$240 to loose horsepower? I dont think so.

really i thought you'd get a little bit of gains? or is it a loss with just greddy?

It's a loss with pretty much all intakes lol. Best set up is the stock airbox and a high flow drop in filter. Get the cai/sri for the intake noise only lol

haha yeah thats all i was going for the noise, just wondering the 2012 activ they are 4b11 so this should fit my 2.0L

What. No gain, sure, but a loss?
The greddy is exactly the same as the takeda 2.0L version, a few people have it including me. Its good. I'd try finding one cheaper than that though.
All CJs have the same intake except the evo.

yeah because all these websites just say 08, 09 and was a curious if its all the same even with 2012, but should be good

Some of these intake setups can make a small gain (when the under hood air temp is 25*C or less) but the gain is usually because the MAF reads incorrectly and the Air Fuel Ratio is leaner than stock at WOT.
Hence a small power increase.
When the air temps under the hood warm up (always LOL) you start going backward because:
a. Hot air is less dense (power loss).
b. Hot air causes Spark retard (major power loss).
So, to sum up:
stick with the stock airbox, it works well and can be tweaked further and wont get you a defect.
Fit a good panel filter, like Ralliart, HKS or Cosworth.
Fit a Ralliart snorkle, it has no restrictions.
Open up the grill on the radiator dress plate where the air is drawn from/through.
There are some extra hot=rodding tricks you can as well:
Wrap the suction pipe and airbox with heat reflecting tape.
Check out DEI Reflect-a-Gold, this stuff works!

I heard silver was good too. Is it a good idea to wrap uicp too?
