20whp gain from intake? Seems unrealistic honestly.

That intake costs more than their version of GTR, lolwut.

Also, intake box/duct for 2500 (converted using today's rate)? Okay, sure.

I got curious, so I went to search at the ACTUAL vendor's site.

Doesn't seem like they make a system for any F cars per their catalog, not sure where this suspicious site is getting their info from.

You gotta pay to play. You're not a real baller until you can spend 10x more than the actual cost elsewhere.

Gruppe M was a big name for BMWs and the NSX....but that doesn't look like the legit Gruppe M site, as the site is normally all in Japanese. But at the same token, I wouldn't put it pass them, and they are normally expensive.

I think I posted this same thing a few days ago here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...ke-coming.html

It is legit from GruppeM and it is pricey. More than many of their other intakes. JBoo is correct in that they are a big name for European cars but, not necessarily for their domestic vehicles since they are a Japanese company. The original link above GruppeMdirect.com is a new site they announced on Facebook to distribute their products. I think their original site is a little stale. Also, the posted a number of photos and an announcement of the RCF intake on their Facebook page as well. For those that have an account, here's the link. I understand for those that don't as I resisted for a long time as well. :-)

Does it say why two sites have different prices and spelling errors? The main one seems to be much well-organized than the offshoot one...

Here's one of the posts from the Facebook page regarding the new site. Can't speak for the spelling errors or different pricing.

· GruppeM history dates back to the mid 90’s when Tuner and Visionary, Mamoru Ogose. GruppeM is the brainchild of Ogose-sama who quickly realized air intake technology and profiency of the era hampered overall engine performance. It is during this time he put a team of expert, racers, talented individuals and experts to tackle this limitation and hence helping to unlock the untamed potential that lies in a properly tuned car.

GruppeM has designed and developed performance intake systems mildly tuned vehicle to fire-breathing Wangan crushing, fire-breathing monsters that devastate all who oppose them. GruppeM has worked closely with large-scale race teams like NISMO in their bid for GT500 and 24 hr LeMans gold.

Our intake systems have produced up to a dyno-proven 15 - 30 horsepower (depending on vehicle mods). GruppeM RAM AIR for European vehicles and M’s RAM AIR SYSTEM for Japanese models are available to the public our new direct shopping site www.gruppemdirect.com.
