Where did you purchase it by chance if you don’t mind me asking?Armaspeed intake (woven carbon fiber option)
1. Initial impression
- fast shipping
- came with a couple goodies including a carabiner & vinyl decal
- packaging, something I'm a sucker for, was top notch!
- quality of the carbon fiber appears to be very nice, with weaves being consistent & not wavy
- pictured is the intake box lid after Brillianize ---> Ceramic coat x2 ---> Hydrocharge ~24 hrs. later
- I was pleased to find that the carbon fiber intake tube did not have any fiber glass residue from the manufacturing process, something I've seen even in the higher-end 3.0 intakes...
2. Concluding impression
- Sounds absolutely ridiculous!
- this intake will let you hear every single turbo noise your heart can possibly desire
- relatively easy to control & pussy-foot when the boys in blue are lurking (Californian problems)
- butt-dyno was, unsurprisingly, unimpressive, though I feel the car carries slightly better during highway pulls
- best part is I got a frunk now! ?
3. Installation tips
- rather than unplugging the temp sensor probe & removing the housing, I removed the unit as a whole, then reinstalled to the Armaspeed intake tube
- 7mm nut driver is a must for the provided hose clamps
- to the three other people who own a 2022 GR Supra 2.0 & plan on modifying it ---> I used instructions from aFe's Takeda intake for the removal process (not explained in Armaspeed's instructions)
- I don't know if the 2022 2.0 model is different, but I ended up having to reuse the OEM intake tube (SEE BELOW)
- in order to get to this point, you must first separate the intake tube (circled in red) from the intake resonator box/accordion; this requires breaking & removing the Oetiker clamp holding the two together -- MUST BE DONE WHILE ENTIRE STOCK INTAKE SYSTEM IS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE
- I reused the OEM C-clamp to fix the intake tube to the turbo inlet
If you have 2.0 and have any questions regarding the installation or anything at all, do not hesitate to direct message me on here

Great B48 build! I had a ton of fun with mine ;b It's a solid platform and thrilling through the twisties. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses

Traitor! J/K. A small piece of me wishes I had the 3.0, but the 2.0 is fast enough to still get me in plenty of trouble.Great B48 build! I had a ton of fun with mine ;b It's a solid platform and thrilling through the twisties. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses
