I bought new AEM dry filters to replace the oiled ones so I'll be pulling off my front bumper again soon.

Nothing I can't manage

and yes I wrapped it very tight

Gonna do this in a few days but had a question...

Does the Gen3 have any brackets to anchor the tubes anywhere inside the engine compartment or do they just attach at the TBs with the front filters resting inside the the bumper? Or is it the front core support holes that provide support?

In my past experiences most intakes have some sort of tab or arm that bolts too the engine bay or front support, but after reading this thread there is no mention of a support piece.

None that I remember. The pipes are attached to the TBs and the air filters at each end. Make sure to wrap your AC lines with some rubber material to prevent damage from the intake tubes rubbing against it.

Nice. No need to re-oil the damn thing

Installing mine now and ran into a slight issue. My passenger filter (dry filters btw) is all the way up against the sharp lip on the center bracket.

In all of the install threads and pics I've seen there appears to be some space here, although minimal. I can't find anything else out of place. Is this normal with the AEM dry filters? Should I be worried about that edge cutting into the filter over time?

get aFe pro 5 r's. they fit better too

FairladyZ10PG · 08-23-2015, 03:45 AM

Mine was a little snug too

Thanks for the step by step. Helped me out last night during my install!
Stillen kit even came with extra rubber hose and ties to wrap the ac lines!
Awesome kit and again thanks for writeup

these are the 2 hose that I dont have and wondering if i can use OEM ones..

also, one last question. I realized the guy I bought them from had a G37. he advertised them as compatible but was wondering if they really are the same as the 370z ones?

ok finally forget my questions, I bought intakes for G37 and they are not the same at all. I've put them back for sale

Just got some gen3's from a friend but the rubber protection for the ac lines is missing. Anyone know any good alternatives to source for this?

Just slit a piece of fuel line or other rubber hose and zip tie it on.
