I would suggest either the ford or the YJ... My YJ box is rectangle... Only problem is my K&N is a piece of crap! I clean it regularly and use the recharger kit from K&N and it looks like someone got all purpose grease and smeared it all over it!!!
It may not be as airtight as you want it to be, most YJ's come with a tube to protect against water entering the box, but the previous owner of mine took it off. I don't have one. I found mud chunks in the bottom of my airbox. But... inside the tube after the filter it is very clean.
I had to take out my K&N and go back to paper filters because I could feel a huge difference in power and gas mileage. For example... I went down to Moab for EJS. I used 3/4 of a tank going down. Half way through I decided to buy a paper filter and see if that would make a change. Immediatly I felt a huge power increase. On the way home from Moab I used less than 1/2 a tank of gas!!! Amazing huh.
OH yeah, anyone heard of a YJ with stock gears, 4.0L and 33's getting 15 MPG???
I really want my K&N back so I am going to see if K&N will honor their million mile warranty.
