*****Update on post #3*******

I am expecting my S&B intake to arrive tomorrow, and I can't wait to have a real cold air intake again. I tried the air box mod, but it isn't the same as a real cold air intake. I never put one on my Hemi Jeep, but had a K&N on my previous Jeep and loved the sound and performance.




I am planning on ordering a Bully Dog Power Pup in the next few weeks, and was curious how many people in Parker, Denver, Highlands Ranch would be interested in getting the 2* degree advance?

Has anyone ever notice lines on their rear doors in foul weather? I got my Armada filthy earlier in the week and decided not to wash it because we were expecting some snow. Then tonight after I had driven in the snow for a while I stopped for gas and noticed I had matching stripes on both rear doors where the snow wasn't sticking. I assume there are wire bundles in the doors that put off enough heat to melt snow and ice.

The lines:

Before the 2nd snow:

So I have put 500 miles on the Armada since the CAI was installed, and love the added power on the top end. I had to modify the system already to eliminate some of the resonance from the intake. Passengers in the rear don't hear the noise, but in the front seats is was way to much noise. I added 1" foam rubber to the bottom, and around the sides where the box meets the fender. It has eliminate 50% off the noise, but I plan to put a little more work into it when it gets warmer out. I will post some videos of the sound in the cabin in a few days, and will post any improvements in MPG.
