It has come to our attention that a few 2005 GT JLT kit customers have had an issue with their filters falling off while driving. If this happens, the car will go into “failsafe” mode and could stall. This has happened to a very small amount of customers; however, we found it necessary to issue a recall/fix for the problem.
It has been determined that the small filter clamp area and the added heat can distort the pipe end, resulting in the filter falling off. To fix this problem, we have a billet aluminum insert that will press into the end of the pipe, giving it rigidity and more surface area for the filter.
The insert is easily pressed in the MAF end of the pipe. It can be used dry or with a small amount of glue or epoxy. It's snug. Then once you mount the filter and tighten it till your hearts content it will all be rock solid!
I will be sending a formal letter to all customers, but posting here and other sites first to get the internet customers faster.
All kits will be going out with this installed from this point on!
Here are the options on the JLT insert:
1) Convert your car back to the stock air box and re-flash the computer to the stock tune. Send your JLT (pipe only) to JLT Performance 633 Marston Dr. Chesapeake, VA 23322. JLT will perform the fix or replace the pipe (if necessary) and return the pipe to you. This should take less then a week total turn around. Be sure to include a note with your name, address and phone #.
2) The insert can be sent to you to install. It may involve heating the pipe end with a heat gun and pressing the insert in with a hammer and a block of wood. The insert will be shipped to you as soon as we are notified you have chosen this option. If this is the best option for you, please contact JLT at [email protected]. If your not comfortable with this, please send me your pipe.
I sincerely regret this issue and apologize if it has happened to you. Please be assured it will be taken care of as fast as possible. If this is not a problem for you and your JLT, please disregard this notice.
