Default Joe Z Intake Tube

Hi all,

This may have been covered already but I was wondering: What is the increase in HP by installing the Joe Z intake tube with the stock air filter or is there any at all. Thanks in advance for any and all info on this.

According to the instructions that come with the Joe Z intake pipe it says, Congratulations you just earned 5+whp and torque OR something to that affect. Im sure Joe Z or any of the more seasoned forum veterans will chime in shortly.

You will probably not notice it regardless if it added anything or not. Same if you change out the air filter. It looks really nice under the hood though.

The main benefit is that the JoeZ will sound a little louder than the stock tube. But gains are negligible if you read the threads here and not on the site selling the product.

Generally speaking intakes don't show gains on our cars. They're more for sound.

I've tried the K&N Typhoon, JoeZ, and Injen. I like the Injen the best but performance-wise couldn't tell any of them apart.

Thank you all for the replies. Much appreciated. So, even if the tube does deliver 5+ HP it isn't enough to notice. I guess this means that the 2014 special edition IS F with 423 HP really won't be that terrific either. Oh well, I would like that titanium exhaust system though!
