2800 rpm. They also get a slightly different intake design as well.

Will the HPS tube fit?

It seems like the most cost effective intake tube option

Ah interesting, the HPS site itself doesn't seem to have been updated to reflect that information

I try to take the amazon descriptions with a grain of salt, but their return policy (prime) is fantastic so can't really complain on that front

In the picture section this looks like a RCF's engine bay. Should fit no problem. I believe other's have posted pictures as well on the FB group.



It does seem this is the best bang for the buck. Considering an intake tube really doesn't do anything for the vehicle other than looks. I still want to get the Tom's CF intake tube because it looks cool. The only thing I don't like about other after market kits include the Tom's piece is that you have two more silicon hoses and then 4 more hose clamps. It's not a clean look. The picture above is nice because you still retain only two hose clamps. It does look clean. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with it collapsing or anything like that.

What about the sound, when I put in the HPS intake tube in my IS-F it felt like it had more of a snarl?

I wasn’t aware of the Tom’s intake having additional hoses. I was considering that one down the line but for now I run the HPS because I got it for $80 off.
