Lets try this again...

Well, I tried to ask questions at Stangnet, but no one wanted to help a new guy. Let's see if mm is any better...

Why is the C&L CAI and SF3 Tuner (05-09 V6) $100 more than the JLT CAI & SF3 Tuner (05-09 V6)? Is it $100 better? Better filter or something? New to this and don't want to blow 100 bucks on something when I could invest it into another mod. Thanks.

I would be willing to bet it's no better and they just think you should pay more for a C&L sticker than for a JLT sticker.

buy a cheap one from am. CAI have no noticable gain on our cars.

mcqueen · July 23rd, 2011, 07:29 PM

He has an 05. They don't make a "cheap" CAI for those like they do ours. And some of their CAIs require tunes. They see a little better gains than we do.

from what i've read the quality of the JLT kit is worth the $100 on an s197...i'd just pony up the rest. i don't know if it's how the tubing is made (higher quality material maybe) or the design, but it seems to hold up better

Thank you for the quick responses, looks like I'm here to stay. The JLT is actually the cheaper one, so if I get a CAI it will be that one. I already have dual exhaust, so what would you recommend for an 05 V6? I hear nothing but good things about the tuners from AM. The budget it $650, so what do you think is my best bet?

mcqueen · July 23rd, 2011, 08:14 PM

SCT is generally recommended. Most dyno tuning shops tend to use them than Diablo or smaller companies. I personally have an SCT SF3 and it does everything I need it to and more.

Also, welcome to MM

No biggy, happens all the time

The 05-09 section doesn't get a lot of traffic so those guys tend to post in our section so they actually get answers to their questions

6ER THEN I 8ER! · July 23rd, 2011, 08:23 PM

well if the JLT kit is cheaper then go that route...all i hear is good things from the s197 section

Huntdog111 · July 23rd, 2011, 09:18 PM

Thanks everybody, so yes or no on the CAI? Any better options?

2000stallion · July 23rd, 2011, 09:19 PM

Get an SCT you'll love it. Espically if your an auto

That's a yes

Huntdog111 · July 23rd, 2011, 11:39 PM

Thanks guys, great experience with first post.

mcqueen · July 23rd, 2011, 11:56 PM

Not a problem man. Hope you stick around

Huntdog111 · July 24th, 2011, 12:38 AM

Oh I will. I'll probably make some 4.0 specific vids for the CAI installation.

well remember there's a 4.0 section that might enjoy that more then the 3.8/3.9 guys here ...might get more useful info to them in that section

Huntdog111 · July 24th, 2011, 01:36 AM

Yea, I posted in the V6 post before I realized there were sub categories. Won't make the same mistake twice. ;D

mcqueen · July 24th, 2011, 01:40 AM

Just be aware that the 05-09 section doesn't get a lot of traffic for some reason so sometimes answers take a little longer. I'm not sure why our S197 V6 members generally don't like tech threads

Huntdog111 · July 24th, 2011, 03:40 AM

I'll keep that in mind.
