i plan on purchasing a new cold air intake from americanmuscle.com and i know there are quite a few of u that have bought from that place so i was just wondering from their selection of about 10 dif intakes which one should i go with cuz price varies but some of the not as expensive ones seem like better deals...even if u havent bought from there feel free to check out the site and then give me ur input i would appreciate it

 

I have a jlt, they don't really do much for our cars, most of the guys will tell you to just take the silencer off and put a new filter in

 

^^^^ Yup! What he said. I was looking into getting a CAI and most EVERYONE I talked to and read posts pertaining to the same question said just get a K&N drop in, so that is what I did.

A lot of people have JLT and are happy with them. Just get something that fits your budget or get a K&N.

 

JLT FTW
its kind of a$$ to put in, but i like it

 

Get a jlt fender mounted. I ran my car on the dyno with a AEM ram Air intake and then with the JLT fender mounted on the same day at the dyno and the JLT gained 3RWHP over the AEM since it wasnt sucking in the hot air. I should have bought the JLT in the beginning. Just my 2Cents

 

Remove the stock filter and put in a K&N filter and call it quits. There is little to no performance gain to be had. The stock airbox/snorkel does a great job at pulling in cooler air. after repeated data loggings I am pulling in 70-80*(the ambient temp where i live at night right now)* air into the motor. This should tip you off that the factory system works, and works WELL.

you will NEVER pull in air that is any colder than ambient temperature from outside, so the fact that the stock airbox/snorkel pull in air that is a few degrees off ambient is fantastic.

 

what other mods do you have in mind for your car? Because I think everyone is probably going to agree that a CAI is a worthless one so you might as well skip that and move on.

 

I switched from the JLT CAI to the RAI. Didn't notice any difference. I just got freakin tired of having to pull the wheel and fender liner off to deal with my filter...yea yea yea, i know, I'm lazy. Plus, I think the RAI looks better. just my .02

 

thx for all the feed back guys i appreciate it...but my 2003 gt is currently engine stock except for magnaflow exhaust and k&n airfilter...to answer a question about what i have done...i plan on slowly doin the engine piece by piece i suppose

 

If you have a K&N filter, forget about a CAI now and do a full exhaust or mid pipe, gears and a tune. That will really wake up your car both sound and performance.
