Add a drop-in K&N filter for better flow too...

the air boxes are different. The Z airbox will not fit the G and the G empoys a scoop that feeds air into the airbox, that the Z does not. Put on the Z tube, keep the stock airbox and get a KN/nismo drop in filter.

you wouldnt hear this unless you were boosted. (turbo, etc.)

it's the sound of air being released from the blow-off valve when the throttle plate closes.

The Stillen cone filter is close end - pop charger is open - gives the whistle, phhssshhh, described many different ways..

anyone in OC that wants an OEM Z tube, PM me... I have one still in OEM bag - have two because I thermal coated the one on my car... long story (in another thread).

cost 100 sell 50 - it's new, have receipt (if I know you 40, for those I've already quoted).
