Is this a Z Tube?

I recently bought a Z-tube off ebay and just received it in the mail last night and as I took it out the box.. I noticed how small and short it looked. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find anyone that has a Z tube that looks like this one. The seller said this was an original OEM 350z intake. Idk you guys be the judge.



and this is the photo from the ebay page

Long shot but could it be off the first year the 350z came out.

The tube you have is from an '07-07 350Z. The part commonly regarded as a "Z tube" is the same part DBML posted. If your G is '03-05, you need to get the part DBML posted. I have no idea if they part you bought will work...

Didn't even try to put it on.. but held it over the intake area and lined it up to where the throttle body is.. the tube isn't long enough to reach the air box
