Default JLT vs Steeda CAI

I'm looking to buy CAI by Friday this week (was gonna wait until mid august but it's too much haha).

I've been leaning toward steeda CAI combo from AM, then I decided to take a look one last time and I found the JLT combo.

I googled to find the difference between both, a little more reviews leaned toward JLT.

I talked to a shop owner that deals with mustangs most of the time he said you get what you pay for with most parts.

I'm willing to pay the extra $$ for steeda but am I losing performance and quality with JLT?

Haha I can tell you're a steeda enthusiast, but I need reasons to help decide which ones.

Not wanting to get off the subject but you got mangaflow catback? If so, do you like them?

go with JLT the gains are the same, but JLT is cheaper and the install will take about 15 minutes.
if you are ordering the CAI/tuner combo, i would order from a better tuner like brenspeed,VMP, or lethalperformance.

Go with JLT. Best bang for your buck, + you can get the tube to match your car color!

I run a JLT, and I've been very happy with it. I like the fact you can get it to match the car's color as well. I took advantage of that. I've know of very few people that have ever had a complaint. It's generally accepted that the JLT is one of the higher flowing CAI option out there.

Can't really offer much of an option on the Steeda, although it's probably a good piece overall as well.
