I prefer to me on a more consistant basis.

Soooo. I can't say a whole lot right now, but...

The "foam filters" are bypass valves, to prevent water lock.

The fender-well placement seems to only restrict air when the car is static, ie, on the dyno.

After engine is fully warmed IATs are 2-5 degrees above ambient while in motion.

The tubing is larger diameter than Stillen.

Probably requires tuning for best results.

Has some cool tricks and touches that other intakes don't have, like Venturi devices in strategic places.

That's about all I can say right now, but I will say that if you are doing a serious build for combined street/track (meaning you want CAI since you aren't adding aero assistance mechanisms to the car and ditching VVEL, etc) then this intake, with proper tuning support, is most likely the best part you can get, off the shelf.

Wish I could be more forthcoming, but I signed stuff that says I can't, yet. :-)

So how are they working for you? Did you have to get a tune after the install or was it plug and play?

Thanks in advance,

They're a great choice for streetable car.

On my car, I needed a tune, but I have long tube headers and the nismo catback.

Depends on your mods, really.

Mine may be for sale soon for a very reasonable price

I have no other mods on my NISMO. Why are you going to sell?

Potentially have a new sponsor who has their own product.
