I have the G tube and I think it fits better. The Gs have this slight double curve that helps it avoid touching the A/C lines. Some ppl have experienced rubbing on these lines with the Z tube and over time could develop a puncture.

Here's my pics I posted a while back.

i've never seen a carbon fiber g-tube O.o

note: g-tube usually implies the stock intake tube design.

i'm pretty sure the a/c line doesn't touch the ztube.. its just the popcharger rubs on the a/c line, so you can zip tie the filter away from the line

Z Tube FTW. I believe the G Tube has a baffle and is quieter and restricts air flow.

Nah, the g-tube he it talking about is just a bent z-tube really. A z-tube made to fit the G better.
