ztube- Cone or Rectangle ?
I was looking at DIY ztube install and i noticed on this DIY thread on 6mt.
http://www.6mt.net/mod-g35-350z-intake.php
he left the stock airbox/filter in ?
on others i have seen, guys take it out and just install the ztube with a new cone shapped filter.
what would be better ?
Stock airbox/rectangle filter
or
Ztube and after market cone filter ?

IS THAT WTF a POP CHARGER IS WTF !?!?!? i thougth it was like some totally differnt part inside the tube , so more gains with stock box, then why dont we get the same gains as the stock tube ?

if you replace your intake you are pretty much bound to lose power nomatter what change you do. we make power with teh stock tube, the ztube just removes the resonators on the stock tube making a meaner growl under WOT (wide open throttle).. so if you want to keep it quiet and powerful dont change a thing.. amsoil dryflow filters have greater air flow than the stock one though

I installed the z-tube w/ JWT pop charger in mine ($170). I installed the z-tube with normal air box in my friend's G ($30 - He bought it from a 350z). Both are 04' and truthfully I don't really see much or any difference in power. The only thing is JWT pop charger is louder (noticeable) and makes a cool hissing sound when driving. Kinda sounds like a turbo sucking in w/o the blow off valve. Stock box is still great, because it still shielded from the engine heat. Win win situation. : )

^ i would personally either stay stock airbox or stillen. The JWT popcharger has a very poor heatshield and all CAI besides the stillen seem to lose power. I am running the AEM cold air intake and am too lazy to swap back the stock one. It sounds cool, but I don't think I gain any power, and probably lose a couple

Well i thougth about it and im going with Ztube intake with the Stocker airbox, is that a good combo, bc itll shield from the heat , at little, ill invest into a CAI later , but cant i do this ,. take out my Stock tube on the G , cut off the resinators and seal them up, just making a tube ?
