Ordered the full setup from S&B. Intake installed but hood scoops are on back order til August 😢. Makes a difference! And can’t beat the sound. Can’t wait til the scoops are here!
just ordered my S&B for my rubicon 2.0 pretty excited to get it on and to here turbo,just haven't pulled the trigger on the hood scoops but there aswome!!!!
If you dremel the bottom of the existing hood scoops it opens them up just fine. There is a youtube video showing that according to a dyno that the stock airbox is better in HP and Torque than the S&B. So you can save yourself over $600 (S&B and hood scoop package) with just a little dremel work.
Thanks Larry. Doing some research it doesn't seem as though there is any added benefit to changing out the box. I was going to go with the scoops alone, figuring that it certainly can't hurt to suck in cooler air into the engine bay, and save the $400 on the box, but I'll try this first, and see if I can save another $200. If not, I'll order the scoops only.
You might want to do a lot more research! That jt fool had no idea what he was doing. Go look at s and bs Dyno shop videos on several jeeps proving that clown wrong! Ffs
Thanks for this upload. Its a very slick design configuration. I saw that there are scoop covers for possibly using during cold weather to contain under hood heat which is great. Im not sure if this is mentioned in the nomenclature, but what is the protocol for when it rains and the passenger side scoop is paired with the S&B cold air box? It seem that it would go in the vent (especially when at a rate of speed) and route down into the airbox.
We're waiting for a rainy day to go drive it and test it. There are little covers for the scoops for when things get really wet. czcams.com/video/E0O6Gh3P-eM/video.html
they look good, but not for 299 dollars. that's insanely expensive. You could just take your scoops out and cut the bottom plastic off and open them up
Dust? Every filter I've changed had a dirty air box on the intake side. I've also never seen an air box that didn't have a drain hole in the bottom. I doubt either will be an issue.

The cold air system has a lid on for a reason. 4×4 wheeling would have a more direct line to the air filter with dirt and dust wouldn't it? I like the idea but I'm not sure of the way it would preform in dirt. A car on a paved road yes but on a 4×4 in the dirt, I'm not convinced.
Why don’t you make the hood scoops for all types of hood vents in relation (anniversary hood) as well. And that’s more affordable instead of telling people to go buy a whole new hood. There are jk owners and older models that may want that and have the s&b intake already.
Sadly doesn't work of driving in a snow storm, especially on the highway in a snow or ice storm, the scoop ices up and or fills up with snow and your air gets blocked off bad.
@@northridgenation What about a precover that blocks water and dust for the filter and putting a weep hole in the bottom of the air box to drain excess water ?
@@kurtnulf3362 There is a water diversion channel with a bleed nipple on the underside manifold to help divert the water away the filter and then it bleeds off. Similar to what is on a Semi-truck.
Man I would really appreciate it if you send me the size for these. I'm not using these for a jeep but for another application. I JUST NEED THE with , Length and height.
If you order just the scoops today, is the attachment piece included if you later add the whole system? Is there a different part number if you want the scoop attachment directly to the filter on the passenger side?
We've ran them up here in the raining PNW and haven't had any issues. That said, S&B does include block-off plugs for the scoops to close them off during really heavy rain.

Light rain has never been a problem, there is a water drain built into the underside. For the heavy rain, the kit comes with 2 block off plugs. We're still running them here in the rainy Pacific Northwest over a year later and have had no problems.
I like it but you never said anything about water getting in through the scoop in the the S&B box, and the driver side one water all over the engine compartment
We've had these installed for a few years now and haven't had much problem and that's in the rainy PNW. There are plugs to plug off the scoops when it is raining really bad. The air box side has a drain to drain water out.

Just got the notice that off back order and on the way!
Your right reminds me of the old shaker hoods on the Chargers and cuda back in the 70
just ordered my S&B for my rubicon 2.0 pretty excited to get it on and to here turbo,just haven't pulled the trigger on the hood scoops but there aswome!!!!
I like the look and functionality makes sense... I’m just not sure about having to add the covers on every time it rains.
Reasonable question, no answer after 7 months? It looks like the vents you took out each had a hole in them as well.
@@sovereignmercy1 yes they have a hole but the insulation has a path to move the water to the fender area and away from the engine.
Seen them for the first time on Iron Man JT build, immediately bought a set they were so cool looking.
I like them they look cool. I plan on getting the whole system for my Gladiator Rubicon when I get it

For a stock Gladiator you are correct. With a Supercharger like myself, this gives more power.

Ok. Do a yarn test on the hood and show me the airflow patterns.
They'll likely work better if turned around; ala cowl induction.
Super excited about this cannot wait till I receive mine! I didn’t know it comes with covers! That’s a plus
Same here just ordered mine. Would not if there was no covers.
Yes you will need longer screws to help you squeeze it together enough to start the short screws
What size exactly for the longer screws?
Nice functional addition! Do they channel water out to the sides like original? Thanks
Definitely badass! I'd go with just the scoops though.
Solid mod. Thanks for the video. 😁
Thats a cool mod. Time to look for a Rubicon hood. These would make me install the s&b filters
Just received mine and installed I’m liking it. Nice quality.
Sweet!
Need this for the JL diesel

@@northridgenation thanks.. i look forward to hearing about the effects in the rain
Would rain be a issue for the intake side?
Commented before finishing video 😅 nice that it comes with a cap.
they look good, but not for 299 dollars. that's insanely expensive. You could just take your scoops out and cut the bottom plastic off and open them up
That's a great option for those who want to retain the look of the factory vents.
Pretty cool upgrade and functional👍. My only concern would be water and dust.
The scoops do come with a set of covers for those extreme environs.
Dust? Every filter I've changed had a dirty air box on the intake side. I've also never seen an air box that didn't have a drain hole in the bottom. I doubt either will be an issue.

It comes with rubber covers that go over the intake to keep dirt and Rain from directly going in
Have you not looked at a snorkel?
Why don’t you make the hood scoops for all types of hood vents in relation (anniversary hood) as well. And that’s more affordable instead of telling people to go buy a whole new hood. There are jk owners and older models that may want that and have the s&b intake already.
Scoops for the JK hood would be awesome. Maybe S&B will look at building those.
Sadly doesn't work of driving in a snow storm, especially on the highway in a snow or ice storm, the scoop ices up and or fills up with snow and your air gets blocked off bad.
I love the look, functionality is hurt a little if rain water gets sucked into the air filter.
That's why S&B includes the block off plugs.

Jeez, there are some sensitive JL & JT owners here. Maybe do research & see that they’ve figured out the issues/concerns you have.
Have you guys put more miles on these hood scoops? Any updates?
What about rain drainage?
If you are in severe rain, there are block off plugs in the kit.
@@northridgenation Is there an updated version of his to where it channels rain or mud to the side like what the Rubicon does?
Man I would really appreciate it if you send me the size for these. I'm not using these for a jeep but for another application. I JUST NEED THE with , Length and height.
I have the 2014 with the same or at least similar hood. Is there a kit for mine?
They haven't built them for the JK hood yet, maybe if enough people ask, they will.
So what about the rain going in when U drive.
A little rain won't hurt.
If it is big rain, then it is recommended to put the plugs in.
looks tough!!!
Excellent
If you order just the scoops today, is the attachment piece included if you later add the whole system? Is there a different part number if you want the scoop attachment directly to the filter on the passenger side?
Yes, you can just order the scoops and then later add the CAI system.
Do they let hot air out from under the hood while driving slow on trails?
Been waiting for one of these but 200$ just for the scoops is ridiculous.
299 LOL just cut the factory ones
Saved me looking ty. That's absolutely ridiculous lol
It would be cool if they had like a cap to seal them on rainy days
Check 5:41
like it but no save during mud water
What about rain and dust
S&B includes plugs if you get into severe dust or rain.
Where does the rain water go? Looks like an excessive amount of water will enter the engine bay and cause issues!
It does go into the engine bay. It could cause problems over the long run.
The kit comes with plugs to run in the rain..
125% disappointed the diesel scoop does not connect to the air box like the gas 👎🏽.
Yes, we agree 100%.
Is S&B making a filter for the JL diesel?
We're sure they are, though haven't heard anything yet.
what about rain in winter not good for motor
There are small covers that snap into place. Check out at the 5:40 mark on the video>
czcams.com/video/E0O6Gh3P-eM/video.html
I wouldn't want to be looking for my caps everytime it rains or snows, they do look cool though.
Any update on making this for the Mojave hood so it can be functional also?
We haven't heard any news from S&B on a Mojave hood version.
what about all the water constantly soaking your engine?
That is a concern and why they come with block plates for inclement weather.
What about the water coming inn??
We've been running those up here in the raining PNW and haven't had issues.
If it is raining really hard, we pop in the little covers.
I have a 2012 Jeep Rubicon. I do not have any vents in my hood. Would this still work?? Thanks
Unfortunately no, these are for the JL and JT models.
Are there any that you might recommend?? Thanks
How are these working out? Thinking about them for a diesel…
They've been on for over a year now and working great.
Any idea how much if any this increases hp?
It's not going to do much for horsepower. It will help cool the engine bay, which will help your Jeep in the long run.
I live in a desert area. Would dust and lots of sand be an issue?
We'll know more once we get some miles on them.
@@northridgenation It's been 7 months now...
Performance / dyno improvements?
Unfortunately S&B hasn't done any dyne testing on the scoops that we know of.
Do they make this for the Mojave hood scoop?
Not at this time.
I believe Mopar has a kit to make the Mojave hood scoop functional.
Can you confirm how much HP can this add to the engin?
There are no confirmed reports of HP gain.
Northridge4x4 Then it makes no sense to install them!
You now have a direct channel for water to flow into your engine next splash.
Would this work on JK? Or any rubi hood ?
Unfortunately the JL and JK hood vents are different and these would not be a bolt-in swap for the JK.
Northridge4x4 thanks for the info
What about water get in to it? I mean in the rainy days? I’m a new owner of a jeep
We've ran them up here in the raining PNW and haven't had any issues.
That said, S&B does include block-off plugs for the scoops to close them off during really heavy rain.
We're can I buy one

@@northridgenation you guy's don't ship to Australia I can not order it
What about when it rains? That filters gonna drink some water!
The kit includes plugs that close up the scoops when needed.
@@northridgenation If you have the S&B Airbox kit and you put the plugs in, how does the engine get any air at all?
@@michaelludwig2589 No answer... not surprising.
@@michaelludwig2589 There’s a second intake on the side of the airbox towards the passenger side I believe.
Way to costly for some plastic parts !!!! They work but for that kinda of loot you can get this and other mods ...
Nice video ,,, Price ????? 😊👍

299 full kit, 199 just the hood vents. For something that could cost a lot more if rain or snow gets into it. Big PASS!
What happens when it rains??
They have block off plates for heavy rain.
It will feed fresh air right into your air box.. oh and rain, it will feed rain in there to 😄
Light rain has never been a problem, there is a water drain built into the underside. For the heavy rain, the kit comes with 2 block off plugs.
We're still running them here in the rainy Pacific Northwest over a year later and have had no problems.
A little water here and there is good for an engine.
All great until it rains....
That's what the plugs are for.
I like it but you never said anything about water getting in through the scoop in the the S&B box, and the driver side one water all over the engine compartment
We've had these installed for a few years now and haven't had much problem and that's in the rainy PNW.
There are plugs to plug off the scoops when it is raining really bad.
The air box side has a drain to drain water out.
