What do you think about my COLD AIR INTAKE setup? :D
I modified PPE one off my TRD MR-S, it came out well! 
Here are some of the pictures that my brother took while I was working on it today.
Let me know what you guys think about it!

umm not an expert on this but, i believe that might be restricting air coming into your cai? cai's don't only suck in air coming in through the cut out but also air running through your engine bay all over the place. I believe it sucks in air all around and by doing that your actually constricting it. but i guess it guarantees your not sucking in hot air sooo... i dono haha. Looks pretty cool though gj

I was going to use the Stillen Intake System with JWT Pop Charger Air Filter only but I really like this setup. If there is nothing wrong with it, haha. It sounds great too.

except an airbox allows air to get into the filter, that thing is a sleeve that looks like it is defeating the purpose of the filter. but whatever, it is his car and when it possible develops problems down the road, i am sure we will be the first to hear about it in another thread

Not really, this thing has plenty of air flow volumes inside the heat shield for the air filter when you attach them together. This intake system is not something I picked up from the walmart and weld it in an hour.
It was originally designed for a MR-S by PPE so it can suck the cold air from the side vent. Check out their website @ http://www.ppeengineering.com/mrsintakes.htm
I just took off the piping part and made the new flange to fit the Z.
