I sometime feel the car pools better at certain RPM and Gear.

I've only had them a week now, and I'm still going to give it time to figure out if I like them or not.

I kinda wish thought the filter design were like JWT pop chargers.

I agree with this, there's no HP loss... I only have positive things to say about it. At the same time I would NEVER pay $300 for new set of short ram intakes. I got mine for dirt cheap from theDreamer, and that alone is worth it. I don't have any hp loss, I feel the car pulling better in the top end. They sound awesome, and honestly that's all I wanted. I'm not building a track monster or anything. I want something really cool like a CF intake, I feel like all the intakes out for our cars are so blah and boring, they don't make your engine bay look good at all. I'm holding over with Takedas until then.

The only problem with any of the Short Ram Intakes is sucking in hot air from the engine bay. The SRI flow really well from lack of restriction (Short intake tube with very little bends and big Cone Filter).

Almost every other car I have owned has some kind of SRI with a nice heat shield box providing the filter with cold air. I have yet to see a SRI for the 370z that has a heat shield box. There are some with heat shields but...it would be nice to see a company create a CAI box for a SRI.

I have the stock box setup with the Takeda Intake tubes. But the drop in AFE filters and stock box design are just too restrictive however it does provide cold air +8-10 over ambient.

Only SRI I would consider for the 370z:
K&N Typhoon
RC2 MaxFlow

I also got mine used. I'll let someone else pay full price for them.
