JLT Intake

A while back someone had asked about the JLT intake as far as fitment and performance. I have been meaning to post the pictures for them. Its a tight fit, but I think the quality is good and I like the fact that it does have a little more airflow to the throttle body. I have been really happy with it.

I've been thinking about switching to this from a rotofab. Rotofab doesn't seem interested in making a big gulp for Na motors so this should suffice.

the correct answer is an over the radiator setup similar to a c6 halltech or vararam. i really dislike these cone-on-a-stick "CAIs" that cost several hundred dollars and still rely on the small factory air intake path behind the grill.

Serious question, where would you fit it? I don't see any room to run much more than a soda straw straight in from the front.

Maybe something with a custom hood?

thats the million dollar question. i bought a c6z halltech bridge (arrived today) to start mocking up. prob have to modify the radiator cover and send the inlet tube down right behind the hood latch? idk yet but i will find out. possibly have a bridge 3d printed if this one is close but no cigar.

i plan on using a hi ram and vfn extra clearance hood, but id like to replace this rotofab long before then.

This is the intake I'm most leaning towards. A lot cheaper than the Roto Fab and supposedly outperforms it. Definitely interested in seeing more people test with it

They've been a player in the Mustang world for a while. Good quality. I have a Rotofab and am happy with it.

It doesn't outperform the Rotofab. All this has been hashed out in the past.

Need to cut the factory radiator support for an over the radiator setup. You can make it work with the hood latch like I did on the one I made or toss the latch and cut out that area in the hood and run aerocatch latches. I’ve ran 4” on mine behind the hood latch. Got rid of it, running the latches now and going to a 4.5” setup now
