I had a JLT on my 2012 GT. I have an Airaid on my EcoBoost. Looking at both designs, you would think the Airaid is the superior design, since it is a sealed design and this is open, although within a surround that is sealed once the hood is closed. This produced better numbers on the dyno, but you have to wonder how it would have performed with the hood closed.....Just getting ready to purchase a CAI. Thought I was going to get the Airaid. Mike, sounds like you have had experience with both. Recommendations?
Yes, this, thanks. I assumed that it started at ~1.5k and it was zoomed in to show the gains.I think he means could we see a plot starting from 2k instead of 3k and going until 6k+ instead of ending at 5.5k?
I would second that as I (and I'm sure other people) are very curious to see what there is to gain above 5k. I mean, c'mon, revving out to redline is fun ;)
With ours sealed to the hood when closed it's actually getting as much or more air than one completely closed off like the Airaid.I had a JLT on my 2012 GT. I have an Airaid on my EcoBoost.

I think they will both work, and work about the same. The JLT is a good design and it will sound better, that I can assure you of.

Well, Jay, you know I am a fan of your intakes. I had one on my 2012 until the day I sold it. Why don't you send me one and we can have the same bet we had with the GT, if you remember? I am not impressed with the Airaid and would rather have yours. I can do a comparo....at the track ;)With ours sealed to the hood when closed it's actually getting as much or more air than one completely closed off like the Airaid.
When your on the dyno, your running the car from about 50-15 MPH. Do you think the dyno fan simulates that?? ;)
At speed you get tons of air in the grille inlet and all around the car to the filter. That's why we DO NOT seal the filter.
Thanks
Jay
But it recirculates to the intake.BOV fitting? I'm confused now. I thought the BOV was on the charge piping to the intercooler.
