I've done the pedal thing. Honestly, disconnecting the battery is way easier, especially when it doesn't really clear any of your settings. The only thing you need to do is your windows, which takes 30 seconds. The pedal method can take many tries if you're not exact.

Pictures.
And you know what? These worm-clamps are bugging me. I need to get some SS T-bolts.

I disconnected the battery last night. 18 hours later, I reconnected and reset the windows. Strangely enough, the radio presets did *not* disappear. That was odd. Then I drove it around hard for 20 minutes in lower gears and heavy acceleration, to bed-in a new driving behavior.
While that was fun and all, it seems about the same to me. Oh well.

It's been over a week now since installing the intakes. Here's some follow-up.
I've removed and reinstalled the intakes a number of times trying to tweak the fitment just right. I'm using larger washers and nyloc nuts on the bolts to the heat shields, and that really helped.
The whole thing is really quite stunning looking, IMO. And I'm still very happy with the look. However, I'd like to replace the couplings at the throttle bodies with a couplings that are black instead of dull gray, and use some SealthClamps instead of the SS worm clamps it came with. Also, I wrapped the MAF wiring in larger wire loom, which is a cleaner look than OEM.
My first impressions on power and noise were underwhelming. Butt-dyno said "meh", and the noise was far less than I was hoping for. Pretty disappointed, actually. So I disconnected the battery overnight to reset the ECU. Hooked everything back up the next day, and same-as same-old. Then a few days ago I removed my hood liner, and now the noise seems just about perfect. Much happier.
And just today I swear I have this perception that the car has more grunt and throttle response than I'm used do. IDK what's different or what's taken so long, but is it possible that after resetting the ECU, it's been relearning how I've been driving the car a little harder lately, and adjusting accordingly?
Anyway... one week later, and I'm much happier than I was the day after.

John, glad you're happier w/ the noise-maker, sounds like you're finding its' sweet spot. I think once you get some exhaust mods you'll really be happy.
It really is nice looking in there, and I'd imagine w/ a few clamp upgrades it'll make a nice difference.
I was thinking about trying the hood insulator removal but after hearing that it may be for paint protection I'm having second thoughts. My black paint gets hot enough & coupled w/ the hot VQ I'd better not push it.

The 370Z doesn't have a hood liner. Same company, same engine, same paint. So in that context, the liner is for sound deadening only. Can't see any other explanation.
