hi folks
today i got the chance to install my z-tube in. it only took me 15 mins to get this done... but my question was when b4 i even startd to install the z-tube i disconnected the neg battery and work on everything....is this ok? im asumming it well reset my ecu? or i didnt even have to reset the ecu at all?
plz let me kno if im doing sumthin wrong or not
thanx

 

i didnt reset the ecu at all. enjoy the sound.

 

I JUST DID MINE 1 min ago...

Hahah
my room mate bought a AEM intake a year ago?? been laying around the garage for a year
i didnt kno it will give our G a boost...

was bored reading around just found out...HAHAHHA

JACKED...!!!!
Shhhh he didnt kno he went out...hahaha

i just disconnect my battery neg....

so how much does it boost???

just tested...love the new sound...

=]

 

well they say wit this mod it would boost it too 3-6 hp...
i have the 06
and it respond pretty good wit these mod
but i do feel the different after puttin the tube in...next mod exhaust

 

^^ 3-6 hp, u cant be serious...

 

I thought it was more like 10-12hp

 

^^ oooh so thats what i felt after i installed mine

 

That or a large pocket of gas in your stomach

Sorry OP....no need to reset your ecu...it will learn the new air flow, but with a z-tube, all you are really doing is making the engine go vroom! by removing the large baffel we have with the stock tube. This goes for most/all intakes on the G...they sound great

Resetting the ECU can be done a number of ways...disconnecting the battery for x amount of hours...pedal method. A search will give you all the details.

Good luck

 

^ ^ What he said!!!

 

I recently bought the pop charger combo with the z-tube from

http://www.czp.us/Cart/description.p...571.192.67.151

via marketplace.


and since I needed my brakes and rotors changed I had my mechanic install it, well he installed the pop charger but said he couldn't install the z-tube. He said it didn't fit, I told the guys on the phone when I ordered it that I had a 05 sedan. Did I get the wrong tube or what?

 

It's the right one. Your mechanic didn't install it right. Maybe he had trouble remving the g tube itself. I had issues getting my old one off.

I ended up removing my airbox as well to get the g tube off. After that, it was much easier to install the z tube itself. Everything slid right in and I was able to tighten the clamps etc

 

okay so removing the airbox would help thanx, but does the z-tube really compliment the pop-charger for sound that is? I got the HKS muffler with the pop charger and it sounds nice.

 

The ztube is less restrictive vs the stock gtube. So yes. Just remember that the popcharger needs it's heat shield to reduce the problem with heat soak.

If I were you, invest in a revup engine airbox for the best gains. That's what me and many folks in this section are doing for the best gains

 

when i installed my z-tube, looking down the factory tube revealed no big restrictions. just the little ports for the resonator boxes. everyone makes it seem like theres huge baffles and flow restrictions when there really isnt.
