I just picked up a SFP white isf. Picked it up with 14 miles on it. I work for penske auto so I got a good deal. They gave me the car for $51k+ttl. The car is great, it has everything but the laser/ radar system.
My big question is what's the best exhaust/ intake I can get for the car? I see most if you guys use the joe z stuff. Is this the best combo?
My other car us a 640rwhp s2k. The car is fun but something always goes wrong with that much power in a 2lt.

Any help would be great. Sorry for the short intro, I'm on my phone. Work has everything locked down. I will post picks of both cars soon.

Welcome to the site and congrats on your new F! What color interior did you get with the SFP? Sounds like you got a decent deal

There are only a few exhaust/intake combos on the market right now for the F. Exhaust wise there is Joe Z, Tenabe and SRT. Intake wise, there is SRT and the Joe Z intake tube. I don't think I'm messing any other brands. I know there were some one off's at SEMA last year that were never released.

I personally love my Joe Z setup (there are a lot of threads about feedback regarding the Joe Z products on the F, I would do a search when you have more time ). His setup makes the car sound like it should have come from the factory and the gains for an exhaust and intake are really good, especially for the price

Again, welcome and feel free to ask any other questions you may have

Congrats on your new ride. I think you will really enjoy the F, but don't expect the same aftermarket support that youhave for the S2000. Luckily, these cars are pretty darn fun in stock form.

I would love to see a pic or two of your S. I had a '07 S2000 for awhile and they sure are fun cars. You really have to drive them to get the most out of the stock motor, but that is fun part of owning one. i can't imagine what an S would run like with the kind of power you are making.

where did you get it?
I'm betting since he works for Penske, its probably somewhere in Tysons. Penske owns quite a bit up there from what I hear.

Your joking right? There are many with more power but not too many that are faster in the 1/4. Let me post some pics and vids







and the new set-up











I have a ton more pics but i think you get the point

well you could but I only run C16 so at $14 per gallon it kinda sucks. Also, getting in and out of that cage was the worst. Then you have the seat belts, the clutch, solid diff mounts, ext...
