guys, I NEED THIS NOW. finally someone real made something for us.

 

umm.. i dont quite understand the statement in the bold... if your are trying to say that no "real" company had made anthing then sir you have been misinformed... last time i checked ARC,HKS,Blitz,and LMS which all make intakes for our cars are pretty "real" companies...

 

i started a post on this a couple months back. didnt get it though. i did think it had a very well put design. but i just decided to go with the JoeZ instead

btw here is the site http://www.afefilters.com/gendesc.php?partno=54-10992

 

25hp?

Yeah right, or thats what the e-bay site says.

If you guy this take it to a dyno and see what numbers it puts out!

 

Don't forget K&N

 

Wait so whats better about this one?

 

probably that heatshield.

 

it's a short ram with a heat shield....woo hoo(sarcasm)

im sure all the other intakes are just as good if not, better.

BTW: There is a Performance section of the 2GenIS forum (cough cough)

 

^^^^ More exposer in the regular forum!!!

 

hahahaha @ exposer

 

It looks like this can be combined with the Joe Z pipe. But not sure if its worth $295.

 

i consider it a REAL company because i've always been more interested in german engineering. like bmw and porsche. AFE is just a bigger name out in the euro field. Afe makes the carbon fiber intake for the e46 m3. hopefully soon it will come out for the IS. its like 800 for the m3, im ready to throw down that much for it.

 

haha its the euro version of ARC!

 

Kind of sounds like it.

Not a big fan of the short ram for the ISX50 - why use hot air inside the engine compartment when the stock CAI is pretty effective. Heat shield isn't going to do anything inside our compartment due to the airflow patterns in there created by the covers.

 

euro? ha! just like most of the euro (german) cars... only a short ammount of time goes by and then your stuck and have to pay an arm and a leg to get it fixed. i learned my lesson from mercedes and bmw.
