I had these for a while. The install was pretty easy except actually getting them to fit. I did not want to trim any pieces so I just worked my way around it. That was the only thing time consuming. I could have saved time and just trim away.

BTW, this is on a Nismo with drop in HKS filters. I don't have any other mods and I have not dyno'ed it yet.

i just installed mine, i like them, they look great and helped smooth the rpm range out, surprisingly, more than I anticipated. Helped add a bit of growl to the intake as well.

Here's my little review, just a bit I can add to what has already been said. I didn't buy these expecting any gains, just a subtle look and sound change. The hoses look great, they really do. Smooth tubes FTW, accordion FTL! Driving brought a nice sound change under acceleration, added a bit of growl, very much contributing to the natural Z sound. Coupled with the KN filters and my S-Tune exhaust, the sound is very... mature, refined even. I'm very pleased.

you got it pal! if you dont have an exhaust, youll be able to appreciate the sound change. just take your time installing them and try not to break anything

Sweet thanks.. I am not a car mechanic by any means but I do consider myself a decent craftsman.. I don't have an exhaust yet so I look forward to the change.. I am gonna use this in conjunction with some FI high flow cats and FI 18" exhaust.

6spd · 01-02-2011, 12:08 PM

best of luck to you!

FYI I order theese a month ago hopping to have them for christmas... Still waiting!

P.S. The waiting isn't really that bad since the car is stored for winter... Just praying for them to arrived before April
