TiTek Dual Front Air Vents -see URL below. Are these worth installing on the 370Z? Opinions?

If you have the Stillen Gen 3 CAI you will benifit greatly from installing these. My only issue is leaving the Intakes so exposed. Especially with rain and harsher conditions.

I think the 370z can benefit from vents like that, the engine bay gets really hot, especially without an oil cooler. I'm not a fan of the way they look, but I like the concept. I probably would like them better if they were painted to match, they just stick out a little too much.

I don't think rain would be a problem. I have run larger functional scoops on Mustangs and drove in heavy downpours without any problems whatsoever. I wonder if it is possible that the rain-cautions are really just a mythical thing?

rain would not effect the G3's

the G3's intakes on the G37 is right behind the grille....no one got hydro locked

but also, don't go flooring around when it rains heavily...lol

those vents look ugly, photoshop them to be colour matched and then it may look good...the idea is good

Perfect for the G3 intake setup but you would have to be a fool to think two pieces of molded plastic are worth this money.

Are these a Mine's knockoff?

nogoodname · 06-26-2009, 08:50 PM

the mines one look a bit different

209Z · 07-02-2009, 10:13 PM

isent mines like 800....lol

i rather take these and get it painted to match or some color that would look *better* for the Z.

400 or 800...hhahaha
mmm.....none lol..i say 125 or lower

Off the top I can think of a couple things to consider:

The Stillen G3 intakes are tuned due to diameter, length, turbulence minimizing...just to name a few parameters.

More flow going into a "compartment" will cause an increase in pressure.

Especially under load the intake will draw air in.

My thought is that the front compartment may not be ambient temperature but it will be cooler than it was before with the holes/ducts.

If air is simply dumped into the stock box I'm not sure this would be a true RAM air system. Essentially there would be improvement only on cooler temps not neccessarily a RAM affect (unless car speed was significant).

just my

without data to look at.
