Looking to change things up a bit...

Alright so heres the deal, I currently have the Fast Intentions CBE and theres an 80% chance Im getting the fast intentions HFCs. I want to get an intake that isn't a pain to install i looking into the cold airs and almost all of them have pros and cons. The biggest thing i have agains Cold airs is that i may need to pull them out and put the stocks in at any moment so short rams are probably my best bet. Recently i discovered the R2C AirMaxx (not sure on the name don't quote me) Any opinions honest pros cons?

After i do add the HFC's is a tune necessary?? I might want to through in that my car is a lease...

Oh and also wanted to ask should i tune it when i get HFCs (if i do it at all) or wait for the intakes to come in.

Before anybody starts flaming me saying "search the form".. I just wanted to say i did and read most of them, they had a lot of mixed reviews and i'm looking to get some more definitive ones for my situation.

Thanks in advance

How loud is your FI exhaust? I am putting mine on next week.

All short ram intakes are fairly easy to install/remove, since you don't need to remove the bumper/grille. Alot of people here have R2C intake and like them. Their filter doesn't require oiling and they look very nice. I think that's your best bet.

The FI exhaust isn't as loud as i would have wanted it to be but it definitely has a nice purr to it. On a load (driving from stop) at 2k rpms it sounds awesome till you hit about 3.5, 4, when the engine over powers the exhaust. Overall it makes the sedan sound louder and gives the exhaust a nicely refined purr which it lacks with the stock exhaust.

Don't get me wrong its plenty loud i just expected to to be as loud as my boys carbon fiber FI exhaust on his coupe and its not even close. My exhaust is probably just a bit louder then the stock coupes. I'm going to order the FI HFC's on monday I'll let you know how they sound with that on in about 2 weeks.

COme on people no ideas or comments!??

Well the tune will help you get the most out of your mods....

Why are you worried about a quick removal of the intakes?
