Nice looking rear end!

I think those look AWESOME, especially with the Blue Mica Cars! I've asked several times but still haven't seen an answer on this one & JoeZ's, are they just Cosmetic or does they actually add a lil' HP? though, it seems like someone said something like an Extra 30hp (i KNOW that's not going to happen) i was thinking maybe 6-10 if ANY! make sure you show us some pics when you get her on (this is the one i was leaning to, mostly because it just looks so AWESOME, Lol) now IF there was a Big difference in JoeZ's that would change my mine, but i just don't see it! also, wasn't this one about $700? Thanks!

The stock rubber intake pipe is ribbed, which restricts the airflow more than the LEMS and the JoeZ intake pipe, which is smooth. I don't believe there will be any difference between the LEMS and JoeZ in terms of power, but the LEMS is going to be lighter due to it being made out of titanium.

The pricing is about around $600 with shipping. Here's a few more pictures of it below!

Is the stock airbox as good or better than a typical aftermarket "cone" filter?

The stock airbox is better than the aftermarket cone types unless the aftermarket cone types has a connector piece that fits into the stock airbox like the Takada ones. Most aftermarket cone filter will lose power due to heat soak.

I don't mean to be rude, but I said...AND LINKED the dyno chart showing the exhaust added roughly 30whp.....the intake more like 5. Seriously....
