I kno this thing is uber expensive, but is this essentially titianium air inlet tube and g/z tube (together) w/ a pop charger at the end?

From the pic, would it be possible to use other filter options besides the popcharger w/ this setup (like the stillen hfab)--or does this look like it wouldn't work?

it doesn't look like a pop charger. It looks like a blitz one. Don't expect 9 whp, they're lying here, and 1300 bux is unbeleivably expensive for a short ram intake. You won't have this titanium tube which is probably the only expensive part of this setup, so no you couldn't fab this yourself.

 

omg $1300 for an intake. get the injen short ram, z-tube/popcharger, or stillen and call it a day.

 

ouch...**** rape flag flying high....

i'd get the nismo cams (if available for revup motor) over that thing any day...

or a full catback exhaust system...

 

Blitz? I know the price is ridiculous. I just was wondering if the pic looks like another filter could be used in place of the Blitz one (only taking advantage of the titanium pipe and not the actual filter)--like having the stillen hfab or even the stock end filter connected to the bee titanium inlet pipe. Thoughts?

 

looks like it would be possible depending on the diameter of the pipe.

 

Just get a Ztube and Pop Charger and you have nearly the same thing for $1000 less. Run, don't walk away from this crap!

 

If you pay anywhere NEAR $1300 for this, you honestly are the most gullible person on this planet earth.

 

For someone who has the money to burn and wants exclusive parts, why not? It's clear that it's just a pipe, albeit a titanium one. The weight savings isn't significant and the performance is on par with other options. While the titanium itself is expensive, it's not offering anything substantial in this application. So it's a matter of it being exclusive, just like so many other products.

That said, if you're going to spend $1300 on an intake tube, then I'm sure you have the resources to change the filter on the end, if that's what you want to do. And before long, you'll have a $1500 intake tube and filter underhood. But that's the cost of your NISMO headers right there, plus some towards the installation or coating... ...just to keep things in perspective. I found the $75 OEM Z-tube added a nice intake growl to my headers/cats/MREV combo, but I wanted an OEM look.
