I must be lucky or driving to slow ... though 125-130 is pretty fast at the end of the main straight at Summit Point ... but have had no issues with the car behaving any differently. The only thing I don't like is the incredible amount of dust that now gets sucked up into the engine bay, which on the one side is good because I know colder air is getting in there, but sucks to keep clean.

Anyway, from a performance standpoint I have noticed none of the things you mention the Subi did.

Can I see pics?

Lol 125-130 is cute. Just joking. My 600cc SS does 165 on the straight there. 160 if I gear up. Almost had a nice high side in turn 2 last time

o and almost died from 40-50 mph winds blowing my tent and me around for like 8 straight hours.

The OP was wondering about bringing air into the filter of a short CAI ... I have a Typhoon and bring the air up to feed into the stock location inside the engine bay ... which blows in slightly underneath the filters

There is DIY to do this and it uses the front fascia inserts ... I had them there at first but when I put the Stillen Brake Cooling Kit on had to relocate those hoses.

Only downside I have experienced is the amount of dirt and **** that gets sucked into the engine bay ...

Ahh see that's no different that any cai system. Plenty of bends and such to break up flow.. I'm talking about a more direct flow like with the bumper cut outs right next to the nissan emblem that direct air could flow in and hit the filters. However come to think of it, since most filters have a solid end, that'd break up the flow so it couldn't enter the filter straight on. The filters with more filter element on the end would be a problem I bet. My subi sat length wise in the bumper so the air hit the sides of the filter and not the bottom solid end.

Sorry OP for derailing your thread, Sixpax, where did you get this intake manifold? I want it but i cant find it on Kinetix's website
it looks like the HKS manifold

It's a Kinetix. They made 2 or 3 and it lost power.

even for FI applications?

either way, i think that manifold would be better than the stock one for FI since its metal and its better than the R35 adapter kit since i can keep the stock bracing

anyhow ill stop derailing the thread :P

The pop chargers come with heat shielding to line the sides and then with bumper cut outs feeding direct air to them with the piping ultimately being shorter and smooth I would be curious to see the result.

If your looking at performance go with drop in and post mafs like I have it, I'm hittin 13.4s at drags with no tune and 7AT plus if you add the bumper ducts its definitely a Plus (I don't have em). I like this setup I went with Better than the K&N Typhoons that I had IMHO. You can hear and feel the suction the VQ makes its a Great combo and you won't be dissapointed. In the end its all about Shites and giggles hahahaha

Don't 370zs run a 13.3 bone stock?

Not according to time slips in the 1/4 mi section.....

But I'm still stuck on the part that Stillen G3 was the best intake. (nothing against stillen though)

Like your thread bro. Checkout my similar thread. Did you ever try this setup?
