So I was surfing the net at work and came across this intake tube made out of carbon fiber.
I was just curious to see if anyone has ordered or even seen this? It looks surpsingly close to the JoeZ intake. Here is the link to the web page. http://topspeedauto.com/lexus-isf-08...r-intake-hose/

 

Unless this is a new brand, this has been out for a little while. Some members reported having some problems with the sleeves and fitment. There are a couple of threads about it.

don't buy it.. i did.. fits like **** so i returned it.

 

Thanks guys, you saved me a big headache. I was reading some of the stories posted, Its amazing a company would release this without a test fit. Very dissapointing to say the least.

 

the beauty of Club Lexus. I actually like the idea of a CF intake tube. Hopefully someone releases a quality unit.....................eehhmmmm ......RR Racing ??

 

+1, almost bought it until I was warned about it here.

Get the HPS or Joe-Z.

 

Often imitated never duplicated...

Joez one and only simple yet works well what more can you ask for

 

Novum out of Japan makes a dry carbon intake tube ....but its roughly 800 bucks :/

 

i have a hps on mine and it gets super hot.

 

Never duplicated.....I'm starting to believe this!!! Where the heck do I find one?

 

I made the mistake of buying one of those!

As others have already said, fit and finish were awful! They even tell you to cut the silicone couplings to fit!

I also found mine hadn't been finished internally (the bore was rough).

I'd recommend the HPS intake along with an uprated dry panel filter.

Cheaper, but proven to be effective when dyno'd.

Cheers.

Any more info on this? I tried to google search Novum with no success.

 

Even after tracking the car I could grasp the intake with my whole hand
