Default RC F Intake Options

Hello Everyone,

Wanted to know if anyone has more info on the mods available for our intake system. So far I've found a Tom's filter for the stock airbox which can be matched up with any of the available JoeZ/Lems/Exart intake pipes. I am hesitant to make any purchases yet due to the lack of info about gains. If anybody has any info on these feel free to share. Thanks!

I'm currently running the HPS intake for the ISF. It was a snug fit... but it fits... also I had to buy a bigger T-bolt clamp for the throttle body side.

As far as power gains, I wouldn't know because I didn't do a before and after dyno (no dyno on Guam), I mainly got it just for looks and to go with the theme of my engine bay

I haven't seen ANY that will actually give you any numbers, to Me IF they add Anything i would think it would be maybe 5-8 extra HP & that could be stretching it a lil', Lol! I know me & RCF500 went with the LEMS (to me it's LOOKS Great with the Blue Mica Cars because of the Blue tints in the titantium, but i'm Not Expecting Any difference in the seat of the pants feel from any extra HP) If anybody can find anything out there i'd love to see it to! GL!

Hey we actually just ordered one of the LEMS titanium intake pipes for one of our RCF customers. We're waiting for it to ship from Japan but we'll be posting up some reviews and photos once it gets here.

Check it out. This one is for the RCF. They offer a Blitz drop in intake filter along with the pipe to give some HP gains. No official dyno numbers yet but you can assume it's just a minor bump in power.

You'll want to upgrade the exhaust to get any substantial gain. Hopefully soon some manufacturers will add some nice performance parts that will really open up the power gains.

Here is a link to our post on the LEMS titanium intake pipe. It's GORGEOUS!!

There is a drop in filter made by AFE, and intakes are being developed by companies such as Joe-Z.

^ The LEMS intake is beautiful.
