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!

Great info Thanks. Did a little digging, your military history with filtration products is impressive.

Sincere thanks! Our association and commitment to our servicemen and women means a great deal to us.
Last year, we were contacted by several prominent race teams from across the motorsports spectrum in an effort to resolve the system/filter concerns they were experiencing. That was the impetus for our initial evaluation/testing of the current performance product offerings. Our goals were simple; determine what issues, if any, existed among these products and if significant problems with flow and engine protection were evident, could we design, engineer and build products that performed much better. It took months of lab work experimenting with filter media to meet or exceed our goals. I hope we can share our product developments and dedication to true performance filtration with many of the enthusiasts that post here. We're always listening to feedback and suggestions in order to provide an effective, user friendly product.

After reading all this about how well this filter flows, etc... my question is... is flow the biggest factor here?
Would a heatsoaked intake produce more power because it's pulling in more air at 99% efficiency than a cooler intake produce more power at 90% efficiency?
So basically, you might have the best filter element out on the market, but having an intake in the engine bay is asking for heatsoak. Does the heatshield actually do it's job or is it just there? Will this thing actually help me make more power? How about with my crappy JWT heatshield? Can I combine the two heatshields (would that even benefit me)?

The Maxxflow intake($329) and the JWT replacement filters($65) have been added:

I will be using the filter for sure... I don’t plan to get the entire intake though (I have Stillen and am happy with it)... I would give the intake tube itself a shot, but again, I'm not going to buy the whole kit just to try the tube over a z-tube - besides, my Z-Tube has thermal coating that I am satisfied reduces intake temps... As with the others here, if a test car is needed, I'll gladly compare to what I run...
But the filter is intriguing to me. Unless the fitment is crap, I’m sure I'll be happy with it.
