Hey ya all. I've looked all over for an intake other than the K&N due to the fact it has bad reviews as far as not being so good in filtering dirt. Does anyone whose got the K&N FIPK attest to this? What's the best out there for an 04 cause that's when they added the air temp sensor hose and airflow switch? Help!
"04 Liberty Air Intake"

Okay, cost effectiveness isn't a good trade off, meaning the gain from the K&N FIPK doesn't equate the +$200 cost.
I have used a full K&N intake on previous vehicles and the gain was considerable.
I would spend the money on a freeflow muffler and a panel K&N filter.
Save some in the end. That's what I did and if I can keep my foot out of the pedel, because the gained HP is fun, I'll get a better than stock mileage return...
The only benefit is not having to replace the filter element.
The people claiming the "dirt" are measuring dirt so small it's not going to affect anything. But if you're worried about the dirt, that's what the oil's for. Go over to Syn oil and change it on a regular basis and use a good filter and the "dirt" is taken care of.
Now if you don't care about the cost of the FPIK, go for it, horsepower is always good.
Hope that helped.

Might be worth it to try this setup #-o first and return the filter if not satisfied.

I have personally found my oil getting dirty faster with my K&N's and I clean and oil it once in a while.
Every time I go off road I have to take it out and beat the dirt, bugs, leaves and other unidentifiables off it. Water splashes up along with mud. In sandy dusty conditions it ***** it up like an shop vac.
on the street its fine.

Yes.
Nothing was done to the 05 engine when it was revised. They were all styling cues.
