Default My New LiteSpeed Racing Titanium Cold air Intake

About a month back I bought my new intakes. In my search for a cold air intake I wasn’t in love with anything on the market (I've had the car for pretty much two years come October so been looking for a while) until Litespeed Racing titanium cold air intakes came out. This is my first modification for the car and I’m happy with my decision yes they are expensive but no regrets. Install took about 3 hours mainly because we were trying to be careful to not scratch the intakes. Same install as the stillen G3

Pros
*The intakes look amazing.
*Though I can not actually hear the intakes the sound of my engine has changed. sounds aggressive.
*Customer service is a 10/10 no problems at all fast responses.
*Most important no check engine light or codes and I feel more of a response in the car in which im happy about.
Cons
*The clamps suck and they are to small and need to be replaces they feel cheap. But no big deal I used the stock clamps.
*You really need to be careful not to scratch the intakes.
*And the Air senor did not fit in the intakes, Had to sand down the intakes in order for them to fit.
*Also now that the intakes are in my engine bay they look small. Buy look fancy.

AFAIK, there hasn't been a single published dyno test on these yet, even though Litespeed said they dyno'd similarly to other CAIS.

From the looks of it, the tubing is on the smaller side. Coud you measure the outer diameter?

Did you have to cut through the core support like the G3’s?

I've never did a baseline so I wouldn't know the real gains even if I did a dyno test. Yea i'll have to measure tomorrow just got home from a 10 work day.

Well dumb purchase IMO. Zero power over anyone else and zero weight savings unless an ant needs to carry it around the track. If you cut your hair that's where your weight savings will come from and you'd have $375 left in your pocket.

Ok? and you paid a tremendous amount of money for a 370z which is a car!when you can buy a Nissan versa for 15K new.

First off you sound ridiculous. People like you are the reason tuners and other companies aren’t running to our cars to support them. The other titanium intake option is 2200 bucks. I'm not after the highest gains so dude please don’t consultant me about where my money should go. I wasn’t paying for the gain's of the unit's I’m paying for the fact that they are titanium and that’s what I want period case closed. People are starving in Africa? really but yet again you bought a 370z? The price for these intakes are irrelevant I saved for them I knew these were coming out months a head of time. For those who buy the meisterschaft system purely on sound it’s no different. When you buy titanium you're gonna pay period nobody should be surprised.
