If you dont buy the tuner you cant use the intake simple as that. If you want to be able to use an intake with out a tune you will need to look at different intakes other than the jlt. If you put that intake on without a tune you will throw a check engine light and most likley loss in performance also.

don't take the easy way out, when you buy something, get everything thats REQUIRED!!

if you dont get a tuner with the JLT intake, your car will run horrible!

I have a JLT (with SCT Tuner) and love it, but if it is a money issue, get a tuner before you get the CAI. Even a canned tune that removes the fly-by-wire throttle lag will make you think you are driving a different car! Just this alone is worth the price of a tuner.

If you want the intake now, get a C&L (with no tune insert), K&N, or Airraid.
