Cool F-sport Intake

I know this topic has been covered many many times. I could not resist.

I got my F-sport Intake......yesterday...and was driving all day.

I think it's useless...... My Injen made more noise when I had my Acura TL .......

What a waste of money....this was...however it was a gift......sheeesh

Makes me think twice on the F-sport Sway Bars...however...we are still waiting on the bushing fix...

It sounds good on the IS350. We have a local who has this and you could hear this outside/inside the car. Wonder what the difference is?

When I tried a few intakes the only one that "sounded" good was the SRT due to the larger pipe. The rest I was not able to hear.

i believe it is the airbox....(lower)
the IS lower box is re-designed...whereas the GS uses the same box....

what if you try to mimic the same cut outs as the lower box "or" has anyone test fitted the lower box to see if its compatible?

Just curious, but have you drilled out the screen/filter on the top box? That thing restricts soooo much air and when you drill it out, it adds a very nice sound under load! My bro drilled it out of his IS and a friend's GS430 and no issues. The ECU will remap to make use of the added airflow...
