Default Favorite Intake for the RCF

Looking for an intake and I feel like there's a lot of "Gain Xhp" hype for some intakes but which ones are actually proving real results? After countless hours of searches and research, decided to ask you all and see what everyone else is running.

ANY Smooth tube is going to help out over the stock oem RIBBED one, probably Not Enuff' to notice but I got mine mostly for the look & it's titanium so it's really light (there was a couple of us on here that bought them & got a lil' break on the price but they are really over-priced). You can get them A LOT cheaper & will pretty much do the same thing, just give you a lil' better flow without the ribbed sides. LRCSALES, I was thinking about getting those same 2 braces painted to match my car & I was wondering would it matter if I drove it without them or would it be better to not drive it until I put them back on. I also thought about the CF wrap but I think it would show up A LOT better in Blue Mica.

I'd say just an intake tube!

Like the RR-Racing one.

im going to replace my aluminum pipe with a carbon fiber one. my blue one is for sale. it will require you to delete the valve cover breather tubes.

Funny I was thinking of intakes 2 days ago and liked yours, but then decided CF would be better because of IAT temps and heat soak.

Good call, read it thinking it was a link to the one he was selling.

aFe makes a very popular intake for this car now and with our Black Friday sales it's around 10% off.
