That "louder deeper sound" may sound ricey to some

 

The best HP gain intake you are goin to get is Joe-Z with stock box PERIOD. Anything out of that even the F-sport box is only allowing a high intake of engine bay heat.

 

Loud/deep sounding intakes = not rice

Loud high pitched lawn mower sounding fart cannons = rice

 

Sounds good.

 

Great Example!

 

Agreed. Thanks for the post & Vid

 

You should update the original post with a note that says you also have an F-Sport exhaust. The difference from stock intake + stock exhaust to F-Sport intake + stock exhaust is dramatic. I remember last year when I put my intake in RPM > 3500 sounded amazing! When I installed the F-Sport exhaust 6 months later I wondered where the growl went I do love the combo (F-sport exhaust + intake) it just sounds mean at WOT but it is hard to just isolate the intake noise.

 

Sound great! Have you considered getting a blend mount for your radar detector?

 

i think i might get both F Sport exhausts and intakes

 

this is so true

loud =/= rice

depends on tone and pitch

deep-toned low growl vs high-pitched raspy screech
lexus vs civic

 

that's because the average joe drives camry or stock civic

if everybody drove g37 then nobody can hear our cars haha

 

not sure about rx8 but my frnd has k&n sri on his lancer and is dam loud compared to mine on the 2is so i think application is a big factor too

honestly i like it though...below 3000rpm it's a refined luxury sport sedan....then when it hit 3000 the monster rips out (or..at least the sound haha)
so when i'm tired i just drove slow and the car is quiet...when i'm bored i rip it and it sounds amazing

 

awesome video

 

I have the F-Sport intake on my IS 250 and LOVE it. Fantastic noise, yet not too much. Sound kicks in around 4000 RPM and is mostly a low growl/grumble

 

I just had an F-sport intake installed on my IS250, will upload a video soon.
