Don't be such a puss man, grow a pair. I give my closest friends far more **** than I am giving you, and I take as much as I give. Wait, that didn't sound right,

You made that intake and now you have to live with it, . We have all done stupid ****, just learn from it and move on. Go to my build thread and look at my turbo sump pump setup,

Your problem is that you can't admit when your wrong and just take your abuse.

sweatr, 9k has been around here forever and has experimented with a lot of different set up on his car. some with good results some bad. he has documented many diy threads and has been very helpful

his point is that buying a bunch of crap generic parts and turing an 8 into an abortion has become too common as their value falls.

btw its the interwebz, dont get butthurt

I originally posted that pic because it was stated as an experiment and the perminate parts will be installed next week and I was wanting to show the difference for others unlike you who know little of the 8 or mechanics at all. I just made the mistake of posting in the kangroo court section.

I will repost when the work is done and you can post your pic of mine next to it. Now run along and tell Daddy I insulted you boy.
If you would have done some research you would know there is only 1 intake proven to give you hp (and it's only 1hp) and that's the AEM/Mazda Speed intake for $300-400.

Not sure what your goal is with this intake setup, but if you don't box in the filter you will just be sucking in hot air from the engine bay. And I know what you are trying to do with the inlet at the bottom of the bumper but it looks like a good place to suck up water...

Misinterpretation, sweatr was referencing people unlike 9K who don't know much about the mechanics. I guess you could take it as a compliment.

I'm just diffusing the situation, enough people are butt hurt over this already. It was fun while it lasted. Lets move on.

Not sure why you posted it here... This is a rare example of a Cherokee I WOULD drive! Could use a lift, though.
