JLT vs FIPK Gen 2

which intake is better fipk gen 2 or jlt rai
I dont know which is better, but I just ordered the jlt kit. Mainly because of looks and it seems to flow better as it is a bit bigger, although Im sure they both flow well. Alot of guys run these units and seem to be 2 of the top three choices...along with demolet system. If horsepower is what u r looking for, I wouldnt expect more than 5-10rwhp at best from either 1.

i'm just tryin to research a few mods that i want before i finally bring the car back from winter hibernation.
I had a filter and removed silencer like you. Instead of spending 200 or so bucks, i just added a Throttle body pipe to finish the job. $65 shipped from tunable induction (demolet).

I got the K&N FIPK. It's a direct fit. K&N is a reliable company. It comes with the CARB sticker so it's smog legal. It may not look the best, but it performs. I got mine on ebay for $100. If you want a better bang for your buck go with gears or headers.
 
Performance wise the JLT and the K&N FIPK are very, very close. The K&N unit is C.A.R.B. certified if any of you care about those things. The JLT is more customizable than the K&N and the JLT customer support is better too. You can't go wrong with either.

I went with K&N FIPK only a couple comments after install this weekend, performance wise seams good.
However install was a bit of a pain in the neck you need to do a bit of force it here and there to get it set in and the brackets didn't not fit properly on mine so I am only using one. Also I am not sure how the things seals properly but still sounds good.
 
JLT RAI. According to the owners last comment i heard, the CAI kit doesnt make much of any power. the RAI is the one that made like 12RWHP on a bolton GT. Im almost 100% sure that was vs a K&N dropin. The runs were on the same day, best of 3 I believe on both the before and after runs. I know my car is VERY consistent, and you really wont gain over 4RWHP even with a cool down....so it at LEAST made 7 or 8 hp.

He actually wasnt offering teh CAI for the GTs becuase it didnt do anything to the power, using the same method of dyno before/after...maybe he refined it :shrug:
