I want to upgrade my air intake but don't want to spend a ton. What are some good options? I have a 2012 Pat Altitude with the 2.0. I want to avoid some of these noisier units that sound like a go-kart when they run!

Don't waste your time and money. What little gain you would see would be almost unnoticeable. The engine doesn't make enough power to really reap any benefits from a CAI. You might see a 4-5 RWHP gain and that just isn't going to do anything for you.

The only CAI I have seen listed is the MOPAR one and it is BIG dollars. If you do add one make sure you upgrade the exhaust as well. You have to let all that extra air flowing in out.

I have the K&N 57-1552 and i love it. But i alo upgraded the exhaust at the same time. I would recommend it.

Yeah man. I got the Hushpower muffler, pipes and a black chrome tip. I love it! It's the deepest 4 banger i've heard!
