wow k&N made an intake for my car it wont be released until another 3 months more but they dynoed it stock and then also with the intake its really sick. NO COMPUTERS NEEDED IT ADDS 30 HP TO THE WHEEL SHOWS ON DYNO ITS SICK IM TELLING YOU, YOU FEEL A HUGE DIFFRENCE JUST WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT

lol.....right

heres the words of the bottom u can read this much more clear

Is it me or do the initial torque reading seem unusually low?

Ok let me explain to you all the reason why i got my intake way before they are even coming out with it is because my car was a test mule and yes it is true it gained 30 hp and 25 pounds of torque its really true im not lying i felt a huge difference. i took it to the track on thursday and i usually run an 8th of a mile 8.7sec on an 8th of a mile but this time i ran 8.3 this time its really fast im telling you and it sounds sick like a ferrari f1 i just got pulled over the other day because of my intake but i tell you what hold out for the k and n intake its well worth it the way they made it the tubing is not metal its like carbon fiber so its not a heat soaker and they did a huge reasearch on how to improve it if you really wanted to find out just hold out for it till they come out with it im telling you its well worth it its insane. i said the same its insane because usually intakes dont bring that much hp out of an intake but when i felt it and saw the dyno sheet and taken it to the track it proved to be real. if there is anything u guys needed to know i can answer your questions im trying to put it on youtube havent had the chance yet just hold out for it. i had the srt intake and it really wasnt as great. it felt like the car wasnt tuned right. i had that computer in my car also put in i spliced through my computer wire, and it was a mistake i should have never taken just hold out for it trust me on this

i called them k and n about the intakes and they told me they had nothing yet for that vehicle they said they are looking for some one with the car to test it on so i said if they were willing to give me a free intake i was willing to give me car in so they said thats what they normally do so i left it there as a test mule

^^Lowrider, from the pics, it would get rid of the two stage intake and replace it with a one stage, taking away the roar at 3600RPM's. That's just what I can tell from the picture, could be wrong

The weird part is even K&N replied in an email that they didn't have anything for the F, nor is there any mention on their website of a filter, let alone an intake system. This looks like the same setup SRT went with (claimed +20rwhp and +20ft/lb of torque). Interesting stuff none the less, I'll keep waiting to see if K&N releases it. I would think they would have put some mention of it on their site or when asked by Dean said yea, we have an intake but I could be wrong, you never know nowadays

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone!

it looks very similar but developed a lot better than srt plus a computer is not needed its only an intake but by the way im not here to sell the products in anyway. Also im not suppose to release any information to any of you but i decided to out of good deed. So be nice and except what i tell you cause thats about it thanks to all of you who understand me what im trying to do for you guys

While I agree the numbers originally quoted look questionable, I found this on the K&N website:

"Our systems are built for horsepower. In fact on the 2003 Ford Mustang SVT® we get an impressive 30 horsepower"

So while we all might initially question a quoted "30 hp gain" for our beloved IS-F's, or would be much more willing to accept a more normal 8-12 hp gain, we usually see for replacement air filters or CAI(cold air induction) units for other cars, I am not so sure that K&N could NOT come up with something interesting for our cars. Though it is interesting to note that a previous attempt to build a CAI system for our IS-F's by another noted CAI builder only yielded a 1 hp gain???

So at this point all we can do is to wait for K&N to respond to our numerous inquiries or to reveal their product in some other way via their own marketing department. And in the mean time we can all hope that what we've read and see here is indeed a product that will perform as represented and that we all can get buy, and SOON !!!!

By the way Jwain, I live in Los Angeles and would be willing to drive to YOU to see what K&N has done. I run my IS-F with both intakes open at all times but can't say that I feel any HP gains, though I do feel a slight decrease in the throttle response time so that's why I continue to run with both open all the time. So to see what K&N has installed and how they are getting what's claimed by just adding a different air filter and a smooth metal pipe in place of our plastic pipe would be most interesting to me.... OR did they really do more then we can see from the pictures?

ok check this out their intakes arent metal its like a diffrent form of metal if you want u can email me and i can meet up with u some where so if u wanted to check it out then maybe you can convince this guy who keeps talking crap about the intake that im trying to help him out with and let him know whats going on rather than him giving me crap about it, tell him about how good it works thats fine i can meet u some where for this email me at [email protected]

ive never heard of a drop in filter giveing 30whp , because they dont exist.

its not a drop in filter its a whole intake that was replaced by stock intake and they dynoed it
