i guys i have a 07 G35X, with stick air intake, i was wondering can i just replace the stock air filter box with an aftermarket air filter pod only?
i keep everything else stock, nothing changes besides the air filter boxes??
Thanks

 

Yes, but what exactly are you hoping to accomplish? The stock box was designed to get a small boost from air compression at speed, so eliminating isn't necessarily better. You're unlikely to gain anything but noise, and quite like to actually lose power with a homemade setup like that. Simply adding a hi-flowing air filter element (like K&N) to the stock box would surely be much better.

You could always add a plate like on the inlet side of the boxes and then mount a cone filter and cut the top of the lid off to create a box for the filters and have cold air intake look. IDK if its any better at all then adding a K&N drop in filter, but you could always do it and let us know!






I did one similar to this on my last car but it sat further into the airbox for more protection and heat shielding but you get the idea

 

is there any instructions on how to make one of these?
