Intake On The Cheap

LunaZ where did you order the smooth Cobb tubes? They seem easy enough to swap with the stock ridged tubes yea?

Wish that were the case man, but it appears they have stopped producing the black version for whatever reason, and no vendors have them left in stock. My car theme is going to be blackout, wanted to keep it that way in the engine bay so I'm trying not to compromise that with blue tubes.

In another thread people have confirmed that the black post-MAF tubes for the G37 are exactly the same and to go ahead and just order those. Will be calling COBB tomorrow.

No luck unfortunately, no more black for the G either. I posted in the classifieds to see if somebody would sell me theirs or even swap with me if I purchased the blue set.

.02cents...

Watch the fitment, make sure they overlap well and have a good contact area around the clamps.

My buddy used to have thos on his G37. They worked good, but every now and then, if he got on the engine really hard over rough surfaces they would work themsevles loose. They are supper slick and that causes slipping.
Then start sucking air from the seperated area.

I would think on a track car, they would be ok. But not on a street car, especially if you get that motor a rockin...

They look great though!

FYI, I just got back from Cobb Tuning and they just told me that they won't be producing anymore parts for the 370Z.
