Do all the black JOEZ intake sleeves have the orange inside now? Here is what the black sleeves look like for mine. BTW..Your car is looking good.

I've only had the car a week, but I believe your right concerning the exhaust note. The JoeZ is just a smooth flowing tube, so don't expect much if any sound difference. If you want more sound coming from the engine then I would suggest the AFE intake or K&N.

SWEET.... I love that fact you have no plates and you are swapping parts already. I was shopping for parts before I got my own IS..... seems you already knew what you wanted... NICE

Looks good.

I have my brilliant silver with black sleeves. Just waiting for my Tanabe exhaust to arrive. I'll have to post pics soon!

The intake looks kind of funny. Looks like all they did was replace the rubber tube with a metal pipe, that's it. Everything else looks stock.
