Just installed this yesterday. Feels better than Granetelli tube w/K&N I had before. Best dyno with previous setup was 251hp 281tq. I'll be on the dyno soon, I'll post here with the results. Only problem I had on install was the rubber coupler to the T/B was made too small(for the stock t/b, I've got a 75mm now) so I had to put a bigger one on, already had one laying around so wasn't a real problem for me. Airbox draws air from the fenderwell as well as a nice shot from behind the headlight, good for the drags with the headlight removed.....here's a pic. sbfilters.com is where you'll find this one, also rpmoutlet.com.

thats not a bad looking kit. I like the way it shields the air from the engine bay.

UPR makes one that is a reasonable price. If you ask me they are all the same, you are just paying more for the name. Comes with filter and everything. Installed in like 45 min. Cant remember what I paid for it but it wasnt over $200

RE: K&N or MAC Cold Air Intake
just get whatever one you think looks better. the performance gains is basically the same on all of them. the metal does not make a difference, the air temp does not increase, the air is moving way to fast to be affected by the heat up of the metal. just get whichever looks better to you.

RE: K&N or MAC Cold Air Intake
So what is the consus on the JLT vs K&N vs SC debate? I like the idea of having the JLT painted to match the car, but since I am going with a yellow and black theme, then all of those will work. I know everyone will recomend the one they have, but has anyone had expirence with more than one of the above 3?

RE: K&N or MAC Cold Air Intake
I have a MAC, goes into the fenderwell. I dont have exact numbers since I have yet to go to the dyno again but I definitely felt a difference between my stock intake and the MAC. When I get new numbers I'll post em up.

Ok, here's the numbers on the S&B intake: same numbers on the dyno as before: 251hp, 281tq......which is no surprise, because the hood is open when doing a pull. At the track though, it showed: gained .1 and another mph. Whatever you get, make sure it's a fenderwell or an airbox design like mine.
