I just bought a used Grand Cherokee Summit that already had the K&N intake installed. I think it sounds like it means business and the acceleration is awesome.
Do u have to take the negative battery cable off When you put the KNN on her also I have a 5.7 and I do not get that whoosh sound did I do something wrong
Hey, I just watched your vid the other day on this same topic lol. Already loving how close knit this community is, less than two weeks until I get my Overland 🙏🏽
So I finally just got my k&n intake couple days ago and was wondering why it says that you have to disconnect the negative battery before installing it?
BlklimitedX is the reason I got one installed on my Grand Cherokee. It definitely give you a little more kick. It’s a little loud but you’ll get used to it. Congrats on the upgrade!
Yes to everyone on here. I mentioned this around two months ago on this site. I have a 2020 Trailhawk and it definitely added performance and a nice sound. Granted, it's nothing like a Borla exhaust but then it's way less than spending 2 grand. Love the way mine sounds and performs. Take care.
Yeah I think I’m gonna go ahead and order one now for my ‘17 GC Trailhawk. I’m dying to hear what it will sound like in Sport mode once I get that swapped out. Awesome vids btw man.
There's many reasons why it sounds like that. By removing the factory intake, you have eliminated the resonators which dampen the sound coming from the intake, which is why you couldn't hear it before. Now with a straight pipe and big filter, the resonance from the intake plenum as the piston is vacuuming the air into the cylinder comes right back out from the intake and thus the loud growl you hear. It's even louder on the outside.
I found with outside air temp over 110, the Jeep with the K&N is a slug. Lack of throttle response, too much hot engine bay heat going into engine. Removed mine and returned to stock, much improved throttle response, less interior noise by far! I can hear the Borla exhaust now.
Good tip for some cars, but these as well as most Chrysler engines don't use mass air flow. They use speed density. So the sensor on the intake is an air charge temp sensor, not as sensitive to oil or dirt build up as mass air flow sensors.
I'm assuming your 2021 Limited X has the Sport hood. (SRT hood). Do you notice any water getting on the filter from the hood vents? I just bought a 2021 X also. and this concerns me.
lol, the factory box with a regular K&N filter and large slots would be a better fit. Add the K&N tube replacement would probably be better fit and same results. Sound is disappointing. I have the Hemi v8 and in sport mode mine sounds so much better. I’m thinking of modifying mine.
Honest question… why install a CAI if you don’t like the sound? The sound is about as expected as swapping a muffler. You know it’ll change the tone. And did you consider the AFE intakes? They’re a bit more but a lot of them either utilize the stock bottom air box and they’re enclosed. So you get the performance but with muted sound.
Do you notice your engine running a little hotter at idle, especially in the drive-thru line? I assume it's sucking in that hot engine air when you don't have any fresh air being forced to it. I wish it didn't have the massive gap in the "heat shield" box around it...
My 2021 v8 gc trailhawk gets delivered in 1 week. I was thinking about doing this but I think I'll skip it. Plus the gap in the hood seal looks strange. I'm sure it performs though, thanks for the vids.
I have a 2020 Grand Cherokee Overland with the HEMI that I purchased new. I asked the Dodge/Jeep dealer I purchase it from if they would install the K&N intake on it. They sell K&N products but refused to install it. They said it is not recommended for the vehicle. Really?
@@BJPLIFESTYLE thanks! I just lifted and put 275/65r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on and so far I’ve only notice go down about 1mpg. Still getting around 19-20
Most intakes aren’t going to really add much if any HP gain, it’s mainly sound. Unless you’re combining it with a full exhaust system, headers and a tune
I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee altitude with a corsa exhaust and my next mod is actually goin to be the k&n intake, the newer one that they made that increase to 28hp. People say that they see a huge increase in sound and performance, just wondering what's your opinion?
At first I wasn’t sure, but after driving it around all day today it’s pretty fun to get on it and hear it rip. Not sure about the horsepower gains because they go back and forth about it
Never had that issue at all, only thing I was concerned about was the filter itself… but they make a bag that protects it if you drive in the rain a lot
Let me get this straight, you were ripping up and down that street at 60 mph and complaining because a guy pulled out and was probably doing the speed limit?
Save your stock intake, because cold air intakes are only good at making the manufacturer money, no power increase, just expensive million mile filters that last less than 20k
Put a kit in my 2016 GC 5.7 and it sound great. Matter of fact it sounds real angry and wild. I am 62 and love it. It reminds me of a old days building hot rods. Just leave it alone it runs great You're probably squeeze extra gas mileage out of it too.. if you're not into the pedal a lot. 😂🐻🇺🇸
@@albertopagano2650 ... Well it got rid of a slight delay when I put my pedal into it. Sounds great.... yes getting rid of that big rectangle box in front made a difference. But I get 11 to 15 mpg. I love the sound of a V8..🐻🇺🇸
I was thinking of doing a KandN intake on my 16, 75th anniversary . Curious to see what you think the Cons on, long term if it messes with the performance. Sounds good tho ,
You really need to read the instructions first. You must disconnect the negative battery cable before you begin this job. Your onboard computer will reset by doing this and when you fire up your K&N afterwards the computer will respond to the new airflow intake and make those micro adjustments. Good video otherwise.
What happen when u just change the K&N ? I have 5.7 don’t hear nothing The dealer did mine. Should I disconnect the negative battery and wait 3 minutes I don’t hear no whine at all
Wanted to do this but then I saw Scotty's video and I decided to not do it 😅 also good luck fixing that screen a replacement at a dealership is like 3-4k. That's what I was told and the guy recommended me to get an aftermarket replacement instead. So that's what I did
"We don't read directions, we just send it!..." (Continues to film how to INSTRUCTIONAL video on how to do something...) Really man, I appreciate the vid and thanks, but promoting idiots to not read and follow directions will lead them down a unnecessarily hard path...
So disconnecting the NEGATIVE BATTERY connection not necessary as the installation directions stated? I'm assuming for both Safety as well as RESETTTING the computer CPU w/ making necessary adjustment calculations based on new hardware feedback by the K&N system......
Drop in intake filter is wayyy better than the CAI. Jeep designed the intake system perfectly in my opinion, the filter is what allows it breathe more air easier not the tubing.
Did you unhook the battery? The instructions say you should but my chevy 2500 has like 10 things hooked up to it which will make that a bitch. I'm just wondering is that really needed?
@@BJPLIFESTYLE wow thanks for answering that before I even finished the video lol. And yeah I went to take that on today but I had limited time. When I looked at the battery which is nuts on this truck compared to every other vehicle I've ever owned I shut er down for the day lol. And yeah that is all I can think too. You probably don't wanting the sensor touching something else had but I'd I wrap it in a rag or something and keep it from contacting anything else I figure (hope) it would be ok. Cheers
Could you do a video on cleaning your Jeep? I’ve spent around $100 now on cleaning supplies and I’m not liking everything. I don’t really know what to buy next. I bought rainX for my windows but it’s crap!! Thanks

Do you wanna get rid of that other k&n air filter?
I just bought a used Grand Cherokee Summit that already had the K&N intake installed. I think it sounds like it means business and the acceleration is awesome.
Nice! It definitely adds some beefiness to the front end!
Do u have to take the negative battery cable off When you put the KNN on her also I have a 5.7 and I do not get that whoosh sound did I do something wrong

be sure to not over oil the K&N filter or you can foul up your MAF sensor.

It sounds awesome now. If that's not the sound you're looking for then what sound are you looking for? Perhaps you'd be better off with a Prius? JK
I need a lifted prius tbh

That would actually be cool if you did that TBH
I added to my 2021 jeep grand cherokee limited X and I love it!
Nice!! It sounds so much better!
I'm assuming your 2021 Limited X has the Sport hood. (SRT hood). Do you notice any water getting on the filter from the hood vents? I just bought a 2021 X also. and this concerns me.
Does it still "whine" under load ? Heard you lose that amazing sound when you change the intake !
Thanks for the video… I’m about to pull the trigger for my 2011 Grand Cherokee 3.6. Hoping to see an improved engine sound
Did you install it? Thoughts

K&Ns have an issue with having too much oil on the filter, can mess up your sensors if not cleaned properly

I hear what you're saying haha
Wheeeeeeeew it sounds hella good Bro 💪🏾💪🏾🤘🏾😤
Thanks!!!
All is good. Engine is breathing better...
Nice blow threw jump cut install vid with no close ups so we can see how to do it properly
Did you unplug the negative terminal from he battery ?
I have a 2011 3.6L JGC. Wondering if it's worth it. K&N AF already. What year is that one?
It’s a 2018!
Also if i change it i was thinking of a AFE, is it worth it for the money dif in your opinion ?
AFE is good if you're going with a closed intake for better "cold" air. Otherwise if you just want some sound the K&N does fine
I told you to do this so long ago, so glad you finally did it! I love mine
I think I like it more now that I drove around all day with it lol
Do you need to disconnect the battery? Any issues so far?
No issues! I didn't disconnect the battery for it.
Sounds Good N Powerful
7:34 has some déjà vu lol
Have you noticed any difference in MPGs? I’ve seen a lot of people say that it does, doesn’t, etc.
I’ve only had it on for a day or so, so not really enough time to notice! I’ll definitely make an updated review video after a while
@@BJPLIFESTYLE thanks! I just lifted and put 275/65r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on and so far I’ve only notice go down about 1mpg. Still getting around 19-20
You will notice a lower MPG because you will want to keep your foot in it for longer and hear the intake.
I like the sound!
What is the hp gain? And is it really noticeable?
Most intakes aren’t going to really add much if any HP gain, it’s mainly sound. Unless you’re combining it with a full exhaust system, headers and a tune

You should get a 5.7 V8 bro , V6s for the lady
I like it better than stock... the sound....it sounds like that becauseu dont have the intake silencer anymore 😏
Only reason holding me back is the oil issue on the k&n filter
I haven't heard too many serious complaints about the oiled filters, otherwise they wouldn't be so popular. Send it!!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE thanks for the reply. Are you ever worried water will pull in through that gap in the rubber

Start up doesn't change, idle rev maybe a tiny bit but not really. It only really affects the car under load as it goes higher on the RPMs
Future reference, dont show your speed on an open road in a vid.
It was testing in Mexico, no worries 🙂
