i'm planing to get a cold air intake for my 6mt coupe. i did some research on it and said that water might get stuck in to the intake and will get in to the engine. those who have intake, what did you guys do to prevent that??? thanks for looking and please leave advise
ps anyone know a good site to get a rear spoiler with paint job???

 

I have the aem bypass valve.....had the intake on for about a month and a half and its a long tube w.o any problems. What intake are you looking at? A short ram shouldnt even take any water.

 

bypass valve definitely.......

 

i want the cold air intake but i dont want that water problem. if i dont have a choice then i would go for the short pipe intake.

 

bypass valve??? its better than intakes???

 

Aem sells a bypass valve which is an addon to your intake. It prevents hydrolock i also hear there is a bag that can go over your intake thats mesh plastic that prevents water from getting sucked in too.

heres a link to what it does

 

thanks for the advise i will ask my car mechanic about the bypass valve with the long tube intake.

 

by the way, do you know where i can get a rear pearl white spoiler??

 

^ Try the market section of the forums, your local craigslist, or dealership

 

theres a guy on ebay that is supposedly spot on...your going to have to search on here for the name on there though

 

the stock intake is already a cold air intake. Take a look at the piping. It takes in fresh air directly from the grill area.

The long aluminum cold air pipe is just for bling.

 

I wouldnt do it.. I have stock box, k&n, and ztube.

Do this.. https://g35driver.com/forums/engine-...ir-intake.html

 

Stock box, K&N Drop In Filter, ZTube...

Don't fool your self, if you pay for something shiny, it's just for the pretty. You wont get ish for gains, but it'll look good.

 

yup. Stay with the stock intake, or get an 06 stock air box if you can. Aftermarket cold air intakes on Z/G dont improve performance.

 

This is the first post I've read where shiny was a bad thing! You can have black shiny like Stillens Z-Tube/CAI combo that has zero issues with moisture or heat soak... 2 to 3 real world HP gain and contains that big azz K&N filter along with being 52 state legal for our G35s!
Aftermarket CAI do boost HP but it's not nearly what the manufactures claim. What's really cool is the sound our CAIs create from 3K RPMS up....love it!
