The 3 on the passengers side need to be "hung" in the manifold bolt holes before you place it onto the engine....FYI

Sorrrrry...being a dumbass. Saw 8 holes and forgot about the 2 nuts on the end to make up the other 2 holes. They just looked a lot smaller diameter than the stock bolt size. Thought I might have been missing a bracket or something.

let me know what you think of that plenum.

I want one, I just don't know when to fit it into the mix.

Well....installed it last night. It has a pretty throaty sound above 4000 rpm's.
It seems to make pretty good power in the higher rpm's. It does pull harder than my APS plenum. It does look good as well....good bling factor. Welds are beautiful and install was very straightforward. Oh...almost forgot....it has more torque....down low before 3500 rpm's that's where it pulls the best. This does not surprise me....longer runners with this plenum.

It sits quite low. I am not sure if it would fit. I have seen a few 350z's with this manifold but none seem to have their bars on. Maybe someone else can chime in.

How do you like your SP 1986 Injen intake? Did you have the 1985 version? I have the 1985 version and am about to order the new SP 1986 version from Coz. I like how it does away with the OEM MAF mounting part still used in the original version.
