i agree. i have a 350 and was debating on debadging the car. it looks a lot cleaner and subtle. also if they wanna know if my car is a 250 or 350, we can take off from a stop. hahaha

you can click the insert image button (looks like mountains) and paste the URL's there and they will show up in your post.... like this..

Did you do the intake and exhaust at the same time? Can you describe performance or gas mileage improvements if any you've noticed. How's it sound? Considering the same mods to my 350???

Letsrunem

I didnt do them at the same time... I did the intake about a month after i bought my car which was in May....As far as performance goes, you can feel just the slightest of improvement with the intake after about 65 mph...gives you just a little bit more top-end. As far as gas mileage. The intake helped tremendously. I would get 278-282 mpg and after installing the intake i started gettin 300+ mpg...

Performance out of the exhaust...Its been raining a lot here, so i havent had a chance to open it up yet, but when i do i'll get back to you on it... Im gonna take a wild shot and say that its not gonna give too much boost seeing that its not a full cat back exhaust. Axle backs give you a nice sound rather than power.

The reason why i love this exhaust and intake is because you can only here the exhaust up until 4000 rpm and then it gets quiet, but at 4000 rpm the intake comes alive so one compliments the other.

Thanks for the info. Intake mod. sounds like a no brainer
Hope the weather clears up for you so you can evaluate you new exhaust. Let us know your thoughts.

I am new to the 2ISx50 platform......so sorry if this is a stupid question. But do none of the intakes have a box to house the filter...besides that one that is like $1100? I may just go with the JOEZ arm instead and the K&N drop in.
