Joe-z created a prototype for a RCF and test fitted it. Joe is focusing on the production of his RCF Joez exhaust, then we should start seeing the Joe-z intakes being released.

this car is screaming for a CF intake.

Anything out there or is the rainbow titanium one the only choice?

Is this applicable in all cases?

Also, is there a thread that looked at all the intakes on the market for the IS-F and compares them for performance?

RCF500 & mine should be in this week, this is the one we ordered. If any extra hp comes out of it, i wouldn't expect no more than 4-6 if that. But, i got mine Strictly for Cosmetics cause i think it looks Awesome with the Blue Mica & the with Blue already under the Hood & it weighs about as much as a Feather. This is a Pic of a Pic so not good Quality but you get the idea

Going off of what @johnnyreb posted. We had a couple of our clients install the LEMS titanium intake onto their RC-F's and they reported some good feedback. They said that it definitely provides a more deep throaty engine sounds as it should with an aftermarket intake. They also felt a bump in engine responsiveness and a slight boost in engine pickup around 3500 RPM. Keep in mind they installed both the LEM pipe along with the Blitz aftermarket intake filter. Results may vary between person to person but so far we've had some pretty positive feedback. Hope this helps!

Folks, a related question: Does anybody know what are the 2 ports on the intake pointing up, right before the throttle body? Never seen that before. Just curious. Thanks.
