JLT vs. C&L
Ok I am new to this community and I am seeing alot of stuff about JLT and C&L...
Is there a big difference between the two or are they both too close to tell? I am going to buy an intake and if I am spending that kind of money on one I want to know whats up!!
p.s I already searched no match's!

RE: JLT vs. C&L
JLT supposedly has a little better performance numbers, and the C&L has better quality materials. I haven't heard of anyone who has had any issues with the JLT falling apart, so I think it's safe to say that you'd be alright with either one. Personally I went with the C&L.

RE: JLT vs. C&L
The JLT has slightly better performance numbers than the C&L according to the "Cold Score" article at the 5.0 Mustang site. But the JLT original design had a wide spread problem of falling apart from warpage due to underhood heat. The design was then modified to include a machined metal insert to eliminate the problem. However, there were a few scattered reports of users still having problems with it.

RE: JLT vs. C&L
Brenspeed runs the C&L street on most cars and claims that he likes those best. I have it, it looks nice, and performs great.
Personally, I dont like the looks of the JLT, so it is not worth it to me even if it makes a couple more HP.

RE: JLT vs. C&L
2 friends of mine ... one with jlt 2 and other with c&l ... both look nice... both well made with good quality... the performance of the jlt is slightly better but the quality of the c&l is better... and the JLT2 doesnt have anyproblems... but due to heat ... it was better and cooler to get the jlt in our weather here since the c&l can heat the air while going inside...
i myself am loking for another brand to also compare... so i found this one pretty much like the JLT but its a carbon fiber and i like it since its a bit lighter than jlt and whole more lighter than c&l .. but i want to know the diffrence in power..
it may get more air inside.. as same temp as the jlt but slightly colder... but does it have better power ?
here is a picture

RE: JLT vs. C&L
true... but im talking about the carbon fiber CAI from brenspeed .. i believe its called tunable induction ...
is it lighter and cooler ? because it doesnt look like it's metal and does it hold better power ?
