Get whichever one you think looks better. They'll be very comprable, performance wise. I have the GSM and love how it looks.

^^^ I agree. Performance wise, they are all parallel. I have the DUB, and could not be happier with the choice.

i installed the dub yesterday, few observations

1. Harder to install than expected , the new airbox does not fit well on the old base(made an adjustment to coolant reservoir latch)...red tubing is hard to install...
2. Looks nice - Shiny metal and red combo
3.. This unit is loud at wot ... i was suprised at how much lowder at wot this thing is

I have the GSM and I love it.I think HP wise they are about the same.As far as looks the Dub looks nicer but you are paying more.I would go with the Dub if it was an item that was going to be on the outside of the Jeep,but since it is under the hood I would go with the GSM.

I'm going with DUB... it will look nice under the hood with the Inferno Red coloring.

i got the gsm a little while back and no problems with it besides the fact i didn't get installation instructions and the black paint on the metal box which surrounds the air filter started to chip almost instantaneously

I've heard other complaints on the GSM version too, that some have been shipped with missing parts which is totally inexcusable. The black paint chipping shows very poor quality which is unacceptable for what these kits sell for. The Mopar version uses premium quality materials throughout and also doesn't look like it was built in someone's garage like some of the CAI kits out there.

The GSM was my first choice but after reading about someone getting the GSM unit with some missing parts and then going through weeks of email and calls to try and get the part I decided to go with the Mopar unit.

I have had no problems with my GSm CAi at all,I love it.Paint chipping???Thats weird,mine is fine.If the paint is chipping just send it back to scott and I am sure they will be happy to send you a new one.As far as parts missing,I do recal one person complaining that a bolt and the Rain sheild was missing but Scott sent that right out to him.

Yeah the GSM instructions were not that good, and my kit was missing a couple of bolts or nuts. Other then that tho, the kit came quick, it looks awesome, and doesn't make alot of noise either. SOTP I couldn't really tell any difference. With a Complete Exhaust Setup and Tune, this kit will definately work to its full capacity. JMHO.
