This took you 2.5 hours to install?

These intakes look great though.

 

I am kinda digging this intake. Just cause it looks different. Hmm choices choices lol.

 

where did you purchase from??

 

the r2c group buy that was on here a while ago.

 

Thanks for the write up and pics. I am intrigued by the performance of the filter so I ordered the front half yesterday. Will be here in a few days. I tried the JWT pop this summer and hated it so we'll see how this turns out.

I got mine from Marinelli Motorsports, a new vendor here, and I can't say enough good things about his prices and service. Thanks again JR!!

 

Be prepared for tight fitment. - couldn't get the supporting bracket connected. Had to make it fit some where else.

But overall I love this intake. At first it sounds sofy when reving and break in period. Then when ecu adapts it just roars. I love it and it actually made my exhaust sound slightly deeper.

I aslo have the have kit, along with Ztube.

I sold my other R2C intake to a Z guy and he just loved it as well. Brought a smile to his face. Fitment issue was also tight on the Z.

I give this intake a 10 out of 10. Who cares about fitment when the heatshield has no heat soak and filter is enormous.

 

best way to save your AC line is by taking silicone intake tubing and making a 1 slice in it long ways (like a wire loom is) and then stretching it over the ac line, since the silicone is resillient (sp?) it will just stay wrapped around the AC line, thats how ive had mine for over a year with ZERO issues

 

I dont have any AC line issues on mine, cause I reused my ZTube. For others some type of rubber or protector stated above works well.

 

i was having very slight rubbing issues with my z-tube and JWT pop, i just didnt want to take a chance, the 2 dollar piece of silicone tube i used was worth a piece of mind =]

 

Use your search and find the group buy, PM him and he will get back with oyu very fast. I just found out about last night and pm'd him and he got back to me last night. He is still doing the group buy thing, pm him so I can get into the group buy thing.

 

any gains on the intake??

 

I feel like I did get gains. But then again, I do not have any dyno proof. You really can't go by someones but dyno.

 

man that intake does not look cool at all

 

It sure does sound good. Also the filter is the best in the business. There is no re-oiling, which K&N has been proven to leave oil deposits in the throttle body. This is a dry filter, I have cleaned it countless times and it looks like new every time. I usually vacuum & blow out the filter 2 times a month. Also you can totally hear the difference.

 

^wat do u hear? cus i have a nismo cai and honestly dont hear anything. no traditional intake sound jus a "whistle". i was kinda shocked but ive learned to live with it cus when i listen to other intake youtube clips they dont sound very loud either on these cars for some reason.. also oil getting into throttle body is user error oiling too much. people dont kno how to read instructions and blame it on k&n
