So it MIGHT make some difference though i doubt it but as per Bats observations there is something there.
gotta agree for 2nd point . .
as for spirals, do they really restrict air ? i don't think so . .
anyway . . thanx for explaination .

Edit : do they fit sedans too ? cuz it says they're for G37 !
because i don't wanna end it up getting an extra connected hose like i did when i got my R2c intakes without the suitable passenger ( y ) connected hose !!!!!

JM2C but I don't see #2 myself.
At the rate the air flows though the tube, the ambient of the tube is insignificant.
There is precious little time for heat transfer.

They definitely look nice though.

these definitely increase the sound. They arent full intakes, so dont expect that sound, but its definitely louder.

so is it a little bit louder and makes it feel faster, or it is really faster a bit?

I Installed this today. Sounds good under full throttle. Fitment on the MAF is not perfect so I am thinking I may need to install the old flex tube.

it seems like HPS Silicone Intake Hose is a little better quality and easier to get:
