Carbon fiber intake / Gruppe M for 1996-1999 F355

I have one in carbon-kevlar (black and yellow composite).

Brand new. Never installed.

$2800. That's what I paid.

We can meet up in Beverly Hills if you wish.

Do you still have the intake?
Do you have any pictures for your intake?
Can you ship it to Hong Kong too?

 

do these change the sound and actually increase performance by any chance?

 

SOLD

 

I like the idea and the concept, but have a hard time with the mismatch of the modern carbon fiber look with the old school look of the 355 engine bay. Really wish these were made of something else, or.....

Is carbon fiber part of the power gain, heat deflection, or is this just the choice for aesthetics? Guessing these could be sanding and painted a matte black to match the rest of the engine bay?

 

Weight reduction and heat protection. Fiberglass would also suffice, but some prefer carbon.

 

So, aluminum is a bad idea? Why did you sell yours?

 

Aluminum transfers heat.

It wasn't mine to begin with. Was selling for a friend and was for a 5.2. I have 2.7 and I do have a GruppeM intake for that.

 

There was a thread with someone talking about a gold reflective heat shield? Anyone remember?

 

Yes. Search for Fchat member “Atul”

 

Ken, does the intake take the place of the factory exhaust shield? Or does it go on top of it?

 

You have to remove the intake shield. The GruppeM kit comes with its own shields.

 

Including the shield around the bypass valve?

 

Yes.
