Intake Ducts?

theboydiddy · 09-11-2012, 01:51 PM

i personally think it compliments the car design with one intake duct. not two. i have been considering, to do the same on mine.

the reason it looks better on the grey Z is because it doesnt stand out as much. black on grey. your Z is blue with black accents. jumps out a lot and is totally not a sleeper look.

besides, you have a tow hook, unless you race, that screams look at me. Tons of kids come into the store asking for tow hooks and sometimes i'll start a convo and ask "so what else have you done" and 90% of the time its lower (on springs), rims (replicas), tow hook. if you spend more on the outside than engine/suspension/brakes, its rice as far as im concerned

Regarding the color: absolutely, grey and black is a subtle clash and blue and black offer more of a constrast. I like the contrast black look however

LOL at your Tow Hook comment! So you HAVE to race your car to have a tow hook, really? What about this scenario? Your car gets towed, and not because you needed a tow. How would the tow company secure your car in the flat bed? Think about this one for a second...... did you figure it out? They will use what ever braces they find in the suspension to secure the car... I in the other hand rather have a place where these idiots can place their hook into. =P INCASE my car ever gets towed WITHOUT my consent or supervision.

You realize there are many people here 100% completely satisfied with the stock perfomance of the car right? Additionally, you do realize there are tons of people with factory warranty in their cars right? For me personally, I have a 100,000 mile warranty and I completely love the security of having a completely reliable engine and no fear of forking over thousands of dollars for any repairs for the life time I will own this car. This is the main reason I will not touch my engine. Reliability/Security > Engine Modification.

You have to move past the Civic mindset days broah in where adding anything to a 120 hp car was ridicoulous = rice. This is when the term was coined.

Our cars are produce 332 hp already and I am personally very satisfied with its performance, which is the reason why i got this car to begin with.

now

Yeah one intake duct is the ideal look IMO as well. if the 370 had a single I take intake manifold I would have already done this mod. but I've been reluctant because you need two. Regardless I may be bored one day and end up doing it either way! LOL

Same here. Lol.
How much did this cost To get it done ?

robones · 09-11-2012, 04:42 PM

how much to get what done? lol I have not done it yet =p

theboydiddy · 09-11-2012, 05:00 PM

The intake ducts. I meant to ask the "thread owner"
But I remember seeing a 370 with ONE intake ducts. I just didn't know what they were for at the time... But it looked cool. Now that I know the purpose of it, I'm thinking how much of a bastard he looked. Lol

robones · 09-14-2012, 01:26 PM

LOL thanks Scribe! Dont know what happened there.

Still waiting on a response... The rectangular shape of these ducts are a little more appealing. These may be the Varis ducts but i dont see the little screws in each corner like the one pictured below so its throwing me off a bit.

robones · 10-24-2012, 10:46 AM

It Looks great man!

But I would think to optimize the intakes, the vents should have been placed a little closer together perhaps?
