Maybe one of those vehicle wraps with the R2C logo all over the car in exchange?

Send the engine compartment photos. We'd all like to see the cleanest G35 around. I'm picky though!

Now you are talking




Back when it was with stock air intake.

Now rocking Z tube with Stillen filter.

Found a picture of Z tube and Stillen set up.

(filter is not dirty, it just came out that way on the pic)

I can't see the pictures at work, but I can assure you that mine looks similar, but dirty and none of the bling. You don't want your intake pictured on a clean nice looking engine bay. You want it on one with dust and oil on it, like mine.

+1 on CARB legal. If it is then the $400 is justified, if not then us folks in Cali could be sent to the referee.

R2C Performance Intake

Hello Speedgeek,

The tube is a unique shape that was created in our lab to maximize flow and eliminate restriction. All facets and transitions were generated with this in mind. It's a cross-linked polyethelene. We created a venturi between the filter outlet and the tube entrance. The filter will outflow all competitors over the entire lifespan.



Here is the corporate promulgation:

No Compromise Performance and Engine Protection!

R2C Performance Products introduces the highest level of performance and engine protection available to Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 enthusiasts.

The new, state-of-the-art, R2C Performance MaxxFlow Cold Air Intake System reduces inlet restriction by over 60% when compared to other aftermarket products. High strength, polymer construction provides the finest thermal barrier to ensure a cooler, more powerful intake air charge resulting in
increased power and throttle response.

The need to compromise flow and low restriction for engine protection is over!

The proprietary and patent pending R2C PowerFlow Filter provides the lowest restriction levels over the entire life of the filter. HLVV media technology delivers unmatched engine protection and efficiency. The PowerFlow completely eliminates the reliance on poor performing oiled cotton gauze.

#1 in Lowest Restriction over the entire life of the filter- More Horsepower and Torque and Optimum Economy!
#1 in Engine Protection- Eliminate excessive engine wear and oil breakdown
#1 in Dust Holding Ability- HLVV technology stops and holds damaging particulate from entering your engine
#1 in Initial and Cumulative Efficiency- The best filtering efficiency when new and when dust loaded
#1 in Cleanability - No hazardous cleaners or oils required! - Fast and easy, low pressure compressed air cleaning.
Lifetime warranty!

R2C Performance Products -World Class Performance Intake Systems and Filters
