Cold Air Intake Questions

[jroyk]

I have the JLT on a ‘16 Challenger HC. IATs run very similar to the stock box. That’s a good thing. The rain shield allows some sound adjustment. I find it overwhelmingly loud without and just right with. I like being able to hear some exhaust note, too.

If anyone can provide some input, i am new to community and just purchased a 24 hellcat Durango last week. I am in between JLT, LEGMAKER AND CORSA.

Have tried Legmaker and JLT only.
I personally preferred the Legmaker (more pronounced whine).

Tried Legmaker on my Hellcat - great quality, the blower whine is loud and was cool at first, but over time, became a little too much.

I run JLT on all 3 now, and is perfect for my taste. Also great quality.

Corsa - have not personally tried, so no comment.

Did you notice a difference in power between the legmaker and JLT? Loss or gain? Was it huge? Thank you for your input and taking the time to help someone new to the community

Is this on a Durango or a different vehicle? Did u notice a drop or gain of power with the legmaker?

You are talking such a slight change you will not notice it. The cold air intake are basically for a louder whine. I have tested the jlt and legmaker at the track on a stock and slightly modded Hellcat and the stock intake was faster be a few hundredth

I had the JLT & the AFe then went back to the stock box. I liked the AFe the best for looks & sound. But the stock box keeps the iat's lower.

You are very welcome. I did not try to measure power difference between the two. JLT has published/video test results of their unit vs OEM, not sure if Legmaker does or not. I do miss the look of the Legmaker carbon fiber inlet duct - it is badass looking to the bone, especially if you are a carbon fiber guy, but the whine just got too annoying for me on longer runs.

So you guys think that the temp sensor is not reading the actual intake temps correctly? Having it placed where it is could be giving us false readings?
I have a SRT 392 and the temps are very high all the time. On a cool night 80 degrees very cool air while driving , I can' get my temps under 98 degrees. A soon as I stop at a light, temps just right over 100 degrees and counting depending on how long the light is. And heat soak recovery times are very slow especially compared to my Scat pack which never heat soaks anywhere near these differences vs ambient.
