Cutting the hood for cold air intake

[Skip The Road]

Has anyone else had the gonads to cut a chunk out of their hood for the cold air intake vent. Just ordered the kit and I am not to sure how this will turn out.

I didn't.
I admit it.
I paid a dude to make the cut.
same cut as for my snorkel.

IMPORTANT: If anybody finds just the grill for a MOPAR CAI, let me know!
then I can swap the snorkel to the next one when the time comes...

Cold air intakes aren’t as valuable as people think. In fact they’re nearly worthless.

Have to agree. They have their place.
They make a neat induction noise but not much in power gain. Unless you’ve tuned the complete motor...mapping, polished ports,intakes, exhaust,etc.

Mopar system coming out in December also requires cutting hood.

I tend to agree, unless you have a turbo being installed I would save your $'s

I want to add the snorkel, but have to admit, really only looking at the options where I don't have to cut the hood.

Wish I knew what happened to the 2018 SEMA snorkel that Rugged Ridge showed off for the JL. That thing was beautiful. I can't find a bit of information on if it's even going into production.

While CAI's aren't generally worth anything alone, if they made that available I'd be all over it because it just looks so cool, lol.

That one exactly. So frustrated by the lack of info on this. What happened, the demand seemed like it was there.

What about the Hauk Off-road one?

I like it but if you use this you no longer have your flip flops! Honestly I'd rather have the snorkel at the top of the windshield frame. Not that I will be that deep, I just think it looks better. The Hauk unit looks like it belongs on a diesel.

I agree. Was never really sure why it didn't come out (I just sent them a message). Interestingly enough, it appears to have two adaptable stages. This photo looks like there is another part/extension on the passenger seat.

The party on the seat gives a may for a snorkel. Cold air to window snorkel in a couple of minutes. Really cool design.
