Don't ya know that the second air duct adds about 8 horsepower?? haha!! Don't like it....might look a little better if they were painted the same color as the bumper, not carbon fiber...otherwise two's a crowd.

I don't think that you will be able to buy two and fit it as it is angled and when you flip it around it will stick out at the top.

You guys are killing me...

Yes, the thought was for the 07 (hence the title)

No, obviously you wouldn't use the exact same duct for both sides.. a new one would need to be created and may very well be done.

I would imagine this would be pretty easy to do. I could probably do it with fiberglass. I have never worked with carbon fiber before. Hmm I may make a few and see what kind of interest there is.

Well pick on me all you want. A fact is a fact. Not that many 03 - 06 Z owners know much about the 07 Z. I for one didn't know the 07 Z had dual intakes until I saw a picture of an 07 that someone posted about 2 weeks ago. It's just one of those things that whether you know it or not. It's not common sense or anything like that. I don't want to hijack the thread and start a dumb argument here. So I won't reply to your comments against me anymore. Have a wonderful day.

lmao so if you knew the 07s had Dual Intakes 2 weeks ago there's no reason you should have posted such a newb question yesterday

And if you add a third duct in the middle you will get air flow to the part of the radiator that is not getting it now.

Isn't there a bumper that looks like that?

I never liked the way the duct unbalanced the symetry of the front end, but it's ok, functionality-wise. Two looks balanced, but also makes the front look a bit too busy.

On the '07, I'd go with something more stealth like the ducts Evo-R offers that draw air from the grill opening and feed the intake. I wonder if that duct would work on both sides with little effort?

This is the one I'm talking about:

Uh.. so I knew 2 weeks ago that the 07 has 2 intakes. Then I see a picture of twin ducts on the front bumper and I made an obvious statement saying "Wouldn't it work well for the 07?". You really think I "asked" Have you ever heard of something called a rhetorical question? Save your comments noob. Okay, I said I wouldn't comment anymore. Let me stop this non-sense here.
