Magnaflow no doubt. Its exhaust parts sounds better than the other. It runs like a beast and it gives the car the best performance at all speeds.
Best Intake for G8 GT
I have been doing some research for a cold air intake for my G8 GT and I am stuck between these two intakes which one do yal recommend, I have heard nothing bad about either of them.
Right now though I am leaning towards the New Era Intake and the other one is the Roto-Fab Intake.
In the research that I have done the New Era Intake will produce way more horsepower but i am kind of sceptical that those vents on the hood will not get any water in the intake while it is raining.
What do yal think?
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.
Any suggestions or input on that plan? Please let me know
Thanks
Chris

What gas mileage improvements are you getting? -Kip
I have an SLP intake, great piece.
I bought a second one to modify for a project but never got around to it - so it is new in the box if anyone is interested!

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.

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)
just got a g8. new to this forum. anyone have any suggestions on the best intake i could get for it?
They are all nice, but I feel the rotofab is easier to tune for all conditions.
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 have been looking at the vcm-performance OtrCai - looks great and is apparently better performing than others tested.

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.
thanks for all the information guys
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.The VCM is probably the most expensive option out there, but I love mine!

Another VCM OTR fan! On a LSX Caprice I have the Roto-Fab. Both are excellent.
