  Best on market

  Very good air intake system. Pair it with e85 and headers and you will make good power gains.

  Great

  Video is easy to follow. Took a fit to put on but was easy. The sound tube was the hardest part.

  Great Intake

  Intake is really nice. Comes with everything you could need for the install. Only thing is fitment is kinda rough as you really have to push the tube down in the throttle body or it will no clear the hood. And I wish JL was still doing the color matched intake tubes, really wanted a lightning blue intake. Overall its great.

  fits perfect, sounds good, major power gains, you do need a tune but with the tune the car feels like a different beast

  Good gains, sub-par fitment

  The designers of this product didn’t seem to put this product to the test before releasing it. The air box needs to be adjusted a lot before it finally fits in nicely and can be fastened to the stock bolt location. The gasket that fastens the intake to the throttle body failed to account for clearance issues, where a cut to angle the intake would have fixed this problem. The largest problem is the hood clearance as the hood does not close without slamming it shut. After a few slams of the hood, it seems to close easier. Regardless of these minor complications, the end game of performance is more than satisfactory with a Bama tune. Much better throttle response and very noticeable power gains. With a few minor tweaks to design and fitment, there is no better intake on the market.

  don't run without a tune

  fits perfect and looks great. Don't try to be stubborn like me and run it without a tune because the car loose power and doesn't run right. sputters on cold starts and holds rpm's really badly. make sure you're car has been sitting for a while before installing because to get the plug in for the sound tube delete you have to run your arm along the header. highly recommend this intake, good gains and sounds great too.

  Excellent intake

  Install was troublesome getting to the bolt in the firewall but after that everything went in place. Can really hear the air going in looks good under the hood!

  The sound alone is more then enough of a reason to buy but throw some gains and tune you wont be disappointed

  Tight fit, but it works

  Pretty easy install. The hardest part is the sound tube removal. Yes, it is a tight fit and I had to drop the hood to get it to shut the first time. It’s shuts fine now and runs good paired with a BAMA Performance tune and cat-back exhaust. Massive inlet tube and filter. I’ve only used KandN and Steeda intakes prior to this. JLT did a good job maximizing the place and the quality is good as well.

  Simple. At first!

  I bought this CAI even though the reviews warned everyone it was a tight fit. Working as a Mechanic most of my life I paid little attention to the complaints since I figured most of it was due to lack of experience and a small side of whining. I now apologize to those writers. After about 15 minutes I had the old out and the new one in, I have not attempted to close the hood at this point. Tried to close the hood and instantly I recalled all the reviews. About a hour later, a cutoff tool, and a lot of dust later it was shutting perfectly. I tried all of the advice from previous reads. Only get so much room adjusting at the throttle body it all came down to the box and the air filter being to large. Had to make it sit lower. It does work well with the Lund tune I installed. But a lot of work for something that there shouldn’t be.

  Awesome setup from JLT

  Got the kit installed in under a hour. Reading the other reviews about fitment there are some things to look at for install. The intake is BIG! All of the adjustment is in the silicone coupler at the throttle body. Leave the clamp loose that goes from the coupler to the tube and pivot the tube to get it lower in the car. Tighten the clamp once you have it where you need it. My tube doesn't touch my hood after adjustment. I'm happy with the install and performance! Thank you American Muscle and JLT Performance!

  Good Gains Poor Fitment

  Installed this intake on my 2018 GT along with a SR Performance throttle body spacer...long story short it wont fit with a throttle body spacer. Spoke to JLT about it and they are now aware of the clearance issues. Removed throttle body spacer, and the hood still wouldn't close....the angle of the intake tube @ the throttle body is incorrect and the coupling needed to be trimmed. I trimmed it from just above mid circumference down to the base (underside of the TB) at a slight angle and after a few attempts at trimming the coupling (about 2 lines on the coupling) I re-installed it and now the hood closes perfectly with no issues. JLT needs to make their couplings already angled at the base or come up with a different design all together but all in all the gains were worth it with the VMP 93 octane tune!!

  Size issue

  Do not get this system unless you do not mind cutting a hole in your hood. After completing the install and flashing the tune I attempted to attach the engine cover and realized it didn't set down flush onto the engine due to it hitting the plastic air tube. Without putting the cover on I tried closing the hood without success. The oversized air tube did not clear the engine compartment preventing the hood from closing. Makes me wonder if anyone at JLT tested this product before it hit the market
