Hey what kind of Cold air intakes does everyone have or would recommend? There is not many companies that make the CA kits for the Bullitt... Anyone have any suggestions?

JLT or K&N cai's are pretty good.

How about MAC? They have one and it only goes for $150... Anyone hear anything good about them?

I went with JLT, went on with no problems. A buddy of mine had a K&N and switched to JLT and like it better. I haven't heard nothing about MAC. I also choose JLT because it's a plastic pipe and plastic doesn't hold heat like and type of metal does. So choice is yours.

JLT! ALL THE WAY!

JLT has a fenderwell one and a rai thats like the K&N where it sits in the engine and that one is cheaper than the fenderwell. I like the one that sits in the engine bay because when I go to the track I take out my headlight and it gets the additional air flow.

BBK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JLT is great but i thinkthe BBK is cheaperran me $230, looks great and has a great sound.

I think I got my JLT for like 212 off of american muscle or somewhere like that.

All I have is a K&N budget air intake. Its the stock pipe with just the K&N filter at the end with a heat shield. I was thinking of going to the "JLT True Cold Air Intake Complete Kit". Will this make any difference in performance or is it really not worth it?

your not going to see much of a gain with just a cai.. so the type doesnt make to big of a deal.. i got the JLT mainly caz it wasnt metal and it looks awesome..

Get a JLT, you won't regret it. It woke up my engine.

If you decide to go with a JLT one trick that helps get the elbow pieces on is to heat them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

I liked the JLT I had before changing intake manifolds and will stay with them when I get one for this intake. Has anyone built a box around the filter and ran frontal air into the box so that the filter actully receives ambient ram air? I know the MAF and electronics would need to be protected from the occasional rain my car sees but I don't drive it in rain but do get caught on occasion!

JLT, dont get me wrong I like K&N but JLT is better for the application

BBK! Best performance and looks for your money

Welcome to the bullitt world! 4 months late.

Well I started a thread about a CAI and the use of a strut tower bar but no responses yet. JLT is beyond a doubt the best. On my GT I got what they claimed, about 15whp and .15 off my et. I still have a GT buy with an SVO intake, the forerunner of the Bullitt intake, but the strut bar will not fit with the JLT. Since it is a vert I really want the strut bar added so I am looking for a CAI that will allow the bar, anyone?
I may have to do a DIY system and use the JLT as a model. THX! Mark

Densecharger with k&n air filter located in the fenderwell works really well can't remember how much i paid for it, or jlt are the only two i would recommend

I did a google search on the densecharger and found a dyno test:2whp and increasing to 9whp at 6000rpm, hradly useable power at 6k and not enough down low to justify the cost except for looks. The advantage of the JLT is that it places not only the filter but the MAF inside the fenderwell so the MAF gets a straight shot of air to read instead of the more turbulent air that comes from a curve just befor the maf.
I have a GT with the SVO intake and just about any '98 Cobra system should be made to fit though with the JLT and Densecharger those 2 are enough and it appears the Densechrger allows the use of the strut tower bar which is important to me since I have a convertible. Thanks to jbullitt2005 for turning me onto that one!
What I would like is the oval coupler from the Densechrger system and then I could do a DIY system with polished aluminum tubing available from Vibrant through places such as www.fullthrottlespeed.com

18" sections in straight, 45* and 90* pieces for many uses. I could then do a JLT copy if I can find an oval coupler like the one Densecharger sells. I have relocated my Fog-lights inboard so the area in front of the inner fender is open to oncoming air and I will feed that air either to a filter that is in the fenderwell or into the stock airbox if I cannot find the coupler I need. Anyone know where an oval coupler for the dual 57mm TB like the Bullitt has can be found? THX, Mark

the 08 comes with a Ford Racing cai already!

I believe the thread has to do with the '01 Bullitt and a post to help him would be a bit more appropriate.
What most of the guys have felt is that what Ford does can be changed, modified,improved upon, etc. That is what this is about to my understanding but I am open to correction at any time! It is also what fuels the aftermarket also!

I have deceided to keep the stock air intake hose and just get a S&B filter for the stock aircan. Remember I have a '99 GT convertible with the SVO intake, very similar to the Bullitt intake. Wanting to use the strut tower bar that came with the intake when I bought it and having the vert I am making my own system. I moved the fog lights inboard and am using a scoop I fashioned and have a 4" polished aluminum pipe after the "scoop" that feeds the air to another 4" section of the same aluminum piping right into the stock aircan. This way I can use the strut tower bar with some sort of outside air coming into the engine. Actually I find that the oncoming air cools according to my SCT Xcal that is reading the intake air temps. They seem to drop with speed. Of course there is no such thing as a true ram air system but this does have oncoming air entering the system at a better(maybe?!)way than the inner fender would as that always seemed like stagnant air that did not change much. My JLT CAI filter did not get dirty in a summer's use. I will have to get a mesh "grille" fashioned before it is finished but it is an option. Otherwise I say JLT if a strut tower bar is not an issue with you who started the thread. www.jlttruecoldair.com I believe and they have a nice looking system for the bullitt, new, but it will not allow the strut tower bar, bummer for me!

I love my JLT intake, it runs all the way down in the fenderwell and really helped the car out. bought it used on eBay for bout $115 shipped.

Have a pic of the DIT RAI/CAI but cannot post it!

Go with the JLT for your bullitt from their site, you can get it matched to your paint and it looks great and performs as well.
