i bought cheapo generic stuff like this for my previous car - a maxima. don't think i could do it to my G. my thought is - i've got a really nice car...the least i can do is buy name brand!

just my .02¢...to each his own i guess.

+1, you paid big bucks for a G. Then pay big bucks for aftermarket parts!
If you want to ghetto it just get a civic.

Hey Ma, look what I found at the hardware store....haha

Sorry this tube looks like hardware store quality and like a few other member
mentioned you'll have to deal with the heat soak "thing!" You need the
incoming air to be as cool as possible, metal z tubes aren't a good choice.

I have to agree with the majority here. On my last car I bought no name parts off of ebay and stuff like that. It wasn't the greatest, some parts broke..ect.

If you got your self a nice G, buy the good stuff. You get what you paid for in most cases, If you can't afford it hold off until you can or leave it stock, its a nice car as it is. I am going to be real careful in modding my G.

it's metal = it's gonna suck in hot air in ur block... BAD idea.. go with plastic bro. maybe cf wrapped plastic if u want. turbo setups have metal piping but they have HUGE *** intercoolers.

Well aside fromt he heat soak comments, which really having a metal z-tube doesn't affect heat soak enough for you to feel any difference as your upper plenum is way hotter than the air that's comming in your intake thus your intake temp will basically be the same, as was tested by another member, it's ugly as fvck, please don't get it, get the UT polished or chrome z-tube, at least get a nice one if you want a metal tube.
