ok should i get a JLT or C&L cold air intake for my 04 mach 1

C&L much better made....jlt on the mach is cheap as hell

 

[SWEET2KSTANG]

c&l is my recomendation. i think jlt is the most overated, worse fitting, cheapest POS out on the market. i have worked with a couple of them and hated everyone i have worked with.

Not sure about the Mach, but JLT is the way to go on GT's and Cobras

Sweet you saw my heat shield for crying out loud. Buy C&L and don't look back. If you go for a JLT at least look for a C&L heat shield because the JLT doesn't fit for ****.

jlt is def the way to go on cobras, but on machs id go with the ram air intake to keep the shaker functional

jlt fenderwell kits are a bitch to put together and put on. id go with the c&l.

Why do most of you complain about the fitting? The heat shield happens to fit perfectly fine! And the numbers and gains are respectable. If you ask me, it seems like some of you may have been either impatient or unwilling to make it fit. My RAi doesn't rub nor have i had a "fitment issue". Its up to you.:yes

isnt the c&l metal? or does it just look like it? i thought that was worse bc the metal got hot

Its not really a fitment issue other than the ram air tube not wanting to stay in the heat shield. The heat shield is a plastic POS that looks like they cut the hole in it with a steak knife. The quality of the heat shield isnt even respectable.

The quality CUT in the heat shield i can understand, but have you asked for a new one? I complained and recieved one with a tight fit and haven't had a problem since. The ram air tube doesnt dislocate or come loose like before. Overall the gains with this unit were definitely noticeable. I can't comment on the C&L because i don't own one.

it's realy all preference. one of thoe things you're just gonna have to deide foryourself.my jlt fits tight and I didn't have a hard time installing it. I dunno why everyone else did?

 

[SWEET2KSTANG]

personal preference is for sure. the fitment on all the ones i have messed with were horrible, but thats just the ones i have ran into. maybe mach boy has a pic of his jlt set up, i think i could of done better with paperboard and ac ducting. the c&L is aluminum not any steel type of material. any material will get some sort of heat soak, it is how well it can dissapate the heat and insulate the incoming air that makes the differences. jlt has a great set up, just has issues with overall fitment and quality in my opinion. my iat's with my c&l are comparable to the jlt, i have checked and data logged it myself. initial heat, the jlt is better, but once air is moving thru the c&l the temps come down quickly.
