Blackmage Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm beginning to hate this industry, i understand you can't make parts forever, but some of these things are getting hard to find now! I really want to keep my strut tower brace, and use the C&L but you cannot find them new anymore, and finding them used has been hard. I could go with BBK but that chrome just clashes with my engine bay and i dont want to buy it then powdercoat it immediately. Next step would be to just remove the STB and go with the Tuneable Induction one, as that one appeals the most to me without the STB in place. What do you guys think? Stock 96-98 Intake $50-$70 used JLT Ram Air $259 JLT Next Gen $289 C&L Intake with 80mm MAF $325 Tunable Induction CAI (I know this is a bullitt, but pretty similar) $199 BBK intake $367 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I like the JLT next gen, the cleanest looking setup IMO and you can keep your STB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmage Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I like the JLT next gen, the cleanest looking setup IMO and you can keep your STB. it would prob go really well with a smoothed intake Jlt next gen or the c&l get my voteSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Try and find that C&L intake though, ugh i cannot find it anywhere, used even.

copmagnet Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't know why this hasn't been said...but the bullitt and cobra use the same intake.. http://www.americanmuscle.com/cnl-cai-01bullitt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to contact am about it tomorrow, see what the difference is as well. The cobra pics don't have that black connector, it's just a regular piece of metal. HmmmmSent from my iPhablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Ah here's the difference, the vacuum ports are moved a lite bit. That might work for me! Sent from my iPhablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I guess C&L made them different. BBK and various others use the same part number for both. My buddy had one on his bullitt he said he pulled from a wrecked cobra so I thought they were identical. You could always go to braided lines and those "AN" hose clamps to overcome the port difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTwilight Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I guess I got lucky. I found a C&L at a swap meet for only $30. I've shaved the C&L logo off and plan to polish then clear coat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Younts_Autosport Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 +1 on the JLT Next Generation if a C&L doesn't fall into your lap. You should definitely keep your strut tower brace and it looks like the JLT would fit without much work. I also think you should just go all out and paint match it, if that's your thing.

Shake&Bake Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 it would prob go really well with a smoothed intake Try and find that C&L intake though, ugh i cannot find it anywhere, used even.I remember trying to find the C&L new and used - impossible. Decided to just get a Vortech instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I remember trying to find the C&L new and used - impossible. Decided to just get a Vortech instead Ya know, i ended up getting the bullitt C&L intake and it worked perfectly and then i just saw a cobra C&L intake on ebay for like $150. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallows Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I was worried that not being able to run my STB would be noticeable but I have to say, I haven't missed it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
