Thanks Man..I found your added instructions very helpful. Just a general comment to the thread...Everything was as the instructions suggested...The driver side crank case venting outlet takes the two 3" rubber tubing as a 90 degree setup..and that is a good fit. The instructions state to use the 7" tubing "as is" for the passenger side crank case vent. You just cannot install the 7" piece without a sever kink..As you stated it must be cut to size....Approximately 3" should do it...but measure first.

I immediately felt a difference in response and sound. A really good modification for the money and effort!!

Yes... there's a slight hissing noise at certain range, I've checked the hose and clamps and they are all tight, it is normal from the filters.

Installed FI's over the weekend and will be installing the K & N Typhoon very soon. Will be interested to hear if it improves the already AWESOME sound of my Fast Intentions. I'm going to have the Typhoon tubes powder coated before I install them, will post pics after.

This is my setup too and I'm happy with it. The intake is mostly for the sound though and maybe a better throttle response. Goes together nicely with the FI!

I have installed the intake first, then the Ark Grip couple months after.

The CBE is kinda louder than the intake and it does cover the sound from the intake...

So good luck trying to hear the note from both side...

FI has one of the best CBE note for the Z

I been reading forum postings about the typhoon for months. I currently have invidia cbe and just installed it yesterday. It sounds amazing. There are way to many reviews on these forums that get way to detailed. I can care less about a million specs and comparisons. Bottom line it sounds good and I do feel a difference.
