I just looked up a JPC intake and I saw where someone posted a email from JPC about there intake and 1795 and 299 was what they said in the email. Even though 1200 + rails + delete plates are still high for a Intake. I still haven't seen no benifits over the C&L. Hope your build works out! I want to build my car and I probably will one day but for now I'm just playing with bolt-ons. My car has 11,000 miles now.

CMRC Delete plates, JPC Fuel Rails and Fuel Rail Adapter [+$500.00]

plus another 50.00 if you have a stock hood.

So 1700.00-1750.00 or 749.00-799.00. For a grand more I could buy a C&L Intake and a nitrous kit.

I'm not trying to start anything just wanted to post the price difference between both Intakes.

From the look of both intakes on the inside the C&L looks better than the JPC. The JPC tubes with the bellows looks more restrictive than the C&L's smooth cast runners. My 2 cents worth.

 

You showed exactly what I saw in your post, did you miss it? Sale prices rock. And like I told you before, for me it was easy as I have everything else I need and can mill my delete plates myself.

I don't think the "tubes" are restrictive, runners like that are used in the highest of high performance applications. The JPC has the runners of an individual throttle body set up, but a box and single TB for costs sake and because of the MAF meter. That's always the way I've looked at it.

Look at Kinsler, their "restrictive" individual TB set up uses the same type of "tubes."

I'm not trying to jump down your throat, but I would suggest you look at the fact that each has it's place. Not that one is better or worse, it's application and goals that will determine a buyers purchase.

 

I said it looked restrictive. They are similer to the Kinsler. I know motorcycles have rubber tubes that look like the JPC tubes (with the big end) and you take the factory rubber tubes out of a R6 and cut the top off and put it back in it picks up horse power. (On a motorcyle dyno) I know we are not talking about bikes but that is just a example.

To me I don't see the JPC Intake being worht 1000.00 more than the C&L. I haven't seen any power inprovement and I don't esxpect I will. Even if it make 1 more hp it's still not worth 1000.00 more. I'm glad it works out for you! with you having everything you are still paying 400.00 more than the C&L. I know the C&L makes power. I have seen it on my car and I have seen it make power on a turbo car. On the turbo car it made 47 rwhp more than the stock intake. So to "ME" I see no reason to pay 1000.00 more for the JPC. Good luck with your build!

 

keep in mind this is all YOUR opinion. let him mod his car the way he feels and you do the same. Its his money not yours, you go your point across that you wouldnt pay the extra money for it so leave it be and let him mod his car to his own taste. After all its his car and his choice, not yours.

 

Yehaw ! Finally. My C&L has been shipped today. We shall see what it does at the drag strip the weekend after next.

 

I agree. Thats why I was saying "TO ME" and "GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BUILD".

AWESOME! What all is done to your car? You will like the intake!

 

There's no sense in trying to explain things to you.

 

Um OK? Whatever?
