The only problem with any of the Short Ram Intakes is sucking in hot air from the engine bay. The SRI flow really well from lack of restriction (Short intake tube with very little bends and big Cone Filter).
Almost every other car I have owned has some kind of SRI with a nice heat shield box providing the filter with cold air. I have yet to see a SRI for the 370z that has a heat shield box. There are some with heat shields but...it would be nice to see a company create a CAI box for a SRI.
I have the stock box setup with the Takeda Intake tubes. But the drop in AFE filters and stock box design are just too restrictive however it does provide cold air +8-10 over ambient.
Only SRI I would consider for the 370z:
K&N Typhoon
RC2 MaxFlow
