You get the JT intake yet?It is good that they explained their Dyno results and that they tested both filters with and without the cover. Looks well thought out imo. The timeframe thing was hilarious though.
I switched gears... Stillen orderedYou get the JT intake yet?
That's my car in both pics, I will write a review on the intake later and I dont have my car at the moment it's at Stillen so no pic requests please... So yes it uses factory air ducts to a point, cant explain without pic and it isolates the intake filter from engine bay heat, the heatshield uses the body/fenders to separate the filter and engine bay and in turn the air duct feed it fresh air.@STILLEN , it's still a little unclear on how the air is being routed.
The recently posted still pictures on your site show side covers for the car not installed, which leaves a large opening at the top of the filter enclosure into the engine compartment:

The video shows side covers in place, which leaves only a small narrow opening at the top of the enclosure:

Which method is used for the production release?
And as for the factory air inlets on the radiator bulkhead, do the filter enclosures actually connect to them (it doesn't appear that way from viewing the parts), or does the product depend on air from that area being drawn up and over the filter enclosure, and into the top opening(s) shown above?
Will you be posting the installation instructions?
Thanks for the additional info. Hopefully we'll get some pictures soon that show how it uses the factory duct in the flow of intake air....

So in the parts view picture on their web site, it looks like the top of the filter box forms almost a full filter surround, but the bottom piece is simply a side panel, which would leave the underside of the filter open to the engine bay - is that how it works?It will attach to the top of the air duct and the airflow will be guided go into the cavity where the filter is... if your thinking that it will attach to the air duct like the oem airbox, its not. The air duct is small and it will become a bottleneck at a higher flow so you would not want it to connect like the oem airbox that's my opinion.
hope you can understand this...So in the parts view picture on their web site, it looks like the top of the filter box forms almost a full filter surround, but the bottom piece is simply a side panel, which would leave the underside of the filter open to the engine bay - is that how it works?
Yes you got it!OK, if I understand your 'L 7' correctly I take it the bottom of the inside panel meets the lower inner fender metal to 'close the box'. Thanks!
Still hope that Stillen will post some pictures or diagrams that show exactly how the source air enters (including the air provided by the factory pass through).
Sounds like you guys got the system pretty well reverse engineered over the weekend so I'll just go ahead and post the pics I promised.View attachment 11148 View attachment 11149
