Amazing look. I like the added CF look in the engine bay. The Obsidian on gold goes well together. Continue enjoying her!

Love the intake. Hate the wheels. JMO though. To each his/her own. Gold rims just aren't for me.

Lindsay, how did you come to find out about this Top Speed intake? Of all the intake option discussions I've seen on this board, I've never heard of this one. Do you know the performance expectations of the new intake, or did you happen to do dynos?

Ha, I looked these guys up and ran through what products they have available for the ISF. I saw Lindsay's intake as well as CF exterior mirror covers AND....AND a new dual performance catback exhaust system to be announced. Sounds intriguing!

I bet that carbon fiber will heat soak less than the metalic tubes from the other companies

Nice intake, I like the CF. That exhaust sounds really bad in the video and it looks like they removed the exhaust diffusers with a saws all.
