JT's breather kit with cat bypass

[bzbaeren]

I just installed JT's air filter today took 4 hours, 3 knuckles and I now understand why everything is so expensive when the dealer does the work. It was the first time I've taken off the tupperware what a job. While I had it down I also installed Baja Ron's spark plugs and wires to make it time well spent. It tested well and tomorrow I'll take a longer ryde. All in all the changes in the last month this and the cat bypass have made the ryde respond a lot differently. :ani29::ani29::yes::yes:

I did the JT's air filter and am loving it so far, not too loud for me, but nice deep throaty sound.plugs and plug wires will be a breeze now.I am considering the cat bypass, keep up the review.:2thumbs:

At one point I considered a cutoff saw:shocked:

I didn't change to the JT air filter, I put a K&N in the stock air box and did the plugs and wires from Bajaron, front and rear brakes and changed the anti freeze. I joke that it took 5 minutes to change the rear plug and 5 hours to do the front one.

Here's the thing..!!

The next time you need to get up under there it will be a breeze. The first time is always a bear but after that your a pro and you will question the shop rates...trust me..!! :roflblack::thumbup:nojoke

Now run non-ETOH gas for a couple of tanks, and the milage will impress....

I'm thinking about installing JT's filter kit on my wife's '11 RT.
Two questions:
1) OEM air cleaner housings are designed to limit intake noise. With the foam pre-filter over the paper element, is the JT kit significantly louder?
2) I've read the manual on accessing the air box. What panels really have to come off ?

I think even with the foam prefilter there is a BIT more noise. But its not offensive at all.

Remove the frunk and body panels down both sides. That is the easiest part of the job.....

Thanks JC.

I did

Been riding it this way for a while now and LOVIN it the MPG have picked up some but I love the growl around 4500 RPM also feels snappier. Hard work to do your self all the upper ware on both sides off and the Frunk as well, glad I didn't try to do it without taking it all off it would have been very hard. Only took about 21/2 hours and two knuckles of skin all in all well worth it.:yes::yes::yes:

Pistonblown has a good picture video of installing on a RS... same but different than the RT.

JT, if you twist my arm and let me try it (as I may not want to keep it if I don't like it), I will shoot a video on doing it on a RT
