Why not get some air flowing up there thats cooler than the engine bay. Every other short ram intakes seem to take a bad rep due to heatsoak. Seems logical right? Unless someone can explain the downside other than ?turbulance?.

I purchased a flange adapters off the aircraft site, similar tube off ebay, and flange clamps at my local store. It came out to 50 bucks.

I will edit this post and have some install pics when i tackle it.

The only other negative I can think of is hydro lock. I did this mod a while back, but I never drive my Z in the rain. If it were my daily driver, I might be a little concerned about water getting forced uo the duct in to the intake. It's just a matter of being extra careful to avoid large puddles and flooded areas (which in my opinion should always be done).
