No, JLTs are not carb legal.

Since they are easy to put on and take off, I'd recommend getting a JLT and keeping the stock. Swap the stock back on when you have to get inspected.

Be sure to visit http://www.retailmenot.com/ and look for coupon codes for whatever website you decide to buy from. It can be bought from http://www.americanmuscle.com/ for $216.19 after shipping (free), tax (none for me), and discount (6%, use code 'stangnet').

The gain all depends on your current mods. If you have a plenum and throttle body, you may experience up to 10hp gains. Otherwise, maybe 2hp to 5hp.

Good luck!

Oh yeah, and welcome to Stangnet! :SNSign:

Doesn't the JLT Intake require a tuner?

It would help but last I checked it's not a requirement. On the S-197's a tuner is required.

Yeah I thought so on the S197's because I knew a guy that wanted a JLT CAI but didn't have enough money for the tuner that required it.

I have one and it doesn't require a tune. I spent the extra cash for the painted intake tube to match my car (Mineral Grey). I would say that I gain some power and throttle response is noticable. Pearl02.
