Up grade air flow system

Hi everyone
Just wondering has anyone ever upgraded the air flow system on a Suzuki Jimny to a induction kit/cone filter ? Maybe it will add a small amount of power? If not it will just look cool under the bonnet?
I have a 2007 Jimny
Thanks

In my humble experience of these devices I don't believe it will do much to the performance in real terms, but It may sound faster if you can hear the induction over the general Jimny rattle's.
It's not such a good idea if you like wading through water, but if you are road biased and like the look why not, enjoy your Jimny

If anything you'll lose a bit of power. The standard intake picks up cool air from in front of the radiator. A cone filter will get warm air from under the bonnet. Warm air is bad for power.
If you want it for the looks and sound, that's a different matter.

Stock they pull air from behind the off side headlight up through a convoluted pipe in the top of the wing and through into the air box. I looked into an induction style to remove the pipe in the wing but then changed to my current Jimny before I amassed parts. I may have another go eventually but ultimately it's all limited by the throttle body opening.

There are definitely gains to be made over the standard setup, which has been made with practicality and low noise in mind rather than performance. I have a couple of spare airboxes, so I might try drilling one. It will still be drawing in air from the same part of the engine bay, albeit 2 inches lower, and it will remove the convoluted mess of pipes behind the wing that Lambert mentions.

you need x2 57mm o/d 1d elbows some 57mm i/d hose
then route it in front of radiator.......or anywhere you choose
this removes the convoluted madness giving lots more flow
