Top Secret Dual Cold Air Intake 370Z

Swat Performance

Hey ZKindaGuy,

I appreciate your imput and opinion and am sorry you feel that way about Top Secret. I can tell you that Top Secret Intakes are not for everyone and yes, they are expensive. You need to consider though that Top Secret is in Japan and is very well known for developing the best possible products no matter what it is. Top Secret goes to great lenghts to produce the best possible parts for your car and that is the reason my company offers them.

Top Secret products are expensive and rare but perfectly made. They are not for everyone. Just because they cost more than other products does not mean that they are overpriced or price gouging. They are simply the best products on the market. There are so many other products from hundreds of manufacturers around the world that are chaeper and do an ok job. I will stand behind Top Secret no matter what because Smoky Nagata is a genius and makes beautiful, precise, perfect products.

Who can argue or blame them for offering these products?

Ken, where is cypress, TX? Might be interesting to put them up against my injen's as well as a stillen CAI on a car with full bolt-ons (which most people that have intakes have).

And again I ask, what sets this set of intakes apart from others with similar designs? How did Nagata-san specifically 'tune', if that is the correct word, a short air intake to beat a long tube CAI, which ostensibly is a better system due to its ability to get colder air than what is available in the engine bay?

From an engineering perspective I see nothing that can justify the price, even considering it as a JDM item. I'd love to compare these side by side with the HKS Suction Reloaded and see what exactly has changed. I'm all for JDM, just look what I'm doing with Amuse. But this is one of those parts that really raises some concern for me.

With that said, I'm not on the market for these, so I'll leave my thoughts at this.

I don't mean to discourage buyers interested in Top Secret products, I just want to get a better understanding from a more...'academic' standpoint, I suppose.

In terms of parts and performance, TS has been around for a long time, and has a great reputation, so if someone wants them, by all means go get them.

Ken, about those parts I asked for...lol
