Switched to the Steeda CAI from the JLT!

Switched to Steeda CAI from the JLT! The JLT wasn't bad, but the Steeda is a better unit. Better heat shield, uses factory air ducting, and looks better IMO. What do you guys think??

Great looking car. Glad to hear that too, waiting to get a tuner before I put my Steeda CAI in. Will follow this post.

Thanks! And yeah make sure you get a tuner. I like American Muscle/Bama. Free tunes for life, lots of tune options, cyl #8 warranty, and my car has run great with their tunes. And they have one of the best prices.

I'm using my second Steeda on my coyote, one for stock intake now have one for boss intake.

Does that say anything about how awesome Steeda is? Lol

My steeda intake has sort of a trumpet sound when i get on it. Not sure if it is the metal harmonics or not. Is this common?

Yeah i like the Steeda one better as well. It does have a better head shield and a nice plus is it does use the factory air ram duct to provide fresh cold air.

Exactly. I drove the car for a while then got out and lifted the hood and the heat shield around the intake was still cool to the touch. LOVED it. I'm going to do some tests, but I know with the JLT, if I drove the car hard and let it sit and idle (like at the track) I would see IATs over 150*.

Mine has it a little bit as well. I think it's because of the metal. I like it though

Lol yes the carbon fiber JLT does look better. But the regular one doesn't IMO. And the Steeda still performs a little better even if it doesn't look quite as good as the carbon fiber... lol

Jeff, your car looks GREAT! Love the color (DIB), and the front chin spoiler is fantastic! CAI looks good. I, personally, love the look and the sound of my Roush CAI. Enjoy that beautiful GT!

Car looks awesome!!!

And, yes, having the Steeda CAI myself, I couldn't be happier with the product, the quality, the performance and Steeda's service.

I just upgraded to the new 101mm MAF Steeda CAI today, and the car feels even more awake than before... Now I'm curious what the difference in the dyno numbers will be!
