Default Need an opinion on what to do with my Gruppe M intake.

I posted this in the intake forum with very a small response, I just need some more opinions.



Ok , I had the Gruppe M Intake in the Z well as most of you know it ended up rubbing a hole into my A/C lines. So im going to fix them in a few days, so here I need a opinion:
a. Do I re-install the Gruppe M intake, and insulate the lines? (Also what do you recommend I put around these a/c lines? So I won't have this problem again)

or

b. Do I go buy another intake that I won't have any issues with? What do you recommend besides Gruppe M, for intakes? (I was thinking Nismo Cold air).

Thanks for your help!!!

ps Another Z member recommended the Injen sd1986 intake..
Your Thoughts???

Well, you allready have the inteake, if it yields good results id try to keep it in there. but if its an issue, then just get a pop charger or somethign.

Try to renforce the line. I put some heavy duty tape on mine. See if you could get a metal sleave on it to make it harder to rub open. I have th Popcharger and had the samething happen. Did a lil repositioning and just check it on a regular.

You should just give me the intake. hahahahaha

No seriously, get some rubber hose from Home Depot (about $1.00) and cut it down the middle. Slide it over your a/c lines and you are set.

Isn't that like a $2000 intake? Dam, that sucks. I hear Injen has this problem too. But I checked for any rubbing and found none.
