the stock g tube has a sound baffler whereas the z tube does not.

purely a sound mod by itself. but normally paired up with either the k&n/amsoil air filter, jwt popcharger, or stillen airbox

you can buy a new oem z tube for about 70 bucks or a stillen one for about 60 bucks (doesnt matter which you get..it's just a tube)

OE Intake Tube has a resonator on it... It restricts some air flow by keeping the engine room quieter...

The Z-Tube is a straight tube with no resonator... This allows for a more open flow of the intake system... Without the resonator you get a "ROARING" sound from the engine room especially above 4000 RPM... It is noticable at lower RPM's but not that much...

The cheapest way to get a Z-Tube is from a Z-Owner who put on an aftermarket intake...

$80.00 will get you a brand new one though plus shipping...

We have them instock too!
