So I've been researching through countless of threads and everyone generally leans towards keeping a stock air-box with a K&N drop in... Right... I needed to change it up a bit; perfectly summed up in this term...

"Home Depot Racing"

And before I get tons of criticism. a little about myself. i work part-time, go to a cal state full-time and pay all of my bills on my own behalf.... so please don't chew my a$$ up, for the lack of mutual respect i owe my car =]

I had no cash to stab a whole in my front bumper so i decided to find out how to re-route air from outside the car into my stock air-box....
Long Story short... i got an air-duct + aluminum tape to drive air into the box..

CHECK IT!





It looks ghetto.... but low end i feel a difference.... AND NO ITS NOT PERMANENT.
Lemme know what you think....

 

you feel more low end power? Negative chief.

 

Hey not to be an *******, but that is G-H-E-T-T-O. Just leave it stock

 

+1 That's a honda civic style.

 

well you could have spray painted it? couldn't you have.

 

no, that would of cost an extra 3 bucks for spray paint. He would of went over his budget.

 

pretty good idea mate, i will device something like this also

how can you pay for a Z and yet not have enough money for a mod as simple as a pop charger?

 

I agree it looks ghetto, but nice mod

 

good work, +1 for you. but id say cut it so that the opening is opening down towards the pavement and above the grill area. that way you'll get the same amount of air (i promise) and you wont be able to see it

 

omg..

 

I plan on fabricating a fiberglass intake duct that is very similar to that.

 

Pray for our sins and forgive trespassers who trespass and stuff like that.

 

how expensive did think it was to cut a duct in your bumper? here is the cheapest one ive seen thats pretty clean for being free:

BWAAAAAAA HAAAA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA!

holy crap man................LMFAO, thanks, i was falling asleep over here.



edit - i did something similar with my old Maxima, but it was black ducting and you couldn't see it.

 

I bought this and fitting is great! No bumper cutting for me!!

I would have left it stock if I were you.


But I'm not you, so do what you want.


The "low end power" is all in your mind though.

 

you do realize that the Z's intake system is a cold air intake to start with right? You are actually restricting airflow IMO.
