GA-Marauder

Night Stormer
Called Jay on Monday, had great conversation, ordered RAI. Arrived on Thursday at 4 pm. Installed by 5 pm. Test drove at 5:01 pm. Definite added giddy-up. SOTP increase in low end torque, very pleased. :D Thanks, Jay, I'm a satified customer!!!:burnout:
 
RAI ?? Isn't that ram air induction? I didn't know they had a ram air kit! Do you have pictures?
 
Thanks Tony, glad to hear your happy with the kit.

MARAUDER S/C #5: I only have one kit for the MM and if you pull the headlight you will have the "ram" effect.:D

I'm not sure what your getting at.
The JLT for the Marauder is called a RAI. I call it that because it's not a "Cold" Air Intake. It's still under the hood.
The filter is filtered on the end and with the head light out (at the track) you will get a ram air effect.
 
Rai/cai

I think Jay uses the term as he said above, differentiating this from a cold air intake because it uses an open powerstack filter which basically sits where the oem air box was. I haven't uploaded any pictures yet (still trying to figure out how:confused: ), but at the JLT website, there is an MM installed picture. Anyway, bottomline is I self-installed in less than an hour, and am pleased with the results. It looks great, and adds IMO low end oomph.

I also installed mine in less than an hour..... haven't dyno'd the car so don't have any numbers, but it looks & sounds good. Just ordered a stainless steel heat shield.... more bling..... under the hood.....

SOTP factor = feels quicker......

Thanks Jay.

A Carbon Fiber or Black Plastic heat shield would work better and look better.
The Stainless Steel absorbs heat from the engine compartment and will transfer it to the incoming air.
A Carbon Fiber or Plastic shield would be resistant to heat and keep your incoming air cooler....

Would probably have to agree. I also installed the stainless steel heat shield, more bling than function. Noticed when I raised the hood after running today, the shield was extremely hot (to the touch, though pretty good looking too). Wonder if there is anything I could use to coat/cover the underside of the shield near the filter? Ideas?:confused:

No thank you, for the buisness and the plug!!:beer:
 
Satifised Also!

I ordered one and in about 4 days it came in the mail! I was putting up the Christmas lights when the mail man deliverd it. Well I stoped what I was doing, jumped off the ladder, left the lights hanging off the house and immediately installed it.

Install was very easy/staight forward, kit made of good qualtiy parts and took less than a 1/2 hour to install. I like the improved looks of the RAI and at WOT I love the added sound of the car breathing! Seat of the pants meter - the car seems a little more responsive in the 20 - 40 mph range.

Thanks

I am running mine right out of the box, I never thought of this. This mod seems to difinately add some seat of the pants fun, I have had it on for 6 days now and my foot keeps getting into it a little more.
 
In my opinion is sounds good, you hear the intake working, WHOOSH, kind of like when I had my 1972 455 ci olds back in 1980 and the extra 2 barrels of the 4 barrel kicked in.

Little more noise on WOT, not during normal driving. With my Flowmaster 40's, I can now hear it from both ends.
 
Another satisfied customer

I put mine on last weekend as well, and am very happy with it, both with the nice sound and the increase in performance. It really barks at people now when you kick it.

I gave a guy from work a ride home from the Redskins/Eagles game in it and remarked to him (while accelerating past some schlubb listening to Led Zepplin): "The Marauder was angry that day, my friend . . ."

Every day this week he's asked me how the Marauder is feeling. I tell him "Oh, its still pretty angry . . ."

Ah, but that's why we bought these cars now, isn't it?:beer:
