Airbox has to go?

Hi Everybody,

I got a great deal on a Quick Air 3 and attempted to install it and gave up.
I have an 01 TJ six cyl. and the air box has to go if I want to put this in
the engine compartment, and I do.. I'm really not interested in K&N or
other devices. I have seen nice setups with a chrome air cleaner on top of
the intake. Anybody know what air cleaner and filter I could use? Off of a
certain vehicle? I off road a lot so ingestion dust/dirt is something I am
concerned about.

Thanks

Andy
2001 TJ

What wrong with under the seat?

screwed up a perfect induction system.

This mounts a K&N one piece air cleaner right on top of the engine, where
not much dirt or water can get at it. I don't much care for the price, but
I didn't have a tubing bender that would accommodate that diameter, and my
welding skills aren't so good.

Trueflow makes a filter that will fit onto the air tube after cutting it
off just like the K&N does. The difference being that the Trueflow
actually does a good job of filtering the air, unlike K&N's. I
installed an OBA into my Jeep and it also took up the airbox's space so
that's why I'm running the Trueflow.

This does the same thing as the turbocity and it's only $30.

Been running this tube with a K&N for about 2 years. I've never seen
dirt inside the airtube or TB. It is an open filter, but it's a couple
inches higher than the stock aibox inlet. If you get in that deep,
you're going to have problems regardless.

The TurboCity air tube does literally NOTHING that the factory air tube
doesn't do. I started with cutting off my factory air tube to mount the
K&N air filter but had to replace it with the TurboCIty air tube so I
could pass the visual inspection for California's semi-annual smog
system test. The TurboCity had the required CARB (Calif. Air Resources
Board) sticker of approval, that's what I needed to pass.

Was there any difference in performance with TurboCity's hollow steel
tube and the plastic factory air tube I had been using? Of course not,
what a rip-off... $80 for their lame air tube just so I could get that
required CARB approval sticker. Damn.

It put the K&N on top of the engine, further away from the dust and the
water than the stock air box in my '95. It came with a spiffy "Rock-It"
sticker. It made room for a tool box or anything else you can dream up for
the stock air box location. I don't think you're being fair when you say it
does "NOTHING" that the stock air tube doesn't. ;^)

Hi Earle,
In the past you've said there's no dust in the pipe, proving
de'Nile is not just a river in Egypt. Do it one more time, just so as I
may say, I told you so.
