where did you order your JoeZ intake from and how much did it cost? It seems as if a lot of people seem to really like it.

You can get them through the MYIS store HERE or you might try Ebay or see if another member wants to sell.

At the risk of being flamed ...

I supplemented my JoeZ pipe by removing the carbon screen from the airbox lid in hopes that it might improve flow even further, and blocked the resonator hole on the intake snorkel. I doubt the gains could be measured, but I don't see how it wouldn't help some.

NP man. So which one did you get? Polished or Black? Also what color sleeves? I know they were out of stock on these for quite a while.

I got the polished just cuz it will look kind of bling when you open the hood. I got the blue sleeves. I was thinking about painting my calipers blue also with some engine paint. So, I figured i might as well get those sleeves.

I also ordered the eibach pro kit. I will get that installed this weekend. Then it's time for exhaust. This is going to suck though because I do not want a rice sounding car, but I want max performance. Time to read the threads.

Thanks again for your help.

Haven't been there yet. Mostly dive Grand Cayman. I have also been diving in Cozumel on some cool drift dives and hit up some unique Cenote dives in the Yucatan including Hidden Worlds (Dos Ojos). That was my coolest dive thus far. The water was so darn clear it felt as if I was floating in space down there.

Hey Comb, if you guys ever head to Denton Dragway, let me know. I used to race my Mustang up there all the time. It'd be fun to get some Lexi out there. I'm sure I get some G35's to join in as well as plenty of stangs from the SVT club. I'm anxious to get this car on the track. I haven't raced in almost a year!

I'd be down to come race out there. I just looked at their website and don't see anything on their schedule for dec or next year. Is that track open still?

If you want to organize any sort of DFW events, there is a regional forum here on CL with many local members...

I'm aware. Just saw this thread before I checked the other forum.

Yes, comb, Denton is still open. They should reopen sometime in Feb. They've made some changes over the past couple of years adding some pavement and parking. It's in better shape than it used to be.
