No problems here....I just did mine today. I was going to go with the Chrome Intake but I think there will be too much of a heat soak. Went with the stock Z tube and K&N Filter...the sound over 4K is f'n awesome.... I think you probably had bad bolts that gave out to heat stress. I'd recommend trying to get those warrantied....I"m sure the dealer is going to want some ridiculous amount.

Does the Z-tube change the sound of the G-Coupe at idle or low RPM's at all?

Hi,
After the installation, it is needed to reset the ECU? Or is fine just to unplug the battery for some time?

I asked because I notice that the response with the Ztube is not the same. Is like a delay on perfomance when you press the gas pedal. After the Ztube, when I pressed the gas pedal the car response very fast. Now with the Ztube is not the same. The sound is great (as stated before), also you can fell a nice punch, but with a delay.
