TOM'S air intake + exhaust - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

A few different JDM companies are selling that intake... I think Revolutions has been selling it as well.

I like the single exit Ti exhaust, it looks similar to the Fujitsubo one but it's way more expensive. No idea why you would buy it versus the Tomei one though.

No thank you

You gotta pay to play!

FR-S Matt · 04-22-2014, 04:59 PM

Groupbuy? Just like the TRD Supercharger groupbuy I'm waiting for?

Seriously if you have no interest in it just save yourself the time and find another post...theyre not going to change the cost based on your whining. Like previously stated its a dry carbon intake...theres cheaper plastic intakes for sure buy on of them if you so choose. Go look at the Mugen intake for the S2000 its only $300 shy of this...for less product.

BlueDubbinTDI · 04-22-2014, 07:05 PM

An intake that costs more than my whole build...hmmm...

driftartist · 04-22-2014, 07:24 PM

I'd hate for the diamonds to be in-bedded when they should be in the car and not in bed... Now if they were embedded then I'd be down.

spdfreak · 04-22-2014, 08:05 PM

Shit, and I'm sitting here sweating a $50 air filter purchase...

It's a discussion forum. People are discussing. An intake that is 10% the cost of the vehicle is certainly worthy of discussing the price of it..

Nobody is doubting the quality of the materials, it's just that it seems to be beyond overkill for this car.

Making a comment about the cost is more useful than somebody complaining about the people complaining.

I think the only people this intake would ever apply to would be those doing a full N/A build. For the money, most would just go FI or leave it alone. And I think the built N/A motor market is extremely (as in almost nobody at the moment) small.

Fett4Real · 04-22-2014, 08:12 PM

Less then 10% even for the premium with 0 options...or frs with no added anything. And no kidding its for an NA build...think thats pretty well implied. Theres people out there that would buy it I assure you. Shit, people have the TRD big brake kit that costs $5000... people buy special edition 10 series with lights and a special color...if you build it they will buy it...if this gave more then 5hp over any other intake I would be surprised...more then likely its similar in #s to the TRD and other intakes...but people dont always buy things for HP but for status...and again CF doesnt exchange heat, so its functional for sure, and lightweight. And like I also said I wouldnt be surprised if PW JDM makes a copy and sells it for half the cost.

Drift&Drag · 04-22-2014, 08:13 PM

Wouldn't surprise me if someone forks out the cash for these.

Fett4Real · 04-23-2014, 12:42 AM

I wonder how many of these guys would complain if a company came out with ITB's and they were 5 grand like ITB setups for hondas...
