Default Carbon Fiber Intake?
So I found this thread for a search, unfortunately, I couldn't actually find it on JapanParts.com, and the link included in the thread didn't work anyways.

My question is, does anybody know where I can pick up a Carbon Fiber intake?
Not a seperate pipe system or anything, it looks pretty close to OEM one. I recently saw one of these on one of Mine's GT-R's. And it looked PIMP.

Are you talking about Carbon fiber ram air arm?
If so, Varis and Prova make one.
Both going to cost a pretty penny of course.
PM me if you are interested.

Gruppe-M



some of the nicest carbon fiber parts you will ever find (but pricey). I have their intake on my Z...it's insanely nice

HKS Kansai has a really nice one too, I just have to find a nice pic (one of our customers has one, I just can't find the pics at the moment)

He uses Kansai box + prova intake arm.
Major $$

Kansai box does not include the ram air arm.

BIG bucks... JDMDave's intake setup costs over a grand

The one in Z1's picture is the Gruppe M's intake box.

I did a search because I'd forgotten about Gruppe M intakes for a while (I remember they were all the rage with BMW E46 M3 guys). Anyone actually gotten one of them? I've never seen a post of an STi guy that had one.

Is there any benefit of the carbon fiber intake setup vs. OEM?

Does anyone make the grill intake scoop shown on this pic?

I would be interested in that!
