Well, I mickey moused my way into a custom air intake. IT KICKS ANUS!! hehe, I'll have pics a little later. It is a fully functional kit. I am going to write the measurements and stuff, but I had to make my own mounts and stuff. I removed the stock air box and pipe and pieced together some 3" schedule 40 PVC, 3" 90 degree rubber elbow, 3" 45 degree pvc elbow, and 3" rubber coupler. I am going to paint it later, it is too windy and cold out...freak texas wind storm. I connected the contraption to my AIRAID kit and VIOLA!! The gains on this kit was really better than I expected, and that lovely intake sucking noise!!! ;)
Drive it like you stole it...
Flowmaster 40 series Delta, Bosch Platinum 4 plugs, 180 d thermostat, AIRAID intake w/K&N cone, Jet Chip stage 2 , Altezza tail lights, Billet Aluminum fuel door, 5% tint all around.
Coming Soon: Turbocharger, New Throttle Body, MSD Ignition, and Nitrous.hehe

That looks pretty good! I've never seen under the hood of a 2.5 before, it's hard to figure out what is what. Did you not have a TB hat, and is your throttle single bore like the 4.7? Being 4 cyl., is it in-line?
Well-done.

Lesley- Yes the TB is single bore, it is pretty much the same TB as the Jeep 2.5L and 4.0L, so I think I am swapping the TB to the 4.0L sometime in the future. I took off the airhat and I made a fitting for the intake pipe to connect to the TB. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the performance thusfar.

I really like that fuel door. I was looking at those on ebay but wasn't sure about how they would look. Was it a fairly clean install? I may have to get one now!
Poking along until I get a 408!

The fuel door was REALLY easy to install, took about 25 minutes to do it.
