lol, well thanks for the input!

I am most likely going with the F-Sport though. It seems to have a definite gain in HP and sounds good too from all the clips I've heard.

Has anyone installed this themselves btw? Easy install??

Easy install... power gains will be exactly the same as the Joe Z, ~5 hp

Physically in person I have not seen any results of gains I can hold in my hand or claim I watched. I have only been told about them and seen things online.

With that being said, I plan to dyno my car before, and after I install the intake, so hopefully that will answer some questions about if it actually adds any hp, and I will be able to attest to it from personal experience!

It'll be about 5 hp. Just like everyone else who has tested the Joe-Z type intake that the F-sport is a copy of has found.

Easy.... I would add in kit...most kits around 400-500 bucks. Safe and easy. A bolt on 50 shot..or some members already use a 75 shot during drags....
It has the power to deliver on tap when you need it. I mean...our 350 already has good power for day-to-day use

That's fine. I just made the mistake of NOT dynoing my car prior to my exhaust so I can't be sure the exact HP gain, so this time I am going to dyno it before the intake and after so I can actually KNOW what gain, if any, I get.

yes do the JOEZ thing, it wont give you sound, but does have gains. if you want some sound, then cut a hole in the intake box, which some people have done before since its what the Fsport intake has

wth cutting holes on a intake box, NO!!!!! To me intake is an intake, its not like you're gaining that much anyways. The real deal is a Supercharger or turbo, then thats when you gotta put some serious considerations. Just go with your budget
