Ugh. Dependent people sadden me....

Our society has a real problem with being lazy and not caring how things work. It's important to understand. Living in ignorance is a real shame.

Schoolboy, i Don't HAVE to Depend on Anybody just so you know! You DON'T Know a Friggin' thing about me to say i'm Ignorant OR Lazy. You come stay with me for a week & see just how Ignorant, Lazy & Dependent i am. Sounds like you're the Ignorant one by judging someone you have Never met & just because i said i didn't need to know about a part on my car while it's still covered under Warranty & my Mechanic would be doing the work on it. I can Promise you i didn't get the things i have in life by being Ignorant, Lazy OR Depending on ANYBODY. I can also Promise you, you Don't have to feel Sad for Me Schoolboy

WHY don't you go hang out in the Camaro Forums, or do you have an RCF?

OHHHH!!! This is nice!! Thanks for the pic! As for your question on intake filters, the Blitz or the TOM's racing filters would work well. Even K&N is a nice filter. Whatever fits you best.

As for the "rainbow" coloring, that is only made by heat treating titanium. Real titanium starts to change color with the introduction of heat. When you run a titanium exhaust it will start changing color as you run your car and the natural heat from the exhaust will start changing the color automatically. The intake that @johnnyreb is running is the LEMS titanium intake. The intake won't change color because there isn't high enough heat to make the reaction happen so it will remain how it is which is nice.

The BEST titanium exhaust right now that has that "blue-ish, purple" color on the tips is Amuse. Powerhouse Amuse has been a long standing exhaust and aftermarket parts manufacturer in Japan that currently makes arguably the best exhaust on the market. It's like nothing else in the industry and nobody has come close to the true blue that Amuse gets from their special STTI titanium.

Check it out...

Nice! I just got back from vacay, so I should get mine some time this week.

You should pair it with the AFE Pro Dry S filter, reusable filter with more air flow! I would've went with TOM's but I heard there are issues with dirt coming in after a few thousand miles in the intake because it doesn't seal right.

Thanks for the Tip Buddy, who carries the AFE Pro Dry S Filter? Intake was Really Simple to put on (good thing to all the instructions were in Chinese/Japanese) Post a Pic when you get yours on.

there is a port also on our g35x engine that goes to valve covers, but its a single not a double.

What's the Difference between this one & the Racing one you have for the ISF, other than the $325 price difference Is it Strictly because this one is made out of titanium I can't see how it could be that much between the two, unless i'm missing something.

As an FYI it seems as though the RC-F throttle body is a little larger than the IS-F (that may have been mentioned in this thread or elsewhere). It may not make a difference with the Joe-Z or RR Racing pipe but the silicone hose replacement would not swap over in my car. I have the Icode intake and took it off my IS-F prior to trading it. Recently tried to fit it to my RC-F and the inner diameter proved to be to small. Its possible I could have "made" it fit but, that's not how I like to do things. Also, did not want to risk damaging the plastic on the intake box side.

Now if we could only get GruppeM (a Japanese company no less...) to make a ram air intake for our cars I would be happy...


Quick Reply: any intake there for the RCF ?
