JLT CAI is now available.
Looks like a solid unit. 120mm(5") opening and the price is really good. Custom tune is required. Discuss!

One of the only ones that supposedly "worked" on the S550 5.0's.

I had one on my 2014 Camaro with an LS3. I had that, a rather aggressive 93 octane tune and 2” headers with no cats and NPP. Managed to put down ~440whp. If they had come out with this sooner, I’d have that instead of the Rotofab I have now.

I'm glad I waited on buying a CAI. This might be the one.

The only thing I don’t like about JLT’s cold air setups for our cars, is the heat shield. It takes a bit of massaging to get it to sit just right. Outside of that, it’s a 120mm MAF, if I remember correctly. It’s a tune-required CAI. Please don’t slap this thing on here without a proper tune to account for that difference in diameter.

Custom tune being required was stated in the OP.

One thing I noticed in the marketing is the filter size of this intake. It matches what comes with the CAI, CAI / GM CAI in height and width.
The tube opening to 5” I’d have to measure for comparison but if I’m remembering right, it isn’t much different a measurement either.

Yea after further research I noticed that too. I still like the RotoFab dry but I am going to sit back and wait for results to come in on this one. The price and the option for a dry filter makes it more appealing to me then the CAI/GM unit.

The only other option I can see being any better than the rotofab could possibly be a vararam unit. I emailed them yesterday and they replied today saying they may have some images ready before Xmas and they are developing one right now
Something you may want to wait on.. |

I'd pass on the JLT, never cared for them for the Mustangs. Roto-fab all the way.
Also like Ultra said if vararam is working on a CAI, definitely would wait for that before you choose. |

I’ll be tempted to try one out at the track as I don’t think a dyno will show the whole picture of one. |
