New intake option?
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.

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.

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.
