Hi guys,
I have been reading through the pages here and notice there is that a lot discussion about C&L "trueflow" and "Race", JLT II, and Steeda intakes.

Which do you think is best for the Mustang GT?

 

From what I have read, because I dont have one either yet and want to get one, is that the big players JLT and C&L have comparable performance gains. the demolet tunable induction also offers similar performance. all of these kits require a tuner.

the non-tuner required kits (airraid, KN, bbk and granatelli) all give gains but not like the gain that can had by adding a tuner.

For me I like the plastic intake look and it is a close choice between the C&L Racer or JLT with the tuner.


Good luck and let us know what you decide.

The air transfer function for the C&L CAI is quite impressive compared to the stock MAF.

 

Definitely get one with a tune ... I have the Steeda , but I use the C&L trueflow inlet tube ...

 

Jlt/ sct is definently the best bang for the buck

 

I have the Granatelli CAI with a tune from Brenspeed. There are a lot of people that don't like the GMS product, but before I had the tune, it ran fine with no problems. Now that I have the tune it is even better. No matter what I would make sure that you get a tune with whatever CAI you get. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

 

If any one could get some HP numbers on the different intakes they would be great.

 

Who's got that article about the comparison batween all the different cai ???

 

I believe the jlt had the highest HP numbers but the c&l was ranked #1 overall.

 

I found this one but alot company's didnt participate.

Well there ya go

 

I've seen alot with different setup's in relation to the heat shield that comes with alot of the cai's. In reference to Jlt vs C&L, Steeda, etc. Looking at the Jlt, it seems that it would allow more engine heat than the others? Thoughts?

Thanks

 

I have the Steeda CAI along with a 93 Race tune from Bamachips. I can't vouch for other CAI's but, for what I notice with mine, you can totally feel the difference. Steeda also came out with their new "High Flow Inlet Tube" which they state will gain an extra 8rwhp and 8 ft lbs of torque. I don't really think it's that much, but at least you get rid of the stock air hose, which I think restricts the air a bit. Mine is on order.

 

The C&L CAI's air transfer function shows much more potential than stock and a tad more flow than the Steeda.

 

There are many out there, each with different claims. I bought a kit for $525 for the CAI and tuner which is a great deal IMO and I think it looks great...Tunable Inductions. Doug at BAMA is selling them or you can go to http://www.tunableinduction.com/
There are lots of people who like the C&L or the Granatelli but the cost is kinda high.

Mine:

 

I still like the design of the WMS intake.

hi rev, what are the rwhp gains of the wms?

thanks!

 

also, a 62mm throttlebody hurt or hinder the CAI?

i been reading threads that the stock throttlebody is just fine...

not sure..

thanks!

 

JLT II w/SCT XCal2

 

Is that right ??? well being that you're such an expert on the subject ? how about showing us actual facts that prove C&L's air transfer function produces a tad more flow over the Steeda ?? this I can't wait to see, especially knowing the fact that the C&L street MAF is 83mm in diameter compared with the Steeda intake which has the larger 90mm MAF ? You also seem to forget that Steeda has also upgraded it's CAI with a new inlet elbow as well which is almost identical to the C&L race intake..
