Status: offline 		All I can say is wow, compared to the stock brakes these new upgraded brakes are very impressive. Just got em installed, haven't had a chance to run yet being that we have enough rain to haul Noah's ark around. The pads look like they actually have pad-like material on em. When I took off the old rotor which had melted it looked like there was a thread like material once all the plastic melted away. I took a few pics of old vs new but they didn't turn out so here are some pics of the truck itself. I need to lower the body mount assemblies to make the Wrangler body look right. I also bought a 2 pack of exhaust deflectors and got a wild idea to turn my pro flow air filter into a cold air intake job seems to work pretty well atm..

Status: offline 		***Just an update, Those brakes are well worth the money, Excellent stopping power. Much better than the stock brakes which go limp and melt after 3 or 4 tanks. The only thing I can see being a potential problem is pad life/wear being that the rotor is vented (drilled and slotted) Anyone lookin for a decent upgrade get ya some upgraded brakes well worth it....

As long as it STAYS TOGETHER it should be fine. If it falls off upside down in the dirt, it will be anything but fine. If you're zip tying the filter to the flexible silicone exhaust extension, it's bound to fall off. Plus, the ID of the exhaust extension is probably smaller than the ID of the carb, isn't it?

If you're going to do it, do it right: slip the exhaust bit over a piece of pipe, and slip the pipe inside the filter. Zip tie them both.

Status: offline 		obviously if the air fitler falls off it will be not a good thing, i dont think he was asking about that, i think he meant if there was an air flow problem.
