Anyone know what intake works with the 2.1? JLT said no dice with their intake. It seems like I've seen pictures of the Demolet intake with a KB, but I'm still waiting to hear back from them. KB has their own intake, but they will only sell it as a unit including a TB (which I want) and MAF (which I already have) for $812. You'd think I've spent even with their company that they would split their package, but NOPE! Just wondering if anyone knows of other setups out there. Thanks guys...

I've seen a couple the more I've looked - I plan to speak with Demolet tomorrow. I've called and left a voicemail with them today. As long as he doesn't say it WON't work then I'll place an order tomorrow for an intake (non-fenderwall) :thumbsup:

Edit - looks like they have an link on their website for KB GTs - plan on ordering tomorrow and then a TB as well.

Glad to hear you found something. One question though. If you're able to install the factory intake pipe on that KB then pretty much any CAI should work, no? What prevents the JLT from working on it?

Nino - that is an excellent question - I spoke with JLT directly and they assured me that it will not work. I think because the stock intake has some flexibility while the JLT is that hard plastic. I'm not sure how it wouldn't work if I've seen pictures of the Demolet intake working... :confused: They're basically the same intake, but if Demolet will assure me that their product will fit then so be it.

As for the TB - I'll keep you in mind for purchasing. Trying to find a 75 mm TB (NOT polished)

Makes sense. The stock intake tube does have a lot of flexibility.

FYI. We carry both the BBK and the Professional Products 75mm throttle bodies with the Prof. Products being about $30 less.

Yeah - I saw that on your site - I've heard some "lesser" things about PP so between the two I'd lean toward BBK. I've also been looking into Accufab and Edelbrock TBs. No decisions yet - need to ask around a bit, but if I opt for the BBK I'll be letting you know. Thanks Nino! :thumbsup:

We carry the 75mm Accufab also and the price is the same as the 70mm. You might wanna check up on that Edelbrock 75mm because one of my catalogs says it's discontinued. Just send me a PM.
