i know this is a couple of months late.......but there is a thread on my350z discussing this mod with more information

Good Find!!!

 

chicagoX........are you still running the bypass mod? any new comments?

the theory behind a cooler plenum/intake is noted and this mod makes sense..........

i would like to couple this mod with the thermal gaskets

 

Shooter: I'm still running the prototype in my car, with 1 Drag Day and 2 days of Road racing since the mod. In addition, I flog my car mercilessly on the street . All is well, and no leaks of any kind.

I still like the idea of thermal gaskets or spacers, but the material I was investigating (phenolic resin) is very expensive to play with

 

why not buy them precut? i think they are about $100 for all 3 gaskets.......
