You got it installed ? The owners of SE are friends of mine, they're installing some intakes for me in a couple weeks when I get back from Vacation.

any questions? I can probobly relay it to them.

"Check your freakin' email and respond." That's what you should relay to them.

Let me check out our z once we get it back from Mackin so i can have an answer for you. I know for sure that its just a different bracket for the power steering reservior, meaning you remove the OE and replace it with the new bracket and it angle's the bottle slighlty higher to avoid rubbing against the filter

hope that helps

Totally not worth it to me..... It was all hype and limited production.
At least they refunded a guy on myg37.

Cool, Im not making any allegations, just observations. If you do post pics, that would be cool.

The picture on the top, the black ones, from the half down are very very similar to the JWT's. If you say yours looks like the ones in the top picture...then thats what I'm trying to say...

Diversion · 07-07-2009, 04:39 PM

That's my point, as I stated in the original post, they are not worth $800.. $700, $600, $500, or even $400.. They could have gotten away with $300 probably. They are decently made intakes.. They fit fine, other than the left one's filter hitting the power steering reservior. I've been checking the filter everyday and don't see any signs of rubbing damage.

nogoodname · 07-07-2009, 04:53 PM

They have a good rep on myg37. I'm sure they'll do something. Well, hopefully

Diversion · 07-07-2009, 04:59 PM

Well, either way, I can fix what they failed at for a few bucks in the least.

And i'll wait for their e-mail/response and keep this thread updated.

Can you post a short driving review?

How is the sound, butt dyno, throttle response ect... anything else you may have to offer as an opinion.

Thanks

Nick

I can't hear anything because i'm running around town without a muffler.. Car felt more responsive, more punchy.. But it could all very well be in my head. There's not much else I can add.. I doubt you'd be able to feel another 10-15 whp in our cars that already put close to 300 whp.

And unfortunately i'm having my Berk HFCs and Invidia exhaust installed this Thursday so i'm sure I will won't be able to hear the intakes over the exhaust.

Oh yeah, go to Youtube and type in "Status Elite Intake" and you should find several videos of a G37 on the dyno with just the SE intakes on.. They sound pretty deep and loud for intakes.

Thanks for clearing that up Lou, I have absolutely no gripes with Amplified, in fact keep up the good work

No offense taken sir. I just wanted to inform the members on the difference between the two intakes. Im a dealer for both products so i didn't want to be bias but i wanted to give everyone the correct information regarding the two

Diversion · 07-08-2009, 03:56 PM

Added pics to OP.

jmlenz · 07-09-2009, 06:43 PM

I was most impressed by the pics the 3GS takes

Received a response from Status Elite:

"Hi Jay, that's odd that we didn't have necessary clamps needed for installation. I will ship that out for you today, As for the bracket, yes it is used for the powersteering reservoir to allow more room for the filters. Sorry, we had released the 370z intakes early without installation instructions. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kevin"

Looks like they are going to help me out, so that's a relief!

Jay
