Those are intake resonators and you can take them off completely. I took mine off when I installed my Gen 3's you will notice a bit deeper exhaust note at least I did with the stillens. As mentioned above you still will need to route the breather hose back up to the stock intake hoses or get the filters.

PM Me if you want to keep it stock I have mine sitting in the garage.

The OEM piece is a restrictor. You're not getting any weird issues? I'd love to see a log or oil catch can or something that that restrictors supposed to restrict.

Resonators or restrictors?

OP, since you broke yours, can you cut it open? I'd like to see inside.

I had one break on me on my 1st 370Z. It's hollow -- just a right angle breather tube -- nothing special. If it cracks you get a vacuum leak, which is bad. That replacement breather tube from autozone does the trick.

Interesting. So what the hell is inside the Z1 hose?

If its routed in the same locations -- I'm guessing nothing. Its probably just a flexible tube that runs between the IM port and the rubber intake tube.

It probably just narrows in diameter and/or has a hard plastic or metal fitting inside the tube -- doesn't look like it has any kind of filter or specially shaped resonator.

Basically, just a line of tubing.

I have aftermarket intakes, they are Fujita from a g37. So they didn't fit 100% to begin with, but from what I'm reading the Z'1s should do the trick. Thanks for the help guys, appreciate it!
