:iagree:

Especially with the filters being placed in an area as far as I know gets no direct airflow... :ugh2:

Your thinking to much in the lines of a filtered ram air system. The Nismo is a cold Air System like the AEM and Injen.

The Stillen G3 is an excellent system but it's not for everyone and some feel better about actually having a Nismo product on there Nissan, believe it or not.:tup:

Not really, I'm thinking in terms of a normal intake. The AEM and Injen designs are inside the engine bay, meaning they'll get fed air from the stock intake ports...

The Nismo will be from the fender wells outside the engine bay, meaning no direct airflow...

I agree having a Nismo part would be better, and I would like this as well. Which is why I'm :shakes head: with this kit. It's more expensive than the stillens and afaIk not as good of a design. Now, once we get one on a dyno and road driving to see how well it actually performs, if it out performs Stillens well then we have a winner and I will gladly order one.

...Provided they drop the price to where it should be. :icon17:

Their cold air systems aren't. They're filters and lower tubes are located in the fenderwells.;)

Pretty sure the nismo system is just a rebranded AEM. AEM does this for many makes. Mazda 3 came with a "Mazdaspeed" intake that was actually an AEM system.

This looks more like an Injen design ripoff than the AEM design. The main differences being they don't constrict the MAF section like Injen, or use a silly trickery like AEM. So hopefully this is a best of both worlds design, with an extra $100 tacked on to call it Nismo. :shakes head:

This intake has already been a topic on this forum before. Most people bched about the foam filter half way up the intake tubes. Personally I dont car for long tube intake designs. The last half of the intake tubing going into the TB is going to get heat soaked anyways, and the "cold" air (or whatever ambient temp air; that is always changing from season to season) that is coming in does nothing but challenge your tune. I prefer to me on a more consistant basis.

I'm happy with my z1 smooth tubes and cosworth filters. 370z already pulls air from outside the engine bay.

In the case of the intake. I trust the NISMO product first. But remember, the R-tune line is NOT covered by warranties of any kind. Just in case you guys are thinking any different.
