R2C Intake - Redesigned
Well I have been corresponding with R2C for quite a few months now on the redesign of the single 350z/g35 intake. They have discontinued use of the plastic "square tube" and designed a round aluminum tube. While there for some dyno sessions, the round tube produced 10whp more on the dyno vs the old. Even the engineers were a bit baffled, but the numbers are what they are. I'm still awaiting for the arrival of my tube and can't wait. The intakes have been officially released and ready for immediate purchase. Available in polished finish and also the best option in my opinion, black nickel. Black powder will be available in the near future.
Run# 1 & 2 are round aluminum tube and run# 3 is the plastic square tube. The difference could also be felt from the drive back to the shop from the dyno.
I am still trying to get them to work out a price for just the tube for those that already have the intake and want to upgrade.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but what exactly sets this intake apart from any other POP style intake? It looks just like everything else out there. A metal conductive intake pipe that's going to heat badly and a filter exposed to underhood air temp.Going off the power claims, I have a hard time believing this intake making well over 10whp/wtq more than stock. Too bad no one has done an independent dyno test with this intake.

Well Dave, the dyno was done on my car while I was there. I have no reason to to make up anything. There were 4-5 runs with old setup and 4-5 runs with new setup. The other intakes on the market can't hold a candle to the filtration provided by this intake. Comparing metal to plastic obviously in this case the metal tube came out on top. So the argument about heat just doesn't fly anymore, they had done testing where they heated up the metal tubes well above any normal temperature and it didn't effect the outcome. R2C is a very small part of what they really do, which is make filters for government vehicles. They are also huge into dirt track series, which they make filters for as well. I have seen the media that other brands use for filters and the media they use for the filters.
