    Swapped out JLT with K&N

    About an hour ago I switched out my JLT with my recently aquired K&N. A couple observations: The K&N has less moving parts, and you can throw it all on it one piece. Also, it has a billy bad ass support bracket pre-fabbed that comes with it. I did not have to make one. As far as looks, meh. The JLT has, to me, the upper hand. The K&N is all one piece, but it looks small compared to the giant tube of the JLT. Plus the JLT filter is longer. It's not as big around, though. (<---freebie for tj ) So for looks alone, I like the JLT. I have not cranked the car yet, but I have a road trip tomorrow, 4 hours each way, so I will post back on the results. My booty is my dyno, and trust me when I say it is a sensitive piece of diagnosticalogical equipment.
    Groan.
    Boom.

    Did the same thing a few months ago. Swapped the JLT that GoMifuni put in with the K&N CAI from my old 03 and IMO I prefer the K & N. I'm curious how you make out with the same swap.
    Marauder Prime:
    2003 300A
    K & N CAI 57-2563
    Ford Racing 4.10 Gears
    SCT Tune
    LED Corners and Taillights
    Upgraded LCM Relay
    8 runs, best time 14.717, I'm ok with that for now

    Got to disagree there buckeroo. The K&N looks much more refined. Performance wise I think their are pretty even.

    Nope. It works great and when you nail the far right pedal, it sounds like someone is trying to drive shave an angry gorilla in a phone booth. MEAN.
    But I have gotten tired of the debate on which is better so I will answer it for myself. Cost is not an issue since I paid just about the same for both.

    Where did you get the K&N? Cheapest K&N I've found is $243. Cheapest JLT is $159.

    Lidio's tune was by far what made my car most confident in all aspects of driving but the JLT hands down packs a punch!
