Default JoeZ Intake Pipe Installed
Had one lying around from my ISF. I ceramic coated it to keep the heat out and to try and match the Nebula Grey. Just got done installing it and have not had a chance to drive it yet. Fits well though.

How can a pipe add any power unless it is collapsing into itself? Did he change the filter as well?

Is there a before/after dyno? Not trying to start a war here I just have never seen a pipe gain HP unless it's say a intercooler that is expanding or something like that.

Search the ISF area. There are a few I think.
The RCF does not have the resonance chamber that the ISF has, but it too is ribbed. Not sure if the pipe makes a noticeable difference in a 470 HP car. I was just showing that it fit for those interested.

Fastest NA ISF in the world is on a full factory intake... Cool to see it works and fits though

looks really nice, especially with the color matching and all that. Should add a bit of induction noise, no?
