Default Front Mount CAI

hey guys. quick question. anyone know what im talking bout when i mention front mount CAI. They do it alot in civics...(used to be a ricer)..where the cold air intake is a front mount. it looks alright but im wondering if anyone knows a place where i can find them for our 350Z. i know it would look VERY ricer for a 350z but from a distance it looks like an intercooler. Let me know.

my friend had one on his civic.

i havent heard of any of these for the 350Z. you would probably lose a lot of torque due to the long piping. if you want a front mount with out being force inducted, you can get an Arc oil cooler which is a small front mount. looks pretty good.

its nothing like you pulling up at the spot or some where and someone seeing your "FMIC" and go.. nice... is that turbo? and you go .. no.. its a CAI or a Oil Cooler.. true car enthusiast are going to look at your like you are stupid and walk away..

you can't afford a turbo.. buy an intake... and tell people how you love your intake.. don't act like you have something you don't
