For those looking for mines air ducts alternative
 

Hey guys I know many of you want the mines air ducts but the price for them is a bit steep, well came across this though I'd share it with my fellow 370z friends, first time iv heard of this company, please rep if u like :tup:

Amazon.com: Used and New: AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber Dual Air Ducts - Nissan 370Z 2010 - Up

I saw these the other day when I was looking for CF stuff for the Z, I was gonna ask if anybody had tried them out, what the quality was like. How much are the mine's ones again? Like $1200?! That's retarded.

Very interesting. I've been wanting some of these. I've defiantly have heard of the company. I bought some carbon fiber mirrors from them when I had my 350. Very pleased.

Just for a quick reference, what would I use to cut my bumper, and how do these things stay attached?

I would just use a air powered reciprocating saw with fine teeth for the initial cutting.

I'd like to know if this would wet the filter under heavy rain when using with StillenG3... not because it it directly in front of the filter but there can be air vortex in that area...

I was wondering the same thing, I was thinking of putting them right on the filters until I thought about that. It rains a lot in the summer here in Florida :)

I bet it would be fine... I know on the G37 the filters sit right behind the open grill and people can drive in the rain no problem. I am sure with it being over to the side would make for even less problems! :twocents:

The ducts come with a template and the air is directed strait in through an opening in the radiator core that enters directly where my K&N Typhoons now feed cold air from. I placed masking tape down on my bumper and then transfered the outline from the templates to the tape. Using a drill and a 9/16" bit, I drilled a hole at each corner. Next I cut out the bumper following the templet lines with a jigsaw. I had to replace 2 long bolts in the radiator supports with shorter ones so that the ducts would clear. The ducts are held in by 3M double sided tape but you can use screws if you so desire. It takes longer to pull the bumper than install the ducts.

do the ducts follow the ontours of the bumper? I have seen some cheaper ones that dont ahev the fitment leaves alot to be desired haha

I think they do...

I got the 350Z air ducts and I cover them up every time there is a threat of rain in the forecast just to be on the safe side.

Well I know what I'm getting next.
