Revamped JLT Intake

[AZlb5.0]

So I was up in the air about getting a CAI. I was leaning towards the Roush closed box because of IATs. Then got on the net and looked for the JLT for S&G. Well it’s revamped and I just picked up a closed box JLT intake.

Saved me $100 over the Roush. Its supposed to be here Friday. It is a no tuned required intake. I think that the need for a tune and open airbox kept it out of contention. So once it gets here I’ll post more pics and do a write up on ease of installation, exhaust note and throttle response feel.

Edit: I went with the dry filter.

Looks like a pretty good design honestly.

NO tune means ZERO-ish gains. At this point it's just about the looks.
Trust me, been fucking around with them for 5 years. The only 2 to
consider is the factory stuff & the PMAS. IAT are about the same, it's
just a matter of how fast it heats up/cools down.

Agreed but I don’t have anything else other then a cat back. And coming from the LS world 99% of intakes won’t see any performance gains until a tune is done.

Once I get my headers, do an E conversion with a direct port nitrous set up and a stand alone is when I’ll tune. I don’t think this will be a sticking point once I’m done.

OEM air intake w/high flow panel drop in
Or
PMAS 120mm No-Tune intake (No-Tune means the PMAS supplied MAF sensor is recalibrated for plug-n-play supported transfer functions)

Is this the one you're referring to: https://pmas-maf.com/product/n-mt14-1-pmas-air-intake-system-tune-required/

if so, how come it's comparable to the stock cai if it's open box?

I would agree. I have the Injen EVO9202 sealed intake. Claims a tune is not required with stock calibration and that is true as it works as a drop-in replacement for the stock box. But without a tune the 25HP gain is not attainable. Maybe 1 or 2 HP at best due to increased airflow and a smoother intake tube. My uncalibrated butt dyno can't feel any difference. The intake is really nice though and I'm seeing the exact same IAT's as I had on the stock box. It takes a long time for the box to heat-soak sitting still. The plastic being as thick as it is I am not surprised. This also means it holds the heat a longer once you are moving forward. Highway cruising I am seeing 4 C above ambient max.

That one looks good too. The stock intake is excellent, but it's definitely not a looker, lol.

It’s here. This is the full kit and I have to say I’m impressed with the intake. Nice solid build. Very durable and the plastic is thick. Here are some pics. It’ll go on tomorrow.
Nicely packaged

Here’s the rest unpacked

Fairly straight forward. Easy install solid fit

Nice looking intake! Can you feel a difference on your butt dyno? How are the IAT's?

Not the case for me - but the tune helped in a huge way.

Just got it done a bit ago. I’ll report with IATs and see where they reach up to

So took it for a quick spin. Did a highway and street run. The IATs didn’t go beyond 6*. My car said it was 99* outside and the IATs went up to 105* as long as the car was moving. Definitely a win. The exhaust note got throatier and my butt dyno didn’t experience anything out of the ordinary. Take that as you may
