Don't want to bring a thread back from the dead but while browsing RR Racing's site for the 2IS I passed by this RR Racing Carbon Intake:

https://www.rr-racing.com/RR-Racing-...isxitk0001.htm

Just looks like the F sport one cept in carbon but the selling point for this one is possibly lowering intake temps cause it's not metal but the most important one was a eliminating the valve cover venting into the intake removing that part from the tube and putting a filter in it's place.

Anyone think this would be a worthy upgrade? Not that I have upgrade-itis or anything... just for functionality :P

5) Catch can
6) Check oil 1x per week and smell. If you smell gasoline dilution, you're gonna need to lower your OCI's to 4-5K.
