Intakes
 
There seems to be a big debate among our cars about intakes being worth the money or not.

What's your opinion?

What intake setup did you go with?

C&L ftw or jlt..

I have C&L, don't know if it improved anything.
I will have it for sale later this year. ;)

I'm sure most of what I felt was from the tune.

Yea it's in the tune I'll pick up one when I find one for cheap if not I'll rock the stock airbox

The stock intake on our cars is extremely efficient. The gains you feel come from the associated tune, not the new tube. I went with a JLT, mostly for looks, and GH's gave me a good deal.

The C&L is the best, the others are so-so. But it also does have a lot to do with the tune.

I've got the JLT, I just like the sound.

I got the steeda one just for looks. Nothing you can feel as far as performance.

i've heard this as well.

The first items i added to my car were a JLT with a BBR email tune and i definitely felt a good difference. But it's very possible that the tune (throttle response, cam timing, etc) were the real difference makers.

the boss 302s race car runs with a stock air box.... gotta be a reason for that.

That says a lot right there!

I ran the JLT CF CAI with tune and hit the same time as stock box with tune on the 1/8 mile...IMO, im good with my stock box.
