Cold Air Intakes

[barrygran]

Going to install a CAI and have two picked out. A R2C and a JLT. Any one have any comments on either of these two systems. I have a 09 GT. I will also be getting a SCT tuner to go with it. I'm looking for the biggest increases.
Thanks Up Front

A CAI is a CAI, the real power comes from the tune.

Your probably right, but cool unrestricted air helps. I'm just looking for any real time usage of the two CAI's. Thanks

I'd go with JLT ~ Never heard of R2C before.

 

[Preston951]

On second thought ~ The R2C looks very high quality... I bet you'd see the best results from it out of any of the CAIs on the market.

You just need to decide if the price tag is worth it...

Suggest making sure that the tune supplier has a tune for the CAI that you buy. The JLT is well known, and will not be a problem. But better check on the R2C CAI.

Thanks I just found out with the R2C requires no tune. I'm going with a JLT and ordering it directly from them as a package (CAI and SCT Tuner). I was going to get it from American Muscle and save $20, but I feel the proper dyno tune for 93 octane and the matching color will be a better deal.

I didn't realize JLT was now offering tunes. I wonder who does the tunes for them or if they doing them on their own. I got mine from a tuner that I knew had a long track record, Brenspeed.

I would recommend the JLT2 for people who are cheap or a C&L Racer for those spending more cash.

I ordered the JLT CAI, SCT SF3 tuner and a GMS twin 62mm Throttle body from American Muscle. Tuner comes with 3 custom tunes. They provide all the dyno tunes and will provide them to me for a lifetime. All I have to do is ask. Download to my laptop and install to tuner. However JLT provides a package deal with 3 custom tunes for their CAI. No lifetime free tunes. Thanks for all the advice.

So, who does the tunes for American Muscle? They have their own tuner? I have never heard of anyone running an "American Muscle.com" tune.

I'll have to call and ask. I do know they have a electronics shop. Fill you in when I get the info. I was told that JLT provides their own tunes for their own products. I would guess all the suppliers produce many dyno tunes.
