I have a question about the JLT CAI. Does this system include the full air box with the air duct that connects through the hole in the grille? I have a Steeda CAI and am interested in trying a JLT to see if I like it better. Only problem is I had to modify the stock air duct in order to fit it to the Steeda airbox. Otherwise there's no cold air feed through the grille. It appears from the pictures that the JLT does have that but I just want to make sure from someone who has one.

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. Two things about the Steeda I don't like:
1. The modifying of the stock cold air feed. This should've been included in my opinion, and I don't like the loose fitment to the Steeda airbox. I would have liked to see them include a complete air box.
2. The opening for the hoses. The kit calls for metal inserts to go into rubber grommets that sit in the inlet tube. One of my hoses- it's a bit of a stretch and after its hooked up, the fitting is loose because the hose wants to pull the metal insert out of the grommet. It's not a tight fit IMO and I am not sure if it is affecting my performance. It's in there but not tightly. It looks like the JLT has inserts that are part of the inlet tube itself, correct me if I'm wrong. This would allow the hose to click into place and stay there for a tight fitting.

Our fittings come pre-installed but they are removable also. Our latest fittings have 3 barbs on the grommet side to help with retention. However there shouldn't be much tension or "stretch" to get them to fit.

As the other's have stated the airbox is a complete replacement with the duct. The kit comes out of the box ready to install, weather strip and all ;)

Let me know if you have any other questions!
