Pulling the bumper to clean the filters is cake once you've done it once.


So in order for me to properly install the gen I have to mod the radiator ?

Is there some problem with the Mishimoto post-MAF tubes … inferior quality, poor fit, whatever???

370ZYZFR1 02-04-2014 10:12 PM

Also, will the gen 2 really not give me more hp?

Just go with the Gen 3

No the plastic support on the side. there's instructions in the diy section that I'm sure has a picture of it.

Build your own :)

Z1 post tubes
OEM MAF housing cut off of the OEM air box
2.5-2.5" straight coupling
2.5" piping, about 8"
2.5-2.5" 45 degree coupling
More 2.5" piping, about 7"
2.5-2.5" 90 degree coupling
More 2.5" piping, about 4"
2.5-3" reducer coupling
3" piping, about 3"
K&N filter same as stillin

About $200 or so spent. Silicone is better than all aluminium for coolness and where a coupling is, it's slightly bigger inside to run more air. Doubt it does anything power wise but I like it.

I saw a post from Ak370z about installing gen 3. I am probably not going to out that one on. How do the tubes add hp?

Also, will adding a k & n really add hp? For motorcycles, k @ n are crap. Cars they are better??

why ruin the stock box, just buy these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-fit-2009...7b2181&vxp=mtr

basically its a maf adapter for $60, just throw away filters or sell them on craigslist or something, some idiot is bound to buy them

I did read the threads. Then I posted this. This is a forum for feedback. Things change and so do the members.

Excellent post. Good info.

Gibby1113 02-06-2014 11:31 PM

I have the takeda long tube CAI and I love them. No cutting and they fit right where the G3s are. They might deliver 1-2hp less but who cares they look great. And best part is they have a dry filter. You never have to clean them unless you want to. Just my input on this. :tup:
