Default Just Installed My Litespeed Titanium Intake

Hey guys i'm making this post for those who want to see how the Litespeed Titanium Intake looks installed on the 370z. I was initially going to buy the TopSecret Super Induction Intake but thought it was ridiculous to pay $2,250 before shipping and tax. This Intake installs and sits exactly like the Stillen Gen 3 but is much lighter and in my opinion much better looking.

I am really annoying when it comes to buying parts because I want everything to be perfect so I tend to ask a ton of questions before making a purchase but Patrick at Litespeed was extremely helpful and patient throughout the buying-installation process. Here is his contact info if anyone is interested in the intakes.

BEAUTIFUL! I wonder if the sound is distinguishable from a steel/Al intake.

It looks real nice but that better put up some serious HP gains for 900 bucks.

Nice! I agree that Litespeed intakes look better than G3, and no doubt lighter. Do you have a baseline dyno before the install? it would be interesting to see what gains the litespeed gives. Not many people besides you that have this intake!

BTW I think this thread should be in the Intake/Exhaust section

I have yet to Dyno my car, I've been waiting to get all my breather mods installs done. I will be getting my car tuned next month if interested in the end result. I have FI exhaust, Art pipes, and this intake. I still haven't decided if I should also upgrade my headers.

Oops..I wonder if a mod can move it for me.

Because he isn't a vendor I'm going to bash your post, nothing against you personally



They don't look any thinner so they don't seem to be any lighter (Titanium isn't lighter than aluminum)
And gorgeous welds if I was
The pipe is offset.


Also, Patrick isn't a good or honest seller IMO, when Patrick reads this, he can refer to his customer in Hawaii.

I've seen people putting up way more for much less. I'm sure the hp gains are on par if not more then the Gen 3 considering titanium stays cooler. It's also about having something unique under the hood.

I know this is a really old post but are these still being made? I'm looking for intakes and the titanium really caught my eye because it's very unique for a intake.
