There are no gains to be had from this mod. I ran my car with the stock intakes without filters, just straight up open and there was no gain on the dyno.

I bought and installed them on my 09 z and did not notice anything. I might be a bit louder...hard to tell. Than again a 5 hp gain would not be noticeable.

Then why buy a 300+ hp car, to use on the N-S HWY?
And Singapore's speed limits are not that strict...

When K&N comes out with a Typhoon kit similar to the JWT pop chargers, then I'd be interested!

I have them in my Z right now. (I put them in before RCZ discovered that there's no gain.) Do you have a question about them? You know...I just ordered a new Stillen intake, so in about two weeks I'm not going to need them anymore. If you want them, you can have them. Just cover my shipping cost and they're yours.
