Kind of a dumb question for a Jeep, I know, but was just curious. I know it's been shown several times on this forum that a cold air intake doesn't do anything for power or mpg. Does it make the 4.0 sound a little nicer though? Right now I'm stock everything, so I have the stock engine note. Thought it would be cool if I could get more induction sound though, but I know these 4.0s will never actually sound "good". I don't really care for the droneiness of an aftermarket exhaust either.
Does a CAI make a TJ sound better?

Look up windstar intake mod if you want to hear the intake more. It is an actual cold air intake compared to the products marketed as such

How the hell did anyone ever come up with that process lol. It is one of those things that you would think nobody would even have any reason to try in the first place. Like the creation of cheese. Who ate milk that sat out for a few months? haha
this will not only make it sound good but also increase you MPG ! not as much as a FRAM oil filter though 
There are several good reasons for moving the airbox or pulling in cold air. If you don't know then you aren't doing modifications that require the stock airbox to go away
Yes, test run by unlatching the top of the air filter box…
A nice exhaust helps flow even better and does not need to be loud, link below is my notes and I hear the intake sound better than with the stock exhaust.

Mine (previous owner installed) sounds like $hit and I'm a person who likes the sound of internal combustion that is a little too loud.
You could also cut a motorcycle inner tube and zip tie over your tail pipe. That will make you the envy of the neighborhood. That sounds so cool everybody will look when you drive by.
You do that and AOC will be wanting to ban Car Farts.....
Next question. How can I make my radio louder so I can hear it over the engine?
Installed a cowel intake that gets actual colder air. It’s loud, sounds like a ricer car on hard acceleration.
Intake temps are down 30-50 deg depending on conditions.
Can climb a steep grade on I-17 10mph faster than before.

That looks EXACTLY like the AEM. Did Mopar actually offer this or might it be the AEM with a Mopar sticker.. ?

The rule of thumb I read was .9 % increase for every 10 degree drop. Like you mentioned it needs to be a getting its air from outside the engine compartment to be a true cold air design. I have mine grabbing air from behind the headlight and hood seem.
