HAHA OH MY GOD!!! is this guy for real?!!?!! he spent way more then he wanted.and then he advertises a promo card.and want to then cut up everything he has spent to upgrade his car.


aside from the from the flame here's my advise do not do anything with it.just put on what you just bought and call it a day.there is no reason to do all of that.

so ima jus add the cai section to the ztube so i dont have heat soak. im aware of the whole intake mod so please dont lecture me about its performance on the g35 ive done my research. im jus doing it for the sound mostly and as long as performance aint negatively affected much im happy. plus i have a plenum spacer so it should help.

jus miss the intake sound and kinda dont like the NA sound where the engine sounds like its going to explode when i WOT lol kno wat i mean? some people like that sound tho but i dont.

btw the intake is pretty much not costing me much at all because of the discover card promo i posted in the other thread lol heres the link if anyones interested

maybe u should go look at how a nismo cai is installed and compare that to a stock intake with a ztube. there isnt any fabricating. its pretty much the exact same setup except 1 has a airbox added to the maf and the other is a cai added to the maf. ill jus be removing the stock air box and adding the cai part of the nismo intake.
