Looking to do my next Mod. Thinking F-Sport Intake. Just did the F-Sport Wheels so can't justify exhaust yet. Anybody "just" do the intake? Make any difference or not worth doing until you do the exhaust too?

11
350
AWD
Black on Black
18" Fsport

 

I have just the f-sport intake.

Maybe gained a little, not really sure, but it sounds a lot better!

 

You won't feel a difference, but you'll hear one.

 

As far as performance goes, there's not much we can do. Especially for us 350 awd'ers. All we really have is intake and exhaust.

I went the joez route with a custom cut out. Love the sound. Def made a difference there!

 

The only think you'll gain is a nice sound as the intake opens up at 3500Krpm

 

I only noticed a slight sound increase.

 

That's a beastly engine you got there

The sound is pretty noticeable when you get to around 4000RPM. When I had just the intake, I would purposely shift late just so I can hear the intake haha.

 

Thanks all. Great feedback. Will probably do it at the 5k service and see how I like the sound and then think F-Sport Exhaust.

 

haha wow I was in the same position as you! but i bought my fsport intake on sale :P and i told myself I will wait till my 5k service to install my intake..
but i ended up doing it myself one night -.-
Now only time will tell until i pull the trigger on the fsport exhaust..
only at 3k miles only LOL

 

Langjaykev, where did you buy, how much and hard to install? If you don't mind telling me.
Thanks

 

Get it from www.sewellparts.com. Sign up with your CL username if you haven't already. I got mine there for ~ $350 shipped to my door. Installed in less than an hour. If you can change a light bulb, you can install the intake.

 

Intake alone should give you about 5 HP and it's the most cost effective performance mod. F-Sport Intake will cost you close to $500 MSRP

Exhaust will give you about 2 HP and it will cost you $1,470.00 MSRP.

I would get the intake first since it's the best bang for the buck in terms of performance. BUT, with 5 extra HP, it's not going to help much. In fact, you won't feel big difference in terms of speed.

As other said, it's more of a cosmetic/sound mod...

Someone posted a dyno result in import tuner magazine. So I won't take any credit for it...
