Does anyone have the JLT intake carbon fiber one? I was wondering what do you think of the fit and finish of it? It's real rough inside the tube- and the outside is not really satisfactory. The seam for the 2 pieces is not smooth and definitely visible. I don't know if i got a bad one or is it really normal to look this way? I've seen some good carbon fiber work and some bad i would lean towards bad on this intake. I have read awesome reviews on this intake and love the look of it but if this is the quality of it- i rather get the straight plastic one. The carbon fiber looks real wavy and almost ready to crack in one area.

 

I would definitely contact JLT directly. They're really good about customer service, and their products are always top notch.

 

I wish I could agree with you, but I've had a bad experience with them lately, concerning an appearance issue on one of their parts. It was not handled as well as it could've been & it pushed me away from buying the JLT carbon fiber CAI, which until that point was on my list to purchase.

 

yeah i wanted to see if anyone had similiar problems before i raised a red flag. i didnt want to blow anything out of proportion.

 

Oh, yikes. Care to shed a little more light on the issue, or, perhaps you already have in another post?

way2qk4u2c - At any rate, I'd still get someone from JLT on the phone, so they are at least aware of the issue. No amount of ranting and discussing will get the part fixed, only JLT can do that!

 

Yeah JLT is taking care of me already

 

I don't want to be a jerk about what happened. I kept what I ordered, because I really want to protect this engine, but I'll do business elsewhere in the future. In fact I purchased the Airaid CAI, instead of the JLT carbon fiber unit.

 

Geeze Mike, how are you hiding all these parts from your wife?!

I'm pumped for the next time I'll see your car. Sounds like itll have some nice upgrades

 

Thanks Mike- i cant wait till I have them on. Cant find anyone to paint my lower valance so my exhaust is just sitting around until thats decided. Can't put my tuner on untile i have the exhuast and intake on. So my lovely parts are just collecting dust on the floor. I hear about it everyday why are these parts here lol.

 

There's actually a great auto body place over in burr ridge that we've been using for years. He might be able to help you out, or if anything, point you in the right direction. Let me find out the name of it and I'll PM ya.

 

 

I need to let her know

 

Shady you hush up lol

Jlt took care of me. Sent me a new one and it's a lot better. I'm a happy camper now. Jlt rocks.

 

Great to hear! Glad you got that cleared up.

 

Great to hear also. Nothing but good here, from JLT. Excellent CS. Bought the Carbon Fiber one for my "ordered" Lava MCA. Then things changed. Bought Kona GT. On an other note, I also bought their Oil Separator (Best one out there) for the Kona.
