where do you live, ill straight trade your cobb pipes for my fujita replica intake, used with about 1500 miles on them

pipes are clean and they work, i just removed mine because i didnt like IATs being so high but i didnt run a heat shield, you have a heat shield so it should be better for you

they should work out perfect for you then, i dont know what you have your maf sized out to be but it comes with a 2.5in maf diameter and its 2.75in before and after the maf

you can always cut them down to size though if you need to

I did it myself all by hand sanding. I am not finished yet I have 3 more steps left (2000 grit, steel wool and finally polish/protectant. Its been a tough *** product but it will be worth it. I also have the nrg cf engine cover coming this week, zele cf cooling plate and jdm comparrment cf covers.
Also have the polished res tank from LCR being made this week. So thats why I really need some polished intake pipes to replace the cobb ones.

Got the cap in 2009 from zeetoyz but they are not around anymore now I don't think. The covers on the wires are called covoshield. Awesome product and not cheap quality! They dont chip or fade like cheep fake ones. They also provide better protection that the oem ones.il throw a link up in the general discussion forum for everyone to check out.

man u are doing a bunch of stuff i thought about doing. ordered the nrg cover online, but after over a month i got no word on shipping i got a refund. at the same time i painted my strut tower cover in favtor z34 silver (thought about going polished for a long time).

btw, you should go with some polished long tubes in your ride. it would look sick with the polished strut tower brace. maybe some injens?

(mine as ref)




I still wanna get a hold of an nrg cover tho. so whenever yours comes in post up some pics! you dont get to see many on z's.
