A 2011 V6 Cold Air Intake from JLT! Carbon fiber, smooth bends, reinforced coupler, large heatshield with pinch seal for the hood. This thing is sick!

Anyone want to wager a guess what the gains are going to be?

This is going on our 2011 and on the dyno Monday or Tuesday!

Carbon fiber? It's optional from JLT.

Only Mustang that comes from Ford with anything close is the GT500 and it wouldn't surprise me if they stop putting open element air intakes on them before long, EPA doesn't like them.

Well carbon fiber is expensive because of how hard it is to make correctly and of course the carbon and kevlar weave, material aint exactly cheap. But its strong as hell, lasts a lifetime, and is lightweight but the material is really what your paying for with CF parts. Stainless/billet pieces might fare better when things heat up though unless the CF is woven and sealed right because it can be shaped with excessive heat. If you go for every ounce of performance then cf is the way to go. But for everyday drivin and some track use, then metal/plastic stuff will be better. Its mainly personnal preference tho

Is it real carbon fiber or just made to look like carbon fiber?

It's real Carbon Fiber and cheaper then all other CAI's on the market

You will find that we do not over charge for our products.

I can attest that it is real carbon fiber. I could see the slight weave pattern within the intake. The outside is not just a faux CF wrapper.

The EPA doesn't like anything performance oriented. If they had their way we'd all be driving smart cars.

This is one nice looking intake though! Gonna estimate ~15rwhp gain from this.
