Nice! It comes in Black too!

At least they aren't claiming a 15 HP gain like most air intake kits.

So who's gonna be the first one to pull the trigger?

Tried and tested already^

Rating are from 8th gens though, so I'm a little skeptical.

I'm waiting for the short ram

Not me.....waiting on Eibachs first...

Is short ram for a throatier sound?

I prefer short ram for the flood rains here. I would hate to have a cold air and drive through a road and have my intake auck water in engine.

exactly ^^

short ram does have a slight throatier sound, and costs less

Short rams tend to have heat soak and make less HP.

Backwards, true cai's def have a better sound then short rams...and way less heat soak.

Is there a video? I want to hear the sound.. Even though mine is i4

Usually a short ram intake would be louder, since the pipe is shorter in length and closer to the throttle body. A cold air intake isn't much quieter, but might sound a little less deep due to the air traveling a farther distance in the pipe and the pipe almost acting as a resonator.

For i4, if short ram was avail., would it be better if the front air scoop is left on and the duct that goes to the stock intake box be left on but remove the top part to put short ram intake? So some cold air travel to the short ram?

Sounds right on paper...don't quote me but I think the louder sound is actually due to the longer mental pipe, allowing more of an "echo" effect.

My g35 coupe initially had a short ram, which sounded good for sure, but when I switched to a true I ken CAI it sounded like a god damn lion was under my hood...and I got back that loss of torque I would feel if the car got to hot...

True, they are in the engine bay as opposed to the cold air version; however, this "extra" horsepower is doubtfully anything you will actually feel.

Agree, for the I4 it would be nice to pair up a SRI with a scoop. Not sure if the V6 crowd has the luxury of doing that.

:yes:

The V6 could utilize the scoop, but would need the filter to lay behind the headlight housing.

Until its 100 degrees and the factory ECU pulls timing for underhood intakes and the heat they accumulate....
