You could probably make it work, but I really don't know how much it would be worth. I have my doubts as to if it would fit on the first go, I think it would take some customizing.

let me get this right, you want to replace the gt500's stock air box w/ a JLT CAI.

so you got the whipple on the gt500?

the TB is in a different position so the shape of the CAI and the heat shield will be in the wrong place. you could probly fab something to make it fit, then a custom dyno tune. but when it's all said and done, i think it wont be worth the effort.

but is the JLT for your car or a gt500, or are you putting the whipple on to a gt500?

What's wrong with the huge conical filter and maf housing that came with the Whipple? The answer is YES, but you will probably need a retune to get things dialed in right. You also may run into a problem with the intake tube lining up correctly with the new JLT air box and maf housing. I don't see the point to be honest.
