nice intake with an even nicer price tag!!

If you're willing to pay $1200 for it, go for it! It all comes down to how deep your pockets are.

I'm willing to pay for it. I just need to save a bit first. The way I see it is "you get what you pay for" and I dont want some cheap bolt on like ive had in the past.

i talked to someone at intense power and they said that the intake will rub one of you ac lines causing it to go bad. i think i found it at sp engineering for $850.

You just cut a piece of rubber vacum hose and ziptie it to the small 4 inch part of the AC line to insure it wont rub. You will never see the small piece of rubber. Never had any issues!
EDIT: I may need to sell my intake due to classes. if your interested pm me. I also have extra K and N filters for it!

Yeah i looked at their site. But i dont know how to purchase it for that price because when you go onto their online store its listed for $1200.00

But in their new products its listed as $850.

Let me know how you go with it!

They look cool.

If I was gonna spend that kinda money on an intake, i'd get the Amuse pipe and ARC intake box.

Huge waste of money....but hey if spending an extra 700+ over a different intake and getting the same results is your thing then do it up.

they haven't been $800 in a long time with the way the dollar has been

I've had one on my car now since 2003 IIRC. Nice piece, very nicely made. My only reason for getting it was underhood bling

$1200 is a very steep price for an intake, be it carbon fiber or any other practical material. i highly doubt it has higher gains than the mishimoto intake which i think is carbon kevlar composite, and shares a very similar design.

$1200 can afford you mods that are much more useful/efficient... there are so many other mods that have a much higher $$$/power ratio.

i mean, if anyone on here wants a GruppeM intake, i lay down cf and charge $1100 for any sort of carbon fiber intake you want... i take cash/credit/paypal.
