Honestly you shouldnt waste your time on making something that cant get much better from stock as it is.

This has been discussed on countless occasions and has never been ended well.

If you are a crafty person and like fabricating your own stuff then go for it. Just use the right materials. not PVC

I think cobras are cool lol =X u can roll with any exotic car u see on the road and laugh in their face when they wanna do their little gear pull and make some noise under bridges or tunnels.
Then they have the last laugh when they pull into their million dollar home and wipe down their own 1000hp stang they prob use as a daily just to pick up the weeks groceries

I'd rather build a car that can do both and when you are trying to squeeze as much as possible out of an engine, yeah every hp/tq you gain counts.
teh ignorance is stong

RIGHT and with THAT being said it's just the first one...just getting a feel for it...trial and error...i work at a pathology lab lol trial and error is what i deal with on a daily basis. I appreciate your input though...and i understand it has been talked about plenty...no one in my area does this kind of thing though...small town, dumb people (Lake Charles)

I feel for you. I once posted that I modified my intake and got bashed. I like and understand your thinking about a strait intake. Even the Z-tube has a slight bend. You do take your chances here. We all have our opinions. If you're going to post something like that, be prepared for feedback, negative and positive.

Yeah chameleon FTW considering one quart of my paint is 10x the cost of one quart of any color offered on the G35.

Our bashing has nothing to do with you being a girl.

As stated you can find a z-tube for 30-40 in the marketplace.
