The exhaust definitely makes the biggest difference. I installed a Borla muffler on mine leaving the resonator, and the low end to mid range response is so much better now!
I just got the blackheart exhaust on today with an s&b intake. I'm also running the pulsar performance module and together the jeep is really snappy and wakes up the 3.6 nicely. Highway driving is much improved and in general.
@@kyleolin3566correct most people think intake and exhaust are enough, it’s not the ecu needs to be flashed/changed or your unlikely to see bigger gains due to the map on it. You gain horsepower and a slight increase in mpg when you do it that way. Did I take and new chip on a grand Cherokee got 12 horses and 7 lbft of torque. Was a little under a grand to have done.
I have a 2012 JKU sahara on 35s as well. I just (last month ) put a Cold Air intake on mine and geared it with 4.56 yukons and a superships. Made a happy change and I am looking fwd to doing the exhaust nest summer.
As @@IGOPU explained ecu correct the afr right away or you would melt the piston on the first start making it lean. Adding more airflow by itself won't do a thing to power, 7 HP difference can just be observed between two pulls back to back. If you want power you need to move timing and or compression.
That’s pretty awesome gains across the power band. I think I’ll be installing a delta force air box as well, still debating on which specific exhaust to go with but the sound on yours is nice.
The stock intake on the jeep wrangler is a thing of beauty, a rare engineering example of functionality over regulation. You don't need an aftermarket intake on a wrangler, it doesn't do anything, zip, zero. It also increases your chances of sucking water into the intake manifold when you replace it. The exhaust is something that I can get behind though, but you need to remove the catalytic converters and flash the ECU. If you're looking to stay legal, you'll need a custom exhaust to accommodate the lift you chose, if you're hard-core.
Flash tune it so the vehicle knows there are larger tires/wheels. Will make it perform at the optimal levels and also get your Speedo back in line. Then consider performance parts. Just my two cents! Once I did that after 37” tires it made the jeep run as it should and had the familiar response I was used to
My comments are mainly on your video. Very, very well done and clear explanations. I am impressed you were able to get the old exhaust off without having to lift the vehicle. I am waiting for a Pypes higher clearance exhaust purchased through Quadratec. Right now, I will likely do a K/N flat unit (no CAI). As one response stated, I will be regearing (through 4WP). Again, very good video. Mine is a 2020, Sport Altitude.
I’m hailing from Florida but originally from Greensboro and charlotte nc! Good to hear from another keeper from nc! I’m like you I always drive with the top down!!!
Perfect timing to stumble on your video, I'm just getting ready to install a flowmaster cat back exhaust and a volant cold air intake and snorkel combo. 👍👍
I went with the K&N CAI and the American thunder cat back from Flowmaster....love the minor boost and especially the sound. I have no muffler in the old location. It now sits where the resonator used to mount
@@queensapphire7717 never put it on a dyno machine, but it does feel more pep at the peddle, enough the I do this combination on my other jeep and all the cars I have owned......and I hate to waste money....
Thanks for this simple instructional video it's crazy that this showed up in my feed cuz I was just thinking I really need to figure out something for my JK the fact that it's a Rubicon and it is gutless really gets to me and there's no way it's going to be able to push 37s so thanks for this video I'm probably going to order that exhaust system and that intake right now
I have a 1992 renegade that came with a cold air intake and it’s a blast to drive especially in the summer when my Jeep permanently becomes topless until fall
JScan app and OBD2 is the cheapest way to update the ecu with new mod tyre size. It makes an amazing difference. Maps power and shifts brilliantly. Gets rid of her chatter. I was completely stunned when I did mine. Tip go 1 higher there size than what you fitted.
Ive owned a v6 in the past and i agree itll never sound like a v8 but i gotta say i really like the sound of this one. While not huge gains its still a gain without voiding a warranty. I did the same thing on my 2018 f-150. Did it make it fast, no. Did it make it sound 1,000x better, yes. 👍
My 02' GC 4.7ho Pushes 275-300HP with a 231amc transfer case with 2wd option, magnaflow performance exhaust. Even with a 6 in lift kit she rips down the road like a real jeep should.
Loved it and making more power is always a good thing. The next step is to swap out your gear sets and install a ratio that will bring your engines operating range back into its torque sweet spot. Love the new diff cover by the way..
You are definitely right about a re-gear. I got the diff covers from B&M. They actually have dipsticks built into them to check gear oil levels or check for water intrusion in the diffs if you have been wheeling in creeks. Thanks for watching!
2013 sport with 35" + 3" lift : I upgraded with the cheapest air intake and exhaust system for 350 CAD$. Nice sound and little more power of course. But, the big difference is in the mileage... an average of 4.5 miles/gallon increased. Don't hesitate to do these upgradres !!!
I agree totally. I' m looking for efficiency (as in an increase in MPG) more than HP and/or FPT. So....I'm going with the Rock Crusher exhaust and the AMFIB Snorkel Low Mount intake system. I'll let you know how it works out after the install,
One thing that gets me with these after market intake kits is the lack of accumulators. Those big blanked off tubes on the stock intake assembly are there to hold clean air. When you step on the throttle hard, this air is drawn into the motor to give a better instant torque numbers. They have no effect on average number though. So think of it this way, those are there for taking off from stop lights and sighs.
I did the same thing with my 2014 4 door wrangler except I used a K&N aircharger intake system and a magnaflow performance catback exhaust. It definitely increased acceleration and better high speed highway driving. not sure exactly how much horsepower increase though. And definitely sounds a lot more "manly" ; )
You can't never go wrong with those power add on's but☝️ if you want your Jeep to get back to how it felt with stock tires you might consider changing your Ring & pinion and a good high performance clutch. Nice Jeep btw.👍🏽🇺🇸
Gearing swap in the axles helps a ton too. Coworker of mine put 50” with lift on his after gearing swap it was like stock again with the mpg’s was getting before. Also good to checked the fluids down there too
Thanks for doing the test so we can avoid doing the same mistakes. Basically no change in power. A 7hp difference can be due to tempe or atmospheric co ditions. You would better off playing with the timing and compression, if the head flow enough you might gain some hp.
The peak HP gains are cool and all... but when you look at the graphs you have those numbers faster down low were it counts, especially if you are going off road.
@@djdiheheidifhdhdje261 he’s talking about rear differential. 35’s need a 4.10 ratio or 4.56. Stock is 3.20. The gears spin the same with larger tires making it slower. Larger ratios are needed for bigger tires. Otherwise it’s a 25 second to 0-60.
new cool air & exhaust dyno 7 & 8 hp & torque bump cool across range no reprogramming from stock. God not worth it on good muffler but when replacing sure go bigger. The freeier cold air seems no brainer esp in hot climates
Had the same problem with my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited. 4inch suspension lift with 33s. Put in cold air intake and exhaust nothing worked. Then I regeared it. Put in 4.56 gears and the power came back. Guys make sure you regear it once those big tires come on.
Sure a little more power never hurts but in reality the issue you're suffering is simply a matter of gearing in my opinion. Of course if you have more rotational mass you are going to notice a loss in power, but in terms of putting 35s on with even 4.10 gearing, The issue shouldn't be power. I think the problem your experiencing most likely is not due to higher rotational mass. I believe you're going to notice a tremendous difference by regearing your Jeep. Maybe going to something like a 5.13 gear set. A lot of people(maybe not you) throw a cheap lift kit on a Jeep destroy the ride quality and put a lot of stress on the engine and transmission because they don't regear and fix geometry changes when they lift their Jeep. You put bigger tires on even just a couple of inches bigger chances are you've changed your gear ratio to a point where your vehicle is going to feel significantly more sluggish. When you put a lift on you change all the geometry of the Jeep and often times this causes wandering and sometimes it ends up resulting in death wobble and a whole slew of other issues related to driveline. Of course a couple of inches you're probably not going to notice that much of a difference if you've got adjustable trailing arms and have taken your Jeep to an alignment shop to have them adjusted properly, but on our Jeep Wrangler(4.5in lift) when we got it it was awful to drive, The shocks were terrible, All of the steering geometry was out of whack and it had bad ball joints on top of that. So after putting it nearly $5,000 in teraflex front end parts it drives like a dream. The only thing left to fix is the cheap shocks that came with the cheap lift kit. So take it from me If you'd like to lift your Jeep do it the right way, You're going to be so much more happy with the results and more comfortable driving it to far away places. No one likes a Jeep that wanders into other lanes or can't get out of its own way. I understand doing it the right way can oftentimes result in a lot more money spent and if that's the case well I can understand people trying to just get by with a cheap lift kit and upgraded as you go but just know what your getting into. Sometimes the best left kit is the one that you build on as you go. So when you go around town telling your friends and buddies not to get a Jeep and lift it because you've had a bad experience with it just know that when a lift is done right it rides like factory, or close.
I definitely like the sound and the horse power gain is nice as well. Not to happy with the air box. You hit water and you have water in your engine. The stock box is better at keeping water out of your engine.
Hello all you crazy Jeep owners! 😜👍 I finally bought a Jeep!! Just thrilled - got a 2014 Wrangler with 33's and a lift, and caught the bug ! My head is on a swivel going down the road looking at every cool Jeep mod that goes by. I'm sure a couple folks must have had their fingers ready to call 911 as I inspect their beautiful beast! HA! Took my son to Memphis and then Little Rock over the weekend - was having a great trip, until I noticed I was struggling to keep up with traffic. She was okay at 75, maybe 80 when passing others, but when I had to slow for traffic, it took some effort to get back to speed. Definitely looking to add some upgrades for even a little more oomph. Any additional suggestions are very much appreciated! This one looked like a fairly quick way to grab a few HPs. Thank you!
Add e3 spark plugs i swear by them my buddy did nothing but change his plugs to e3 at the track and shaved a full second off his 1/4 mile time. I run them in my rides and bikes too.
I would advise caution with a cold air intake and offroading. I've personally seen a few suck water in causing a junked hydrolocked engine. Very well made video. Thanks for the real life numbers based on the dyno!
Stock Rubi 4.10 does just fine on 35’s, could get away with 37’s on a manual. And yeah I’d be super cautious about water crossings with an intake like that.
what about the gear ratio, I have 37 tires and 5.13 gears and my jeep feels powerful, and the pick up is damn fast for a jeep, your exhaust does sound nice.
I have a 2016 with manual transmission and notice the low torque at lower rpm around 1500 to 2000. It looks like the bottom end where the 3.6 really needs it saw a healthy boost, but it’s hard to see the details in the video. How was the drive ability improved down low?
It does mean a huge difference when you know big tires and rims my brother his is stock and I have a big lift and tires and rims and I has a cold air intake and headers but still want more power I thought about seeing if a tuner or chip would make a difference but with the big heavy bumpers and roof rack add more weight but I'd love to just put a v8 in it but has to be ways to pull more power out the v6
man, that is very nice, im looking to do that as well after bumping up to 33s. so thats a dry filter, not one you have to lube up right? is it cleanable?
What gears you are running with those new big tires? They make a tool to get those damn exhaust donuts off too. Also running a larger aftermarket throttle body would help with more air with that intake.
I know this is kind of an old video but I was wondering how you like the wheels on your Jeep I just got them on mine and then found out their cast and I was worried about cracking and potentially off-road have you had any issues?
Great review and jeep looking good. but 7hp starting around 3200 rpm? I guess if you drive up in that range it is helpful, but im generally 3k and down. I am wondering if a snorkel wouldnt do a better job as a cold air intake. i like the exhaust tucked up like that too.
Probably among the greatest RUclips how to video. Not annoying like everyone else who showcases the damn box it came in for 10 min....
Thanks!
Amen. Box - not important! Nice explanation
Man I agree. Sounds like a professional tv show. I love it.

The sound difference is amazing! I really thought you were going to get more like 10 to 15 hp out of doing that. Wow.
Ecu needs adjusted. Look at the power curve. It is rough

The power will be even better after ~500km.
ECU will change the settings.
ecu will change air fuel ratio pretty much instantly
The auto transmission will learn and change as well.
As @@IGOPU explained ecu correct the afr right away or you would melt the piston on the first start making it lean.
Adding more airflow by itself won't do a thing to power, 7 HP difference can just be observed between two pulls back to back.
If you want power you need to move timing and or compression.
That’s pretty awesome gains across the power band. I think I’ll be installing a delta force air box as well, still debating on which specific exhaust to go with but the sound on yours is nice.
The best way to get power back after adding larger tires is a gear swap.
That’s like 2k
And it’s still not enough. Here in the mountains my jk on 37’s with 5:13 gears is a total dog

I have a 2016 with manual transmission and notice the low torque at lower rpm around 1500 to 2000. It looks like the bottom end where the 3.6 really needs it saw a healthy boost, but it’s hard to see the details in the video. How was the drive ability improved down low?
What was the total cost of this upgrade?
It does mean a huge difference when you know big tires and rims my brother his is stock and I have a big lift and tires and rims and I has a cold air intake and headers but still want more power I thought about seeing if a tuner or chip would make a difference but with the big heavy bumpers and roof rack add more weight but I'd love to just put a v8 in it but has to be ways to pull more power out the v6
2:09 ahh the clutch sound
If you change the exhaust headers, exhaust pipe and add a air airintake. Which is the best option to do any order works
man, that is very nice, im looking to do that as well after bumping up to 33s. so thats a dry filter, not one you have to lube up right? is it cleanable?
Are you thinking about changing the intake manifold?
I noticed your dif plate was different in the upgrade video of your exhaust. Did you re-gear as well?
Sounds sweet
Might want to try and re gear it
Absolutely needs a regear 4.88s minimum
Damn, you could climb a wall with the gearing
Its a 3.6 not 3.8
What size lift do you have and brand, also what brand of tires, your stance and look is perfect.
I dunno his but mine looks similar-ish
3.5 in lift
bfg ko2s 35s
planning on getting km3s 35s
0:18 I can relate...😂
nice sound; did you notice the running temperatures go down after these installs?
No, I don't think so. But we are also making more power, so I think it just evened out. Thanks for watching.
Great video
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Changed your diff cover too, I see.
Be interesting to see what hp the intake made. Also the dyno pull would be interesting with real world conditions. Hood closed.
What gears you are running with those new big tires? They make a tool to get those damn exhaust donuts off too. Also running a larger aftermarket throttle body would help with more air with that intake.
I know this is kind of an old video but I was wondering how you like the wheels on your Jeep I just got them on mine and then found out their cast and I was worried about cracking and potentially off-road have you had any issues?
Different gears in the back would have helped more. Plus u need to tell the ECU about ur wheels upgrade
Great review and jeep looking good. but 7hp starting around 3200 rpm? I guess if you drive up in that range it is helpful, but im generally 3k and down. I am wondering if a snorkel wouldnt do a better job as a cold air intake. i like the exhaust tucked up like that too.
