JLT CAI installed, love the whine

[Tonymustang302]

I must be hard or hearing because I only noticed a little increase in SC whine with the JLT compared to stock. Nothing like a Hellcat.

gen 5 whipples dont have any whine at all that you can hear from inside, and not even any from outside as far as I could tell from videos. I did the foster sound tube mod now I have some whine in the cabin.

I just bring the wife along and get plenty of ”whine” all day long

Aside from the added noise ( whine ), can you tell a difference in power or the butt dyno? Adding 30HP or so 5% , wondering if that is noticeable?!

cheers!

Its noticeable.…..especially down lower

 

[Chris2020GT500]

I do miss the whine that my 2010 GT500 had and I am a bit jealous of my wife’s Trackhawk as the supercharger is very pronounced.

I think some have ran with the stock lid off however, I suspect it would draw in too much hot air even with the hood rain tray removed.

yeah, I never said it was louder or similar to any other supercharger. I just said I'm happy I can finally hear it whereas before there was nothing but a faint whine if you stood at the engine with the hood open and rev'd it. To kill 2 birds with one stone, hear the charger AND get over 30+ hp, that's an easy win in my book.

AM has the blue, not the red in stock if anyone wants the blue.

JC Pony has red filter JLT CAIs

Honestly I haven't noticed much if any of a difference in power over stock. Weather has been warm so the higher IAT temps with open element vs stock closed setup may be contributing to that.

thank you for that honest response! I’ve seen and watched many YouTube videos of the JLT, and someone always comments - but the hoods open. Made me think. Dyno #’s and real life street are always different.
Did you install yourself or have a shop do it ? If you , relative easy ?!

I have JLT and my intake temps are usually within 3 degrees of ambient while moving. You shouldn’t notice any power loss with that intake vs closed.

JLT made a very good video explaining all this. I didn't originally post this to try and lie about my experience to validate my purchase. No reason to do that. I've been posting my experience with my 500 and all the things I do with it because people who posted the same content really helped me with my decision making as well, even the one to purchase the car, so I am sort of paying it forward. I've loved the intake, I find myself hitting the gas every chance I get just to hear it now, my kids love it too and they scream with it haha. The difference in what you feel can be subjective, but everyone in my family says they feel it more, who knows, maybe thats just their brain playing tricks on them because they hear something different too. The 30+ hp is proven time and time again all over youtube. I don't think I've seen a video of a before and after on the 1/4 mile with just this install though, so no hard numbers. Still, here is a good video explaining this intake and testing parameters. Buy it, don't buy it, it's up to you, just hope these posts help. I've got a shiftek H pipe en route as well I'll post about. Thought long on that one, and even though the guy who posted about it had some fitment issues, I couldn't find another mid pipe that sounded anywhere near as good. Will post that up as soon as it gets here.

Pulled the rain tray then took her for a spin and got after it numerous times. I know I have hearing loss so perhaps that's the answer, I dunno but, I couldn't hear any whine at all. :-(

At times I can hear my blower completely stock.

 

[Skwibbs]

Stock you can faintly hear it in normal/quiet at neighborhood speeds. All valves open, maybe at WOT w/ the windows down? It's not a presence or characteristic of the car really. Not even half the SC sound of an LT4 product.

Doesn't mean the car does not sound amazing or better than LT4 equipped cars, because it sure does, especially if we're just talking exhaust note. C7 Z06 w/ some tinkered exhaust is close second though. The new one is gonna be nuts.
