Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

Im too lazy to explain but if you do a search you will see dozens of threads regaurding the tube. I personally got the tube for the sound. People have said you get a 5hp gain but at 5hp gain i doubt you would feel any gain during your drive. Lots of people have gotten it and they gave their highest rating.... maybe one of the most popular mod so far

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

A search will turn up a picture comparison, but the Z tube is a nice smooth, straight-through design. The G35 tube has an ugly resonator in the middle of it to make things a little quieter. This can only hurt flow.

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

Having the Z-tube reduces turbulence in the inlet thereby smoothing the inlet charge. Someone posted a dyno recently showing a 5 hp, 4 ft lbs increase. This along with a nice deep tone to the breathing and exhaust.
An excellent mod that's cheap.

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

yes.. if you get any CAI, don't bother with the z-tube.. get the z pipe only if you're gonna stay with the stock intake or the stillen..

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

forgot to add this too.. u don't have to pay 70+ for the z-tube.. like i've said in the billions of posts about the z pipe, jus try posting on the Private Classifieds on the My350Z.com site.. there are plenty of 350 drivers out there who have upgraded to injen, etc. and have no use for the pipe.. i've seen a perfectly fine used one sell for 40-50 shipped..

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

not that I expected it to be less but the local dealer quoted me 102.00. The 70.00 is still a deal in comparison.

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

As far as I know some Z owners in my350Z.com were asking for 80+ bucks for their used tubes...

I guess it's a supply vs. demand thing...

So for now... 70 bucks is actually a pretty good deal for a new one.

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

is the z tube easily to install, how long does it take, just making sure i dont waste money on this thing only to find out that when i purchase a cold air intake like stillen or injen that i wont be able to use the z tube anymore.

for those of you who have it installed on a stock g35c, does it make a difference in terms of sound and hp?

You should NOT get this if you are planning on getting a intake other than the stillen cold air box. This is just the stock pipe from the 350Z and if you get an aftermarket full cold air intake like the injen or nismo, then this z tube will be replaced by the other intake.

Re: Found site for cheap Z tube

Hey all!

So far, in the past week since i have put up the Z-Tube on our site we have sold out and have caused back order status on all Z-Tubes in the US! It is normally stocked in dealers as a Crash Replacement Item so not many are made.

Currently we are out of stock but are expecting another 16 in by the end of this week / mid next week. So far 10 are spoken for.

If you want to reserve one buy one on our web site http://www.performancenissanparts.com and you will be contacted before your credit card is charged.

I am glad you are all getting alot out of this mod! We are selling them at 30% of list price.

Let me know if any of you have any other questions about this item or any others.

NISMO Cai does NOT require a Z tube, it replaces all of the tubing.

We also have JWT Pop Chargers.

Other Z products that fit your GC's are NISMO HEADERS, NISMO EXHAUST, NISMO FLYWHEEL, JWT FLYWHEEL,

All available on our web site.
