K & N short intake...opinions

Go with Post MAF tubes with K&N drop ins and call it a day. Z1, HPS, Mishimoto etc can hook you up.

if only interested in short rams then don't bother. do what speedfreek said.

i did the same with mine because like you i didnt want the hassle of removing re-installing the bumper, though not a hard task to accomplish, i just didnt want to do it.

2 x K&N drop ins
33-2399 - K&N Replacement Filters, Replacement Air Filter direct from K&N

and these HPS replacement hoses:
Amazon.com: 09-11 Nissan 370Z 3.7L VQ37VHR HPS Silicone Post MAF Air Intake Hose Blue: Automotive

cheaper than shortrams and no risk of heatsoak

Installed the K & N Typhoon today and I like it. Can't say there's much of a power increase but it definitely is more responsive at upper RPM's.

Unfortunately there seems to be a buzz like an elelctric razor from 4-5K so I'm not sure if that's a rattle or loose part. I checked everything and it's all good. Anyone else experienced this?
Might be coming from the drivers side......
