Our 370Z is supercharged and was shipped out to California for events so we don't have access to a 370Z at the moment. Since everyone is wondering about the performance of our air intake hoses vs. HPS, we will offer a FREE set of hoses to anyone in Delaware or Pennsylvania who will come to our shop and let us use their car for dyno testing. We prove the performance of our product, someone gets free hoses. It's a win for everybody. If it takes testing a member's car to prove the integrity of our company and our products, then let's make it happen.

If anyone is local to the Philadelphia area and is interested in participating, please send me an e-mail at julia@mishimoto.com.

Thanks,
Julia Bustard
I'll keep this up for you if there should be any issues with the moderators

Well personally, I think they just look better than stock.

I have the COBB tubes myself, which were the predecessors to the HPS Tubes and everyone says the same things about them. When it comes to 3 of the same thing, it's about who markets the best and who is out first... they set the bar.

Good luck to Mishimoto. I don't see why their product would be of any lesser quality than the HPS tubes, they do great work with radiator hoses (which I need to get myself a set of... ahem Kami ) So looking forward to independent dyno results. Someone jump on a free set for a free dyno too!

Also Mishimoto, to make sure you guys don't get in trouble by some people, send a PM to AK370Z or admin to get yourselves setup with a Vendor account so you can get more visibility with your own section.

We are not trying to sell anything. In fact, in reality we are trying to give something away for free. Hence why I am hoping we won't be banned for spam.

Oh no, wasn't implying that you were. Just that if you'd like to at some point, that's how you could set yourself up for that.

Would be nice to have a direct rep on here from your company as I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in your product once it gets some more publicity.

Along with the hoses, I was thinking of getting some of that wire wrap you can get at autozone and such, the red one, to wrap all the electical wiring to make the bay a nice clean red/black. Or do you think that would be a bit overboard with swapping the rubber hose tubings to red silicone as well?

personally? I don't like too much color in an engine. The radiator hoses are fine to me, but once it goes to all the cables and hoses I start thinking and seeing ricer hahaha. But like I said, that's my personal taste. If you wanna go all out its up to you haha.
