So yea, I bought the JLT CAI yesterday, it arrived at my house today, and I installed today as well. I took it out for about a 30 mile drive.... I LOVE IT! It compliments my borlas very well and I havent even tuned the stang. I give it a 4.5/5.... but for a reason. Since I have an Auto transmission, I had to drill a 3/4 inch hole into the induction tube to allow a, extra piece to allow an extra hose to connect to the tube (No idea why Ford made this tube...), Had my dad help with the drilling (hole came out better than JLT's other two holes haha), then I fit the grommit right into the new opening, there was a little dimple on the induction tube though to help show exactly where I needed to drill which made it easier, just so you Auto tranny users know in advance. Overall install time was about 30 minutes minus the drilling, very simple install, I again have no mechanical experience. The sound is great, very throaty, and I noticed a more responsive throttle from the drive I took. JLT states no computer retune is required on the V6 model but my friend told me his 07 stang (has a bbk CAI) eventually had its CE light on, so he had to tune it to remove the codes which were because of his CAI. He thinks the same will happen to me, although I have restarted the car about 5 times since I installed it and still nothing.
Overall again I recommend this CAI to any V6 owner who wants the best looking, best performing, and easiest install minus the drilling (still fairly simple). Im in love with the throaty sound at 5500 rpm+ :bigthumbsup
But back to MY concern on MY stang... anyone think the car will lean too much?? Should I tune it to avoid it overall? Or just wait and see if the light goes on? Anyone have any ideas??
