If you have a 2015 and are running a 2018 intake do you need to run a 2018 factory intake tube?

If you install the 2018 intake manifold do does that mean you have to run 2018 air intake tube?

Depends on the intake you have.

I have the stock 2015 intake on it still.

I'd strongly recommend something that flows more at high rpm, else the reason for doing the 18 manifold is null. The 18 stock intake is definitely an improvement. How do you use the car? There are many options that maximize the power gain from 5000-7500.

It's going boosted spring 2020. It's a weekend toy roll racing and drag racing. Road trips.

Nope, send it

You may. Sometimes the intake tube can hit the hood because the angle at the throttle body is different on the 2018 manifold.

One more thing. Do you need the 18 throttle body

 

[gameovergt]

no, your throttle body will bolt right on.

No, and it wouldn't work anyway. 18 is a digital signal. 15-17 analog.

Yep, no change of TB needed. I would recommend the JLT CAI and am currently testing the 2018/350 JLT CAI on my car.

I just picked up an 18 JLT this afternoon. How do you like it so far. Still waiting on my tune to come

Nice! I'll know a little more after I log some pulls tonight.

Sounds good. By the way are you adding anything to the shield to seal it to the hood?

Just some redneckery, lol. Put some weather stripping over the edges of the box. Seems to help.
