[QUOTE=mmandley;6558]Jerzpilot glad your liking the JLT and Gryphon i been watching your threads to see hows it going so i know what to expect. Looks like your the ghinny pig here and hopefully when i get my Gryphon on Friday it will all go in smoothly. i will have to wait for my custom tunes but that's
I love the intake, it does make some noise when you step on it but it's not bad. Bill installed my intake and the programer as we test drove it he commented to me that this intake was not as loud as S&B and Volant. Like Bill said maybe because the tube is not long the sound waves dont generate as much and having a bigger filter is another advantge. Many people have commented that type of filter suck in a lot of hot air, well I have been monitoring the IAT temp. and is about 2 deg. hotter than ambient air at most. Another cool feauture is that it can be used with a workable ram air hood scoop to keep the temperature equal to ambient air, however the only draw back to that ofcourse is incliment weather but with a temporary cover that can be resolved. I defenately felt an increase in power after those two mods. but since the jlt and the gryphon were installed the same time I don't know how much performance was given by the intake thru the seat of the pants dyno. My recommendation is to use the programer with this cai and if you plan to install an exhaust after the tunes than you should have it retune because your A/F ratio will be more lean if a less restrictive muffler is used. I hope this info is useful and good luck.
