... https://jeepblogs.azurewebsites.net...ew-jim-repp-jeep-brand-engineering/index.html
It's more than good enough for most of us Wrangler TJ owners. If my TJ was a dragster maybe not but it's not.And, I never said that it wasn’t well designed, just some of its designs don’t do what you were told they do...
My only complaint with the system, there is nothing that can be done to correct, and that is it pulling hot air from under the hood.

This we agree on. I think it's correct advice for almost every TJ owner looking to slap one on. An intake will not help your under-geared rig push 35's down the highway or even help you beat that soccer mom in her minivan on your otherwise stock TJ. Not even a little.It's more than good enough for most of us Wrangler TJ owners. If my TJ was a dragster maybe not but it's not.
I agree. High flow air filters flow more air by filtering less efficiently & letting in more contaminants. ‘Not worth it, especially with our Jeeps where they don’t add any power or improved fuel mileage.I sold the CAI that was on my Jeep when I bought it, for 150.00 , and got a used stocker for 30.00. Absolutely no difference in power or fuel economy, and a whole lotta beer money. As a side note, picked up better filtration, with an ac Delco element.
And if it’s expensive (like Starbucks) they will buy even more.Simple. Because people buy them. Same reason they sell "weight loss" pills. People buy them, even though they don't work. The same can be said for a lot of things in life. Just because someone sells a product, doesn't mean it works.
Or Keuregs, smartphones, all sorts of stupidity!And if it’s expensive (like Starbucks) they will buy even more.
I have learned to love my Keurig. I would have never bought one but our son bought one for my wife & I and we have grown to LOVE its speed and ability to make anything from a single regular cup, my daily 14 oz. cup, or a carafe. We don't buy Keurig coffee though, we either grind our own or use less expensive coffee in reusable pods. I always miss it when I'm out of town lol.Or Keuregs, smartphones, all sorts of stupidity!
I had one at a work location once. And it was terrific for grabbing a cup of coffee quick. That you normally wouldnt have time for. Excellent coffee too. I think we bought the coffee via costco. And it wasnt name brand. My son has a nespresso or something like that. Its ok. I preferred the keurig tho.I have learned to love my Keurig.
