rusty's is a good deal but you can always rig one up ... i used 2.5" exhaust pipe as a coupler and a cone filter i picked up at the parts store all together have 25 bucks in it wont win an award for looks but definantly works ... also i got a TB spacer for under 30 bones month or so ago heres link to the pics http://www.jeepz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18886&highlight=throttle+body+spacer
and heres the seller on ebay http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/res069tu

Hey lethaldose, did you lose any MPG?

 

[lethaldose]

lose any no , but i dont think i picked up a real lot either maybe an extra MPG... just mainly helped with throttle response along with the intake major improvement ... why ya ask ??

I wonder if the helix spacer that they are selling makes that much difference for the extra $7.

I bought a cone filter and tube on ebay for chaep from a seller called chromeintakes. It made a huge difference. I might try out this spacer for the XJ as well.

yeah i've bought from chromintakes for my s10 and for under 50 bucks i got a FULL 3" alluminum intake with all the connectors and a K&N filter so i was really impressed ... but at the last time i checked they didnt offer one for a TJ

I've seen yj ones on ebay from chromeintakes. My friend bought one from them for his civic and he likes it. I'd try one but i'm afraid of sucking water and mud into it. I'm prob going to put a drop in k&n and modify the stock airbox a little.

That's what I always do.

Have you yanked the restrictor?

I've been through a lot of water and mud in my YJ and never injested water through the conical K&N, with no splash shield.

I don't have a TJ, so I am unfamilar with the set up, but why would it fit the XJ/YJ and not the TJ? I am sure it can be done somehow.

yeah i yanked the restrictor out and got one hell of a scar doing it. The stock airbox in a yj is on the right side of the engine(assuming your standing in front looking down on it) in a tj it runs across the engine and is on the left. Other than that i don't know the differences. I've seen it done though.
