I am looking at a Cobra Jet package that offers the choice of the Ford Racing CAI, or the JLT CAI. Anyone know of any considerable difference between the two?

You looking at the CFM package with the 67mm twin setup? Think it boils down to personal preference. I personally would prefer the FRPP piece, hard to beat OEM fit and finish.

I'm pretty sure that the FRPP CAI doesn't come with the grommet that you need for A6 guys. I know the JLT does. Not sure what trans you have.
You're right, it doesn't. However, you don't need that even with an automatic. I yanked out the one way check valve on my car and added the check valve to the brake booster, like the MT-82 cars. Works great.
Yeah, it's the CFM kit. It seems like a pretty good deal. I have a Manual. I was just curious if either CAI held any advantage. Appreciate the responses.
To not start a CAI debate just ask your tuner which one he prefers. No real advantage proven...

Given the choice between the two, I would go with the FRPP.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I went with the FRPP myself. It was a really easy install and maintains the stock air feed from the bottom of the box. The JLT one is a re-worked 2010 model that uses a normal "heat shield" rather than a box that allows you to mate to the stock feed like their 11+ intakes do. IIRC they did it so they can produce 1 intake that fits the 4.6 and the CJ cars.
Pretty sure JLT has some revised kits out now that use the stock airbox setup. They call it a "true cold air" kit. That's the one I have. Not sure if its the same for the CJ setup, but pretty sure it is.
The CJ set up does not retain the stock bottom feed, the normal intakes do, but not the CJ models.

The JLT heat shield bumps right up to where the intake tube on stock box goes. It's actually a more wide open shot (not pinched down tube) into the filter area from the grill. I dremelled out the far right side area on my factory CS grill (and moved my pony tri-bar to left side of grill) to allow more air flow into intake area. So it is a cold air intake, just not a sealed one.
