are these decent and can they cause damage to the car. i doubt they help performance but is it possible for teh m to make it worse

 

i have an automatic by the way

 

I wouldn't do it.

 

y not wat harm can they do

 

well usually if something is cheap its made of a cheap product which means it could be poor quality. I wouldent risk it breaking and your motor sucking in all kinds of junk.

 

Yeah, and those little resistors they sell on ebay guarantee +20HP too. You can afford a $40K car and can't be willing to save ~$70 for a z-tube. And it's not like it looks that "cool" anyways.

 

get a polished Ztube and a PC.

 

whats a pc

 

oh pop charger ya i guess but i doubt this product can cause harm it still has a good filter. oh ya and how about those staderd slide in high flow air filters u replace your stock ones with , arte those any good

 

lets see you own a g35 and can't afford a real intake? wtf lol I'm not trying to be an a*shole but um thats ghetto.

 

i own a g35 and spend so much in to the body but i floor my car all the time and all the name brand intakes make a really lound noise over 4500 rpm this generic one stays as quite as the stock one and i hate the noice the realk intakes make so i figured id get something that looks cool. i jsut wanted to know if it can cause harm to my ride

 

it could cause harm. It wont if nothing breaks or anything, but something could break because its made of cheap materials. It will make a loud sound. The thing that keeps it quiet is the air muffler.

 

anyone used these yet

 

I haven't used one but....you spend 30 for the product, another 25-30 for shipping, that's 60. IMO...I would save another 10-20 bucks and get a z-tube. The ztube is something tried and proven to work, and not harm the car. The infiniti dealer even sells the z-tube. If money is that tight. You can buy the z-tube now and use it with your stock setup. Save some money and buy a pop charger (or a cone K&N filter) and install it.

Plus I wouldn't be soo worried about breaking something on my car. I would first be worried about fittment. There are already problems with the Injen and other CAI with rubbing on the air conditioner tube. These prob will be worse. Second, there have been some reports (not sure if they are true) of the Injen CAI causing the car to shut off. Now, not to say this intake will, but Injen is a big company that spends lots of money to make sure lawsuits don't happen. In reality, this company is prob some taiwan company that has a generic template and makes intakes.

To each his own...but be careful what you put in your car.

This guy is trying to sell stuff. Check out the name.

If not, why be so cheap with the G. If you want something that looks nice, get the CF Z Tube.
