[QUOTE="Poisonous West, post: 15571097, member: 157145"] The Gimme 5" (127mm) intake is measured in OD and when you factor out the wall thickness the true ID is 123mm. The JLT 123mm intake has ONLY 120mm ID - nobody can argue with me because I bought this JLT 123 intake as my first mod. This JLT intake is the WORST design of intake for the GT500 and I can say JLT did not even know what they are doing. The filter has 5" opening with metal mesh - the stock has 5.5"opening with metal mesh. The metal mesh serve 2 purposes, 1 - the last line of defense in case large object get thru the filter element. 2 - it straighten the inlet air before reaching to the MAF sensor for measuring. But the down side of the metal mesh is efficiency drop. Metal Mesh efficiency in air filter usually between 0.21 to 0.24. So the total effective air filter opening needs to times 0.79 ( assume the efficiency is 0.21). In addition, metal mesh slows down inlet air speed. That's why the stock GT350 air filter do NOT have the metal mesh. There is a way to counter (eliminate) the metal mesh and there is a company out there doing this already. That's why I said JLT is so Stupid in term of design if they want to copy just copy the Real Good Design. Another thing that JLT intake design is bad is their intake do not incorporate the "Volecity stack" to speed up and smooth out the intake air before reaching to the MAF sensor. [/QUOTE]
