I installed an Injen intake on my uncles 2012 V6 Camaro and I was extremely impressed with the very high quality craftsmanship. It was the first Injen product I've ever worked with so it was a really good first impression. The black coating is nice. That's what I would do for my BRZ.

I'm definitely not surprised that black won out, based upon comments in other threads, but I was a bit surprised by the overwhelming majority it garnered.

Looking forward to posting some pics of the install this week.

Yea I would really like to see some dynos and videos. The marketplace is certainly becoming more crowded and glad to see Injen on board. Good luck and cant wait to see more

Edited the second post with some dyno info on their prototype intake.

The pulls were done in approximately 100 degree heat, so it's probably not ideal.

So, I just found out I had misunderstood the email I got. The dyno numbers in the second post are for the intake, only.

I just received a couple pictures of the intake, one with a polished tube and one with a powdercoated black offering. I put them both in the first post of this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11118

I like the polished the best, I think. The contrast with the heat shield and cover really looks good.

yea, but look at the big loss of torque in the dip. 4th gear pull looks better, but all that to gain a few ponies in the last 500 rpm's? Not sure im sold on an intake for this car yet. I have to see it with some tuning. BUT, this product looks great. I think they did a great job!
