Injen will have an intake shortly for the GT. My car is down at Injen right now. They are using it to build the intake off of. They said it will be somewhat like the one they are building for the new Camaro's. Adrian emailed me the other day and said my car was doing about 302 HP at the rear tires. He did not tell me what the car did stock. I am picking the car up Monday afternoon the 28th. I will get the dyno print outs then and post them up and let you guys know what I think. We have installed a few of the Injen intakes on Honda and they do pretty well.
 
I'm gunna go afe with pro dry filter. I can get it for 228 w/ free shipping on autoanything.com with coupon 15retail. Once it gets here I am going to pandp tb too. Then the next thing.is hfc's and lt's. That's about as far as im gunna take my gt. (already have slp loudmouth axle back)
 
I have been looking at the vcm-performance OtrCai - looks great and is apparently better performing than others tested.
There is a thread on it here.
The VCM is probably the most expensive option out there, but I love mine! Even without the corresponding tune (yet) I saw a 2 tenths improvement in ET in my M6 GXP. The quality, fit, and finess are top notch, and installation wasn't too tough.
 
I just bought on '08 G8 GT two days away. It has 64,000 mi. I love it and I am also trying to choose an intake for it. I was at a ford place and saw the GT500 pony. they had the hood raised on it and the intake on it looked like the roto style. I'm not sure yet but I am leaning towards getting the same (Roto) as it looks good under the hood and from what I have read it performs too. but the first thing i want to get done is a dyno test so I can see it there is a real gain or not. I dont know the hp of my car right now but i can say it will fly. very fun car. looking forward to the upgrades.

Do you research....... Other performance shops in Australia all declare the VCM intake for the G8 / VE from JHP is the best power & Dyno improvement with a perfect fit.

Also I know that there is the Magnaflow exhaust system out and in my view it is extremely over priced. I was thinking of make the G8 GT exhaust system into a X-Pipe with costum tubing and changing the mufflers to Twister Performance Exhaust Mufflers and keep the stock tips and everything else to keep it as a sleeper.
