Intake alone do anything?
Looking to do my next Mod. Thinking F-Sport Intake. Just did the F-Sport Wheels so can't justify exhaust yet. Anybody "just" do the intake? Make any difference or not worth doing until you do the exhaust too?

As far as performance goes, there's not much we can do. Especially for us 350 awd'ers. All we really have is intake and exhaust.
I went the joez route with a custom cut out. Love the sound. Def made a difference there!

The sound is pretty noticeable when you get to around 4000RPM. When I had just the intake, I would purposely shift late just so I can hear the intake haha.

Intake alone should give you about 5 HP and it's the most cost effective performance mod. F-Sport Intake will cost you close to $500 MSRP
Exhaust will give you about 2 HP and it will cost you $1,470.00 MSRP.
I would get the intake first since it's the best bang for the buck in terms of performance. BUT, with 5 extra HP, it's not going to help much. In fact, you won't feel big difference in terms of speed.
As other said, it's more of a cosmetic/sound mod...
Someone posted a dyno result in import tuner magazine. So I won't take any credit for it...
