Have this installed on my 2018 along with an X-pipe. Almost exactly the same HP and torque results! Excellent intake!!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thanks Timo for the review!

[@wasabifish1180]

Mine only 400hp with that, long headers and straig pipes... dont know why... the dyno guy said its the correct number 🤔🤔 im so depressed 😪

[@davidplatania563]

@@wasabifish1180 could’ve been a mustang dyno. They read a lot lower than most dynoed. Best way to make sure you’re car is running like it should is to race a stock mustang and see how bad you beat him.

[@mdtaylorjr1]

@@wasabifish1180 look at the datalogs. Mine only made 366whp on the dyno bit we noticed it flatlined in the upper rpm and the datalog showed it was pulling as much timing as it could due to knock. So I put the oem catback on to the longtubes and hope that was it.

[@gustavobonilla971]

This Intake is amazing and if your thinking about getting it, you should! I have this intake with a full Catless Corsa Xtreme exhaust on E85 on my 2019 Mustang GT tuned by Lund Racing. I just got it on a dyno at “SWG Automotive & Performance” and it made over 500rwhp!! The car is insane!!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thanks for the hands-on review! There is nothing better than someone that has already seen the results, sharing their experience.

[@tracek9896]

How does the e85 tune work since the owners manual clearly states not to use e85?

[@gustavobonilla971]

Jacob Bratcher yea I have the Corsa Catless 1-7/8” Longtube Headers

[@neglalwa777]

Gustavo Bonilla what’s your ig ?

[@TicklerDude]

If I install a cold air intake, will my warranty be voided?

[@MaxHedrm]

You should do an overlay of the before & after HP/Torque curves to show the improvement under the curve.

[@smrtbeenr]

Yes they should, but then we'd be able to see that it actually lost torque up to about 4000 RPMs where there is a sudden and abrupt gain in torque, I'm guessing due to the advanced timing they were able to program in with the 93 octane. With an overlay we'd also be able to see that the reason why it has so much of a power gain is that they didn't Rev it all the way up on the bone stock Dyno pull. To be frank most most of the improvements are probably due to the tune, which is why you'll never find a video of Dyno comparisons where they don't also do a tune.

[@MaxHedrm]

Yeah, these intakes don’t do much without a tune to tell the airflow sensor what’s going on. They need 3 runs. Stock, tune, tune+filter.

[@19hundoc47]

The exhaust is different on both runs. The intake isn’t providing the full horsepower increase

[@IMGONEIN60]

Sooooooo is there a tune coming for the Bullitt that will take Full advantage of the GT 350 parts under the hood. Would love to see this SOON. #K0023

[@erichaley6776]

I just wonder (curious) if the car was a manual transmission would the hp be higher but by how much?!!!

[@mikep0602]

Got the same cai and with just a lund e85r tune made 464whp!

[@latemodelrestoration]

That is a good number for your mods!

[@Xoars]

Lighter wheels + exhaust probably got you 15-20whp right there

[@jayson_inthe_5oh]

much better than American muscle's video

[@kylecurabba2121]

Did you guys pull the dyno plug for the pulls?

[@lanny222]

Can’t this intake work with any tuner?

[@zeeshawn3989]

Did anyone notice that these are two different cars? Look at the wheels of stock and the wheels of the one with JLT. Either they are different cars or it was not only the JLT installed on the car.

[@edwardclay6276]

This is my first time looking at this video but you did see that correct, not only are the wheels different but the exhaust is also different. Makes you wonder if the upgrades and dyno results are just from the JLT.

[@brettparker7873]

whats the gains when the hood is closed?

[@brandon6333]

lund told me they dont do sct tunes anymore how is this possible??

[@soulerflare7]

Is there heat soak to be concerned with or does that container sit flush with the hood , blocking any excess hot air ?

[@latemodelrestoration]

The CAI does does sit flush with the hood, so you won't need to be concerned with heat soak.

[@JustSonicShorts]

Does this JLT have a fitting issue? It has a clearance issue under the hood.

[@latemodelrestoration]

We have not had any clearance issues when using the proper installation techniques.

[@stephencarbajal5657]

Is the lund tune good enough for the JLT CAI and if so which part number is the tuner? Tuner description states a tune is still needed if you install a CAI?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Lund Racing is a reputable tuning company. The SCT BDX part number is 40490. Most aftermarket CAIs require a tune. -Landan Here is a link to the tuner: lmr.com/item/SCT-40490/mustang-sct-bdx-performance-programmer-40490-96-18

[@Dude-tb8ry]

How much more power would a borla atak catback and Stainless Power 17/8 catted headers put?

[@latemodelrestoration]

It all depends on other modifications/bolt-ons/tune that you've done to the car. Feel free to give us a call at 1-866-507-3786 if you have any other further questions or email us at [e-mail] - Jude H. - Social Media/Events Coordinator

[@kirbyc1370]

This intake must be tuned which I did from lund racing. Great power but I will be taking my car to the dealer soon because of the tick issue. Will this tune scew me over with the warranty? I can take the tune out but would have to replace original intake to run right again. Dont wanna do all that. Thx

[@latemodelrestoration]

We suggest setting the tune to stock to avoid any issues. It is more time consuming but will be worth it.

[@Stratted843]

So right now I have a 93 Lund tune on my 2020 GT. If I get this would the 93 tune work or will I have to get a new tune. And if I get a new tune will it override my 93 tune? A lot of questions I know lol.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Depending on who your tuner is, they should be able to get you a new tune to work with the intake.

[@boostedl1fe752]

Just installed this on my 2020 and the car through up a check engine light. I’m guessing a tune is required even though it didn’t say anything about that on the site?

[@latemodelrestoration]

A tune isn't required, but we recommend having the CEL checked to see what code it throws. There could be another issue that was caused when installing the CAI

[@lstnlne7399]

go w the roush enclosed in a box to keep the hot air out and has a cold air intake ! waay better design add a mangna flow 3 " competation exhuash w X pipe & VMP TUNE

How much power does the car make with the Lund tune with the factory air box?

[@latemodelrestoration]

We have not dynod with a Lund tune and a factory air box so we don't have an accurate number for that.

[@dieterichscanner2109]

@@latemodelrestoration I would like to see this as well.

Found the air box wouldn't allow the hood to close + sit properly. Thoughts/reasons? I actually ripped out the box, but now the filter is sitting open within the vicinity of the engine :/

Question. Will the 6-speed manual deliver more hp/tq over the automatic?

[@nozopoke1782]

Manuals always have more power

[@xqcpog7597]

@@nozopoke1782 not true, they are actually slower than an automatic and that’s a fact. Look it up urself 6 speed GT vs 10 speed GT. On a dyno it might show up as higher number because of the way the dyno measures whp using the power it generates PER rpm. Which a manual obviously will make more power per RPM as it has less gears but not meaning that it’s making more power.

[@nozopoke1782]

@@xqcpog7597 I said they had more power, they are not faster obviously. It’s not a mustang thing, all cars show greater power loss with automatic/dual clutch trans. Manuals usually account for 10-15% of the whp loss

[@danrizzo1093]

Actually the automatic is only faster from a dig. Not roll racing. The manual does actually have more power than the auto.

[@neglalwa777]

Where can I find a jlt cai mass sensor rubber gasket ?

You'll need to contact JLT directly if you need a new gasket

[@kadeemsmith8641]

Would this fit on a 90mm Throttle body?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Yes it will fit. You will need to check the silicone reducer fitment and make sure it is the right size when testing. If the sizing does not fit, you will need to buy a new silicone reducer to ensure proper fitment.

Its a limiter of the speed from the factory.

[@bobbywilliams1823]

I want it but I hear alot about these actually losing power due to higher IAT

Bobby, I have not heard any negative feedback regarding the JLT CAI kits. That is one of the most popular options for the S550 Mustangs!

[@Seynxx]

You’ll only have higher IAT in bumper to bumper traffic and waiting at staging lane. If you’re doing roll races you’ll gane about 10-12whp over the stock.

[@Raptor_428]

Will this kit void my warranty?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Raptor, it is always best to check with the dealership that you purchased your car or truck from. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate info regarding your warranty.

[@kirbyc1370]

@@latemodelrestoration so that's a yes

[@latemodelrestoration]

bb11 jr not always. Some places are just pickier than others. If the dealer installs a mod, they may be more likely to still warranty the car.

[@Nerd2You]

The saving grace for consumers is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act states that a dealer must prove that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty coverage.

[@mattjones1378]

When the dealer service dept plugs their computer into your cars obd2 port and see that it's been tuned, warranty voided.

Svt performance proved this only made dyno gains at the track it failed sucking in hot air, JLT and all these other companies do not have the money or engineering like ford performance to out do ford engineers. Big waste of money
