Can't go wrong with a JLT CAI

Jlt or c&l, either or the jlt doesn't fit under strut tower brace tho so keep that in mind

The newest design from JLT should fit under a 2-point Steeda brace.

Stock tube with a filter is just fine. No gains to be had with others.

Just get a used jlt.

Seriously the stock 1 is as good as an aftermartket 1?

might be, but better off spending money on something else. gains are minimal at best over stock with aftermarket, but hey, money to burn...go for it.

Just curious, my car had a JLT on it when I bought it. The big one that stays constant diameter all the way, but once it goes into the fender, it 90's straight down and the filter is almost at the ground. Are all JLTs for our cars like that?

I'm not real comfortable having the filter being being so close to the road, she's my DD so I'm worried about sucking up water. Been thinking about switching to a different one

stock tube, remove the silencer. benefits: looks stock [cause it is] which adds to the stealth effect.

don't know if that is the normal way it mounts, but I would be concerned about the water. we have to down here!!! others have had that problem on different stangs and I had that style (out of the fender and down) at one time on my Bullitt and took it off because it got seriously wet. wet/dry vac not good for an intake :rolling:

My jlt goes into the fender and I've never sucked up water

if you check out the new muscle mustangs and fast fords this month. i saw that they installed a Ram Air JLT on a 98 cobra and only gained 5rwhp and with a tune. just stick with the stock one and save for Long tubes if you dont have them good luck

thanks for all replies! Tuner order and long tube and under drive pulleys.

And I bet the tune was responsible for 99% of the gain. CAI are for looks only.

Yeah, I'm really not liking this CAI especially since we've been having constant monsoons here. Did a little research and found the Ram Air upgrade kit for just 150 so I'm gonna go that route SOON

For those with the stock box did you use a K&N filter or just paper?
