Yep. Gonna order a jlt2 from brenspeed next week, I was convinced that the gains are the same as with the C&L and I would like to save $100 so it works out well
If u get a C & L racer its cheaper than the "street" version and gives more hp than the JLT since it is 95mm. JLT is 90mm as the street version of c&l pretty sure of that.
JLT gets marginally (VERY MARGINAL, LIKE 2 OR 3) more hp, but is a much cleaner design in my opinion and costs 100 bucks less. the choice was easy for me.
performance is the same, but i choose theC&L street for looks. The JLTlooks way too much like the intakes ive seen on stupid littleGTIs and that just bothered me.
Both are great, but I'd choose a C&L Racer if I had to buy again.
+1 I had the jlt 2, but i was never all that fond of the long rubber elbow that connects to the throttle body. I don't like the aluminum C&L, i'd rather have a 1 piece plastic tube like the racer.
