Nismo VSPEC intake duct!

Thanks! It will definitely help improve cold air flow to the intake area. However, we want to make sure it is not direct airflow onto the filters as this actually has been tested locally to decrease performance and starve the filter... In essence turbulence is created around the filter causing a starving affect.

Wouldn't you also be concerned about water intrusion on the filters? This will provide a direct path for rain while being driven.

No as the intake duct is several inches below the filters. Like posted above there is no direct air impact to the filters so no water intrusion on the filters. I say this with one exception... Don't submerge the car in water lol
