Has anyone had fitment issues with the JBody intake?? I have had mine for almost a year and even though i was impressed in the begining with it i have decided to chane my opinion. The intake is made of a soft aluminum and since it doesn't fit 100% I ran into some issues with it rubbing as shown





This is a result of the car being lowered and having a bulge in the fender liner





I have since remove the intake and switched over to a Rebel Autoworx CAI made of Stainles steel. The angles are better no fitment issues and works on a 2006 and 2007 SS/SC.. not sure if it works on a 2005 but im sure it does



I would recomend THIS CAI to anyone and stand by it 110%!!

 

My injen rubbed a little bit also. But that looks like alot of rubbing.

 

Where did you buy that intake? and how big in diameter is it?

 

Honestly

As long as there aren't any holes, it's fine if it rubs. So it won't look so pretty...it's a intake.

 

The new intake that i have in the last pic is from Rebel Autoworx and the diameter is 3"

as for the rubbing... at some point it would have rubbed through.

 

i want the Rebel Autoworx CAI

 

I have a ss/sc but my injen was rubbing and i emailed them and i sent them $50 and they sent me a new style intake. I had to send the old one back to get my $50 back, im still waiting on that. The new style intake fits nice.

 

A bit of an update.... the main reason that i wanted a CAI is i do ALOT of driving (52k in just over a year) and wanted to save a bit on gas. So far im averaging 7.2L/100KM or 33MPG mostly all highway driving. I never got that with my old intake. So for those of you thinking of getting a CAI the one by Rebel Autoworx is the way to go!!

 

I replaced my fender liner to replace the one that rubbed through and after 5 days of driving no rubs no scrapes on the new liner.

IT works 100% and looks super!!

 

I dont agree with that man.People pay good money for there ****.If i buy something for my car,i dont want it to have any fitament issues.I dont care if its a $10 part or a $300 part.If its not gonna fit like factory,i dont want it.

 

Bump

 

lol was this bumped due to the intakes going on a huge sale
