This intake is very different from an "intake tube" though. Mine has the RR racing intake tube, plus the password intake which actually has an enclosed system. This one has two access points of cold air, one from underneath the front bumper inlet, and the snorkel. Only a dyno will be the true factor in this matter but I can say with confidence that I notice an increase in power. I don't know why everyone is so quick to shut it down without gathering more info first. This is the only intake by password ever made, and Its different from the takeda intake since the takeda it uses half of the stock box with the flipping door. The password intake replaces the whole system. Why can't we all just be happy that there is something new on the market for our car that can possibly make good gains, so why shut it down like it's already a failure? I failed to do a dyno before I got the intake but I am currently running this intake alone, so there should be some data on a stock RCF dyno somewhere. Even if i'm wrong about the big gains...this intake looks cool as hell...so I don't really care. Either way, it's a win for me! Carbon goodness will never upset me!

Can the intake be purchased separately? It’s not listed on their website. I’m not interested in the other engine bay pieces, at least not right now.

thanks!

WHOA!

You just totally took my words out of context or personal. Neither one was intended to slam, flame, or upset you man. Trust me, no one is more happy for you, envious or interested in what you have. I knew nothing about all these other features on this thing. If it's not something I, or anyone else can obtain, then good on you man. Guess the rest of us will have to settle for whatever we can. And yes, I am happy for you!

I would call password JDM. They’re located out in Long Beach. They sell the intake separately I believe. The other guy on this thread got one! If you’re gonna buy anything lmk first so I can give you the promo deal!

Yes, intake can be ordered separately. I ordered mine a Monday, it’s on its way to me. Correct, they do not have it listed individually on their site. They are in the process of listing pieces separately. Im stoked as hell that finally we have a new option that looks AMAZING, IN CARBON FIBER and from a very reputable company.

So how much do they cost & I can almost promise you they DON'T add ANY extra HP, Especially an extra 10hp! Still waiting for that Dyno!

The door sills retail for $350-$400 and intake was $900-980 I believe. I got a once in a lifetime hook up deal. Sorry that won’t be offered again. DM me if you’re interested in the promo discount. I don’t want anyone to pay full price for anything lol! Why does everyone have so much hate!?!? How does everyone know so much about an intake that they know nothing about!? Must be psychic or something! Just be happy there’s a new intake!!! Spread love!

Yes, intake is complete, comes with filter, upper snorkel and airbox bottom and top and associated hardware, minus that RR-racing elbow. That is separate, obviously and from another company. The intake is $980 retail, but they did have a promo of 20% off which made it around $780 shipped.

Well, tried to make it clear I wasnt slamming this intake, or ENTIRE Carbon setup whatsoever. I even sent a PM (assuming DM is the same thing, but never seen that one) but never the less it fell on deaf ears. Whatever.

Best wishes to you guys with this gear!

Gunny Out.....
