if removing the power duct has heat concerns for some of you, you can use a foam weather stripping tape and outline the edge of the opening so that it creates a seal against the hood. I had to double up some to get the desired height but it makes a very good seal as you can tell by the impressions on the foam.

What's the fun of having any car if you can't mess around with it??

the install was cake... mounting the cone to the intake tube and wat not
was a piece of cake, but getting those damn weather strips on the heat
shield is a pita.

the labor to assemble the thing is done by the consumer. lol
will run it tomorrow morning for a test drive.
in all honestly, i don't foresee much performance benefits from these
filters, but im sure the sound will be nice and deep.

You need to do some search in this furum before pull out a stupid *** mod like this. The power duct & the seal contacting the hood are part of the factory
Ram air duct, not a greta one but it does collect fresh air at speed. Removing it without getting a larger surface filter would only reduce power & gain some ricer sound.

+1 on that weatherstrip..i found out that you just have to put it on the oem plastic air duct...then take it off and put it on the heat shield...by that time the moulding is softer...

I've felt no loss of HP with my set-up, temps are running a few degrees higher, but that is about it. Sound is not ricer at all (for those who say otherwise). If anything it makes the stock sedan exhaust sound more 350Z like.
