JLT2 or C&L, both are very common
and popular

checkout brenspeed, for cai + tuner packages

i like the JLT. it's cheap and works well and installs in 15 minutes and you can order it in color to match your car. but C&L is good too.

hammeron, what happened to your ultimate member status?

the JLT2 intake is the best actual intake on the market.......i don't think its really arguable that its cheaper than the C&L and under consistent testing got slightly better hp.


but some people think its worth it for the C&L..........it DOES look better. better "quality" although i've never had problems with my JLT

comes down to preference.

i have the c&l racer intake and sct tuner. love mine and wouldnt trade it for anything else. plus when i got it the tuner gave me the tunes for free after he took off the other 3 i had for my v6. i didnt want the aluminum tube because of all the heat under the hood anyway. jlt or c&l. wouldnt be disappointed with either. anything beats the stock box with stock tune.
