Which did you like best? What are your thoughts on the final results? Hope y’all enjoyed!

[@PLLuxuryReviews]

That’s a hard one because the most expensive one looks better but it was a very close run it’s very hard to say

[@dbmracing2019]

@@PLLuxuryReviews right!?! I agree 100% man. Not an easy call

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

I’m a JLT fan. Plus it’s significantly more affordable.

[@dbmracing2019]

@@thereissomecoolstuff they did a GREAT job with this intake! And at that price point they are going to sell a lot of them!

[@mikepage0007]

3k vs 700 for almost identical power..less cleaning and not worried about scratch..plexiglass is always scratching over time..jmo..fair testing and well done

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Definitely interesting numbers. Looks like JLT isn't a bad option for those looking for a cheaper intake that isn't as pretty as the Eventuri but still put down some power!

[@dbmracing2019]

Can’t go wrong with either! They each have their merits…. Was a long but VERY rewarding day! Thanks for stopping by HPO!

[@KoreyParagonPerformance]

We appreciate you doing this testing & are excited to see future posts : ) We'll be doing our own in-house testing on a completely stock car with a time lapse during the whole process as we know the internet trolls love saying " Dyno numbers aren't real!!". So be on the lookout for Robwithaz06's car to have OEM air box, JLT air box & Eventuri air box (no other bolt on performance parts) tested once our paid for JLT intake arrives to Paragon without the car ever leaving the climate controlled dyno room.

[@dbmracing2019]

Even better!! I can’t wait to see these results Korey! This intake is absolute CHEAT CODE for how strong it pulls now!! I couldn’t be happier. Again great people and amazing products!

Just ordered jlt once confirmed it had some decent numbers..I know guys spending 4k on hi flow cats and are lucky to average half that gain ..tb looks interesting...need to see how they do without a tune and not throwing codes later..ran a nick Williams 102 tb on my 427lsx and had issues going into limp mode..finally had to swap it

[@dbmracing2019]

@@mikepage0007 you will love the JLT intake! Not that bad on the install either.

[@JLSpeed]

Great analysis! the difference of around 20hp at points in the mid range is pretty massive. That alone is worth the extra cost. Peak hp really dont mean anything you always have to take a look at the whole graph to really see the difference. That is why you are seeing people drop almost 1 second in their 60-130 times. Would be good to compare 60-130 times between the eventuri and jlt.

[@dbmracing2019]

That’s coming! Funny you should ask Thanks for stopping by

[@That_Corvette_Guy]

Love this real world style testing. Appreciate you doing the work to really show how these two options will affect your car 😎🤘. Both are a great hp pickup for just an intake. Keep up the great work.

[@dbmracing2019]

Thank you very much! Doing ported throttle body testing very soon and will post that as well!

[@83jward]

Peak power may be similar but the eventuri is leaps ahead in the midrange. Honestly, if you can afford a z06 you can swing from the more expensive intake that gains you so much more usable power over the cheaper intake.

[@dbmracing2019]

I agree with the midrange! huge difference there for sure!

[@Brandonsgarages]

[@doctordeuce22]

Thanks for the due diligence! I'm wondering your thought about simply adding the ported throttle bodies while retaining the stock airbox. Would you say that gave noticeable improvements at lower speeds and in the mid range?

[@dbmracing2019]

We did ported throttle bodies from Soler with stock airbox on my buddy’s car. IMPRESSIVE results for just TBs! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJPMlmxmqNOIiZosi=HjIqVtzgFItTad_J That’s his video. I’m excited to see what ported TBs pick up with an intake! That’s coming soon to the channel!

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

DBM, Great job on this video! I mentioned on another post, since I road trip and travel in my Z06 that the Eventuri clear cover would probably get scratched/damage from gear and luggage! I'm really liking the JLT CAI ! Nice job again, I subscribed too! -Shane

[@dbmracing2019]

Thanks Shane! Yah man that JLT intake is actually a great piece! My Eventuri clear cover actually had some damage when it arrived because there was an acrylic cube of the filter in the box as an added gift and it came out and was bouncing all over. Paragon made it right IMMEDIATELY but I can see if you actually used your trunk that may be a problem down the road. My trunk is for my white New Balance only. HAHHA

[@superchargederay]

What were the exact mid range comparison numbers? Thanks for doing the review and sharing.

[@83jward]

Eventuri makes 20hp more than the jlt in the midrange. That's super important because that's where you'll be spending most of your time. Peek hp is cool but the only way you ever feel that difference is when it's wound all the way out.

[@BobbyDroulias]

Can you please share a graph overlaying the JLT vs Eventuri with no other pulls?

[@lewislgZ06]

I would choose the JLT mainly because I don’t care to cut out my trunk liner, and I plan to travel and would over time scratch the clear cover up with things in the trunk. Obviously the Eventuri has its own air filters looking at the shape/size difference. Does the JLT have its own filters too? How expensive are they compared to OEM and how easy or difficult are they to change out? Thanks for the great content! 👍

[@dbmracing2019]

I have heard from a lot of folks with the same sentiment in regards to cutting carpet and trunk space. Yes the JLT intake has its own filter and it’s actually designed so it’s quite easy to change. Literally just pull a clear panel off the front and change it out. Not sure on cost yet because the JLT intakes aren’t actually shipping out yet. Thanks for watching and let us know if you have any other questions we can answer!

[@RoperCrew]

Top number doesn't mean much except for marketing :-) hard to read exactly in the 5-6 range, the E is ~ +40 and the J is ~+20? Eventuri is gorgeous but don't like it sticking out further into trunk though. Thanks for posting as I'm looking to buy an intake right now while everything apart

[@dbmracing2019]

Your numbers are correct….. in the midrange the Eventuri is about +40 and the JLT is about +20. I have more than a few friends that don’t want to cut the carpet or lose trunk space and have already placed JLT orders. I say it on the video….. for the price point there you can’t go wrong with the JLT. It makes GREAT power as well! DEFINITELY do it while everything is apart so you don’t have to do it again 😎. Stock airbox is kind of a pain to remove. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@cjsnylons]

Great results. Just not sure I would want to cut into my Z06 like that.

[@dbmracing2019]

I felt the EXACT same way at first but then I called my local dealer and a replacement carpet is $200 so I said what the heck and went for it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
