3.7 V6 JLT intake w/o tune
Well I finally had time to install my JLT intake on my 2011 V6 3.7 last night. This is just an intake without adding a tune.
This is my daily driver so I am not gonna do much more to it.
Car seems to have more power down low as well as thru the gears.
The pedal response has also gotten better with the intake added. I guess it lets more air into the TB.
Also the car has a louder deeper exhaust note with just the Intake added.
The car now feels a lot like my 05 GT when it was stock back in the day.
I will continue to test it and see if it increasees my gas mileage.
The install took about 30 mins taking my time and the product is a quality part. Good bang for the buck for anyone wanting to add a bit of performance without adding a tune.
Thanks Jay for a Great Product once again and making my long ride to and from work more fun!

Okay so took a little trip this morning to get some readings on mileage. 40 mile trip on the highway into a 15 MPH headwind with AC on. Got 30 MPG. On the way back I rolled down the windows and got 33 MPG. Both were done at 65 MPH. Seems like if you go faster it starts to drop. This is an Automatic with 2.73 gear.

On the 101 cali freeway.. going 65 will get you rear ended. I got 80 and with my 3.31 the RPMs are pretty high

I installed this CAI today as well. Holy crap...this thing is more impressive than I thought it was going to be. I was also shocked at how it changed the sound of the engine. I didn't realize it was going to sound that good when I hit the road to test it, I couldn't believe how it sounded and the increased power.

I have said the same thing many times. The JLT CAI makes just about as much power as a tune alone and does slightly improve mpgs. Unfortunately there are a lot of doubters out there. I highly recommend a Bama tune. You see as of an improvement on top end, but idle, mpgs, smoother power delivery and improved low end torque await you. I feel they work best when used together.
