Series 2 Fenderwell Cold Air Intake Kit

The JLT Performance Series 2 Fenderwell Cold Air Intake Kit (CAI-FMC-9698) is engineered specifically for 1996-1998 Cobra Mustangs, aiming to optimize engine performance through improved airflow. Its primary construction features a 4-1/4 inch ID intake tube made from durable, roto-molded black textured plastic. This material choice is crucial for resisting engine heat, thereby ensuring that the intake air charge remains as cool as possible for maximum density and combustion efficiency. Unlike some performance intakes, JLT avoids metal tubing in this design. A key design element is the relocation of the MAF sensor and air filter into the fenderwell, a strategic move to draw in cooler ambient air. This intake system is designed to work seamlessly with both 80mm and 90mm MAF sensors, eliminating the need for additional components if you plan to upgrade your MAF later. The intake tube itself features a molded 105mm MAF housing, which promotes smoother airflow by eliminating the need for separate housings, couplers, or reducers. This integrated design contributes to its ability to support high horsepower levels, up to 800+ RWHP, making it suitable for heavily modified engines, including those with supercharger swaps from brands like Whipple, Kenne Bell, or Eaton. Installation of this JLT cold air intake is rated as easy, suitable for novice skill levels. The kit comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, including the JLT Black Textured Plastic Intake Tube, Silicone Coupler, Silicone Reducer, Apron Plate, Powerstack Air Filter, Silicone MAF Spacer, MAF Adapter, MAF Adapter Gasket, and Heavy Duty Clamps. This intake is also CARB Approved (EO# D-761), ensuring compliance in 50 states. Typical gains reported with this kit range from 14-18 RWHP over stock performance.
