Your more seeing people post this, than us posting it, because the filters with the screen, placement really doesn't matter due to the way it's built.
These have been shipping for at over a year and don't come into play on the 2013 as all kits for 13's had the screen.
Pre screen some people will push the filter on farther than it should be for smooth air flow, pushing the tube into the filter.
It's just to eliminate something simple, but really is not an issue with the filters that have the screen built in.

So what you are saying is the screen is a filter stop?
Wouldn't it be easier to put a filter stop on the tube itself so any filter can be used on your tube.
Not everyone is running this new filter on your cai.(or might not like that filter)
* I would also think a bell mouth would be nice, It would improve the transition from the filter to the meter which will flow smoother air across the sensor with less turbulence and be a great stop/filter mount.
With these 2 features there would be allot less of a chance to install incorrectly. The CAI would be repeatable in every car. It would be a standard fit like fords cai which are repeatable in every car.
There would be one correct transfer curve for your cai which no tuner should need to tweak.

It's obvious you didn't read any of the thread and anything about the new filter or the happy customers not having issues and your only trying to cause trouble.
All 2013 GT500 are running the screen filter as it's been out longer than the car.
Thanks for your incite, but I know your intentions are to start a war.
When 90% of the GT50's run a JLT, your going to have a %'s that run one way or another, but you forget that a tune is involved and blame parts.
As I said many times, the way these are made it's 100% repeatable due to the mold process.
Cars and tunes are not.
All MAF transfers need a tweak here and there, that's "tuning"

Here, this should clear up the filter install issue for you.

Thanks,
As you can see the first filter inner flange is deep and tube placement isn't critical. It could be in a inch or more and it can't protrude into the filter area.
Great quick video, thanks for posting
Good to know

That is one of the reasons for the filter stop on the new filter. If the intake tube is pushed too far into the filter it can cause air flow distortion like Tucker mentioned in an earlier post. Glad you worked it out.
Update
Just wanted to give a update to this post. I received the heat shield for the 13-14 and a new style dry filter and installed them. Problems solved car drives like it did when it was stock.:banana::banana:
I also want to give a thank you to JLT for taking the time to listen to their customers and give them what they want and deliver a world class product and the service to back to up.

Please, what happened to the video, I am having some issues w the GT500 since I installed the intake. I have not changed my tune from the purchase of the Big Air 127MM CF /SCT Tuner Combo. Thanks Kev
maybe change the tune to work right?
