$266 for F-sport at Sewell

 

Yea no wonder its so cheap its useless, but if someone wants a nicer touch to they're engine bay jump on this.

 

Can you explain what you mean by that?

 

to be honest personally i don't even know if 266 for intake is cheap or not

 

If you like to see a nice silver metal tube that say's F Sport over the black rubber/plastic tube.

 

For a intake like that no its not, something like a K&N that doesn't just add a metal pipe and proven to gain performance (which i doubt is true but more throttle response is noticeable) could be worth that.

 

Drop in filters are the way to go on a Naturally Aspirated car.

 

Are you saying to just get the air filter and not the filter/intake package?

 

Yes that's what I am saying!

 

I've noticed slightly quicker throttle response and more noise from my air filter mods on previous cars. Then again, I also noticed slightly reduced MPG and I check that stuff religiously. It's almost like a game to me. You won't be tearing up any 911 turbos on the road after an intake purchase. It may make you marginally faster. The bigger gains from intake/exhaust are typically seen engines with forced induction.

 

I think $266 is very reasonable if it is possibly covered by the warrenty if you get the dealer to install it and you get a 3% or so increase in power (possibly). For my 450h that would be around 10hp.

Cheap Injen etc intakes were around $150-$250 or so for the 2GS.

 

I always wondered about intakes and exhaust, are they really worth all the money and fuss how much better does it get by adding these to ur car

 

imho, it's mostly about sound and look. i would never ever count on them for power / gas mileage

 

Agreed 100%

You want performance? Either headers and tune, or go forced induction.

 

On my Previous N/A IS300, a TOM's drop in filter showed a proven 12rwhp increase. I wasnt a believer until then. Drop in's for me.

And the TOM's was washable and reuseable
