It looks cool! You need to let us know what you think about the F-Sport intake compares to the stock.

maybe I will just get the intake with the sway bars when I order. I have to admit I am really getting used to having the car ultra quiet. The Tanabe can drone mildly.

^ i do like the stealth look of intake, but yeah, it's just the pipe and drop-in filter. like the op mentioned, it's not a cone-type air filter, so the sound is not really there unless you go past 4k at WOT..

i have the fujita intake for the 06gs. it is much the same - stock sounding until roughly 3k, then you hear a throaty rush of air. it does not 'whistle' like a lot of intakes. for 225 and 20 min on the install, i don't think it's that bad of a product. the hks was twice as expensive and still used an intake 'box', much the same as the f-sport. it looked as if it would still restrict airflow, so i went with the fujita. fairly pleased, though when it kicks in it almosts feels like an old v-tech boost; you definitely know when it's pulling air. with awd, at least i think i'm going fast. lol.
