J's Racing Air Intake System - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Carbon Fiber and FRP style intake box.

Can't be used with OEM hood without modification. J's Racing hood works without modification, but such a requirement will limit use. Most likely First Molding hood would also work since they product for J's Racing.

Nice looking and integration into OEM vent channel is a nice touch, but made useless by the requirement to mod hood for most.

Due to be release in Japan Nov 20th, 2011.

They should have made this work with the stock hood....they cut their sales numbers substantially by making perspective buyers also need the $$ and desire to replace the hood...not even going to look into pricing this for me.....looks awesome though for sure

Pricing on the J's website, about $1080/$1300 for frp/carbon respectively.

my guess is anyone willing to spend the money for this isn't really worried about the extra money for modifying the stock hood or buying a new one.

i'll wait until someone sells their used j's intake. it's too damn expensive!

Are there any stats. on this product?

That would be the only reason I would even consider an intake so expensive is if it was phenomenal for performance.

I hope it isn't just me, but that intake looks awful.

Seriously, they could have done more for $1k.
