Good research suprajones. There are some third party dyno numbers from other members you should check out on CL if you haven't already :) I would do your research on the SRT and single stage intake products :cool:

The SRT intake also comes with the ECU mod that adjusts air to fuel ratio. Anyone knows how the ECU mod is installed? is it just plug and play and where the ports are? also, is the JOE Z intake similar to the SRT one only without the ECU mod?? Im confused as i'm hearing good things about JOE Z and less good things about SRT
I would do a search with how the SRT ECU works, I'm sure it is on here or CL.

The Joe Z intake is not similar to the SRT. The SRT intake removes the entire stock air intake box (filter, etc.) as well as the stock tube. This results in the F having a single stage intake instead of the stock dual stage intake. The Joe Z is an intake tube with no ECU changes that keeps the stock dual intake box and only replaces the muffled stock tube.

Here is a link to SRT's website to help you:

Thanks Big Mike... This therefore means that if I was to do the DIY intake mod which is on another thread, and install a Joe Z intake, it would do the same job excpet for the ECU mod the SRT intake has"?
If you do the DIY stock intake mod and add the Joe Z pipe, it is still not the same as adding the SRT intake.

The SRT intake completely removes the tube and stock intake box. You have to do the ECU changes as well to make the SRT intake works well with the engine as the F is designed for a dual stage and not a single stage intake setup. If you look at the pictures in the above link to the SRT website and then go out and look at the stock intake in your F, there is quite a difference. The SRT has a long single tube connected to an open head filter surrounded by a heat shield. The stock intake has a shorter tube connected to a box that has an air flap that opens for the second intake.

The DIY intake mod simply unplugs an air hose and forces the car to open the secondary intake earlier in the RPM band then it is supposed to (2300 or so compared with 3600). If you had the Joe Z pipe and do the DIY intake mod, you still have a dual stage intake in the F, your just forcing it to kick in earlier compared with a complete single stage intake with an open filter.

Wow, that much horsepower just from an intake?

I will reserve my judgment until I see photos and dyno sheets :D

^That is very interesting news suprajones, thanks for reaching out to them. It's going to be interesting to see if they come out with anything for the F and if they do, what type of setup it is

^Haven't seen anything number wise released for either the exhaust or intake yet.
