Here is a site I found that has some of the lowest priced K&N Cold Air Intakes.
Maybe they could become a site sponsor???
Take a look:

Performance Peddler, with the coupon, is still cheaper. Good looking out though.

I have done prior business with Performance Peddler in the past and have been very happy.
Visit them at: http://www.performancepeddler.com
Be sure to use the "jeepsrock" code for an extra discount!
Probably the best prices on the stuff you already want!

With Performance Peddler, you could buy the 63-1545 for $226, Free Shipping, after "jeepsrock" login code and $10 off for posting the link in a forum and sending it to them. The original posted link has the same intake for $253, and I don't know the shipping costs.

The dyno specs on the 4.7L with the 63-1548 is 9.47 HP @ 4397 RPM.
I first opted for the 77-1548KP which is the polished aluminum tube which produces approximately 1.5hp less because it looked cool. Once I received the kit, it looked way out of place under the hood due to all the plastic under the hood, like the intake manifold and the valve covers and all the rest of the plastic crap these trucks are made of.
The WK now definitely has a nice intake sound with a little bit of a rumble; you can definitely hear the air rush into the engine!
A little quicker acceleration, but could also be in part to the combination of opening the intake with the CAI and opening the exhaust with the Magnaflow exhaust.
I guess between the two I have and addition 20bhp increase...
Just about any CAI is better than the factory restrictive intake system. Do some research why…

ive seen the specs but i was just wondering how much of a difference do you feel. is it worthy of the $200 or so

The biggest difference is the sound. Considering you don't drive in the RPM range where most of the power is made, it's a bit of a waste. Get the filter, cut the airbox up a little bit, and see how you feel. Or, if you want to do something interesting, try making some sort of Ram Air with dryer tube and other parts. Going right into the bottom of the airbox, you'd be getting some solid airflow.

I have the same K&N also and love it, I could have found it a little cheaper on ebay, but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it at here. K&N 57-1545 (http://airintakeandfilter.com/product.php?productid=1858?od), or you can try one of the vendors on the forum here, you can usually find a good deal that way as well. This was very easy to install and I love it.
