K&N kit installed on the coupe

The K&N Typhoon intake I bought for the 07x has now been installed on the coupe. Driver's side was 100% compatible, even fit better than on the 3.5 due to a different breather on the 3.7's DS bank vs. the 3.5. The passenger side required a slight mod to the breather/helmholtz resonator. (I had to trim the schnozzle a bit - no going back without a new one...)

Got it all done in 45 minutes this time.

Driving impression: for some reason, it's a lot quieter on the 3.7 than it was on the 3.5 - far less 'boomy' at WOT and high RPMs. Hmmm, wonder why? That said, the sound is verrrrry nice.




Driver's side:


Passenger's side:

That looks really good and it's nice you can transfer some of your sedan mods to the G37 coupe

You can't polish a turd.

Plastic dress-up cover FTW!!

You most certainly can't.

You could always re engineer the turd though.

Hey, the plenum may be fugly, but it works... As long as I can cover it and keep the bonnet closed, I'm golden.

Can one get a B.S. in Turd Engineering?
