no one? am I late? do people already have this?

naw...

a. HPS tubes are much less $ and made in USA. (although mishimoto is a fake j-name are these made in the USA as well? they're in delaware or something). i use the HPS post MAF tubes and they work great. :tup:

b. mishimoto's intake they did for the 370Z did not net results people were looking for.

so i suppose those 2 reasons... maybe they can put out some real numbers these tubes make and match market price.

always the bubble buster aren't you hahaha, nah but I just posted MSRP, I can get it down to about $108 too =P

also, to be reasonable, has anyone tried this one in comparison with the HPS one?

Is there a dyno avaliable by any chance , baseline vs these ? I find 180 a bit steep if it provides the same gain as the HPS tubes

Even at the same price. I would rather buy the product that gives better gain's. Even if its by 2 rwhp.

wait, you're the vendor... i'd talk to your mishimoto contact to get you the data people will need to make their decision to buy those mishimoto tubes.

It's a silicon tube that is shaped exactly like the HPS tubes. There won't be any performance differences between the two. Come on, people.

:iagree: If these came out before the hps then the situation would just be reversed, wtf. Or hps tubes have a super inside liner made by nasa that allows the airflow to triple compared to there competitors, lol..:stirthepot:

you never know haha, i don't have all the specs on the inner diameter so there might be a slight difference that edges the HPS over the mishimoto or vise versa

truthfully I'd be more interested in a non biased customer do a review, for the sake of figures and a customer review also works better than company specs when I try selling :tup:

**MODS: I hope this will not be considered spam. However, we are here listening to consumer concerns and would like to make everyone happy.

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/Wilmington area and is interested in participating, please send me an e-mail at julia@mishimoto.com.

Thanks,
Julia Bustard
