I am interested in adding an intake to my car. I like the cold air variety for obvious reasons. The Injen and Fujita are out due to no air box. I like the K&N but it is expensive.

Does the Joe Z http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2804 do anything. Add a low restriction filter and cut a few holes in the air box and it flows as good or better than the competition??? Anyone tried this with results please let me know. Alternatives appreciated too.

I will be adding some kind of exhaust in the future.

Has anybody tryed the $399 body kit on the same site as Joe Z?

 

The Joe Z adds as much (or more) hp as any other intake.

That said, you're still looking at 5 hp tops. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something (probably a more expensive intake).

 

joe z and blitz/hks/tom's air filter. best setup.

 

Has anyone tried the K&N? Sounds pretty good to me. http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2804 Big bucks though...Twice the money = twice the HP....

 

For great sound and decent gain F-Sport Intake and Exhaust! Hehe i'm not biased..... lol

Remember what I just said (and you just quoted) about anyone who claims more than 5 hp is selling something?

I bet you're getting that "twice the HP" claim from the people selling them, right?

 

You can order just the upper half of the f-sport intake like me, net all teh hp but not much sound increase.

 

That would be the same as JoeZ then since the F-Sport uses the stock top to the airbox?

I ended up with the K&N Typhoon CAI for $200 from Ebay.
