    I have a K&N CAI on my '09 4.0L Sport, when I am coming from a stop and accelerating it sounds like there is a creeking noise coming from the front passenger side of the engine bay area (where the CAI is located), could be coincidence or something else altogether. Any thoughts? I have tried tightening all the bolts on the K&N CAI to see if maybe something was just not fully tightened. Only hear the noise when initially accelerating.

    Check that the filter housing isn't touching the body. When I had one, it did this and put some foam tape between the filter and body. Also check that all your bolts are snugged.
