Best 22RE Intake!

You could run a 6" tube on that intake and it won't make a lick of difference.
Check the area at the AFM flapper and compare that area to the 55mm stock TB. They're really pretty close.
Both are going to be the "bottlenecks" of this system, assuming the 22RE actually can use more air.
No offense intended...
Want to do something that will work - get cold air into that intake. The stock system results in manifold temps of 125 degrees at 75 degrees ambient.
There is power to be had by dropping that intake temp.. :-)

to make it even better you should switch the battery location with the airbox, its been done before i think there's a write up somewhere on this site

I'd love to measure intake temps with a snorkle setup.

thank you guys so much for your input. i was always thinking along with dcg9381... cold dense air is good, but for functionality i wanted to keep the stock air box up high and away from dirt and water. i was just trying to create a larger, smoother path for the air to travel, and thus increase air intake volume. maybe ill make an intake that replaces the battery this weekend. would you guys be more interested in buying an intake that locates the filter where the stock battery is? ie: away from the radiator?

I like the idea of the cold air intakes but I like playing in the mud more. What about a cold air intake with a switchplate blocking off a short kick off to the side for a snorkel?

that might be a good idea, maybe locate the filter in the passenger side fender? i was trying to maybe market something more "direct replacement" or "bolt on" though. since you are into the mud how do you feel about the stock air box vs the conical filter? haha, im all about the box

Well as far as the mud and filters go, I'm thinking of just pulling the air from behind my glovebox and cutting a hole through the firewall for another tube. Not planning on using a filter in that setup since there won't be much to filter except a couple spiders maybe lol.

If I had the money I'd think about it and how well it would work for what I do. With the way I look at my trucks I'd rather them function and could care less about looks, rust is a color right? These tubes look like a good deal but when I live paycheck to paycheck it would be hard for me to be able to buy one over the other 100 things I want to do to my rig. The most expensive thing I've gotten for my truck so far is spending $140 on used 33 x 12.5 x 15 a/t's with 40% tread on ford rims and that was only because I can sell the rims to make it easier. I think its a good product and idea that you have in mind right now tho.

if it were me personally I'd look at buildup threads and see how much time or effort people put into their intakes, how many go aftermarket vs. how many go home grown. Put up a feeler thread on a couple boards about who would be interested in something like that and keep the thread current so people will feel like giving a lot of feedback. From those buildup threads send pm's and see who would be interested in your setup. Make one for yourself and get hard data to support why yours is better than xyz brand, see if some friends want to try one.
As far as a price you gotta figure out what the cost of materials is and how long it takes you to make. Think about if you would want to do the relocation of the stock intake to the battery box side and maybe make two working models if you can get two test subjects and note the differences between them such as cost of each, temperature differences, performance differences, ease of installation, and the like. Yes it sounds like a lot of things to look into but the more thought you put into something the easier it is to get it to succeed. One thing to keep in mind is that there seems to me that there are basically 3 groups of 4wheelers, guys that buy and mod 07 fj's($$$$$$), guys that do it themselves as cheap as possible, and guys that do a lot themselves but do put money in where its a big enough benefit. This would most likely have 0 effect on the guys going as cheap as possible unless its like a junkyard cost but could pull some good money out of the other 2 groups.

That intake looks pretty good. If you could figure out a way to afford a dyno with and without I am sure there is a market. Anything above a 5hp gain would probably make it worthwhile. Good luck.

thanks! i do have access to a dyno and i was planning to compare the stock intake, 2.75 tube and trueflow in the stock location, and the battery location intake with the cone filter (unless i can fit the box on the battery side).
