It looks like it goes in front of the radiator, which is good it will pull more cold air in, but how easy is this kind of installation

Me want one!!!!!

It looks good and goes in front of the radiator. The install should not be hard just pull current airboc and route tube through hole. It seems it would not be too hard.

WHERE can I get one.

its a CAI meaning it goes down low away from the engine, where it can get cold air. USSUALLY this means you lose low end power since it has to draw air through the long pipe. but that doesnt appear to be the case here... very unussual.

things to be worried about is hydrolock, where water from a puddle or something splashes onto the filter and you potentially suck water up into your engine, not good. but this is just a standard problem, dont drive through deep puddles with a CAI.

Don't CAIs usually come with some sort of shut off plate for the heavy rain, etc? I know my fiance's did for his Camaro. Sometimes that's really needed to avoid that nasty hydrolock, especially for a daily driver.

Some do, AEM sells such a valve, but if you look that area is pretty closed off except for the front so unless you go into a puddle nose first, in which case you have more problems than water in your intake, it should not be a problem. Also if you use a K&N type filter the oil will prvent minor water from getting through like from rain.

Thanks for the info! I would really like cold air for my Z, and that blue would look GREAT in my car! I'll just make sure to use the K&N (b/c I've used them on every vehicle I've ever owned) and watch out for those questionable water puddles.

yeah and they ussually do but the worry is with minor amounts of splashing wetting down the filter. its rare, but it can happen. thats why cai arent just "the thing" to have and short ram intakes are also common. warmer air from the engine bay, but no chance of water, and its still a larger smoother straighter pipe that hopefully pulls air from a cooler portion of the engine bay

Looking at the video - it seems as if they had to remove the front strut tower bar in order to make that thing fit - Personally I would not sacrifise handling for a minor (4hp) gain....

Good eye, I hadn't seen that , lets see how they handle that, hopefully not removing the bar.

Default Good catch, I was just about to ask where did the front strut go?

If I can't put my strut back, I don't think I want it!!!

They will probably release an aftermarket fstb to match this CAI if they cant get the oem one back on. My guess anyway...

I dont think so... they probably just installed it and put it on the dyno for a run.



the stock intake is way bigger than that one. it should be no problem fitting the brace.
