Thanks! It's slowly coming to an end. Ada is just over 6 months pregnant. Kinda why I'm trying to get as much as possible before Layden arrives.
Speaking of which... Went with the Z1 Silicone Post-MAF Intake & PVC Hoses instead of the Stillen intakes. Kinda want to keep the engine-bay looking stock. However about to order the M370 intake and Swift springs.

Well the Z1 Motorsports intake and PVC hoses don't fit. Especially the PVC hoses. They are not bend nor cut to fit correctly at all. Very poor design. I have emailed them on my options so will see how their customer service it. Disappointed and frustrated right now.

Once again Import Parts Pro comes through! I tell ya... IPP has to be my #1 vendor!!! I sent Brett an email and going back and forth I got a great deal on the R2C MaxxFlow intakes in black nickel chrome finish. Should be here Tuesday. Now to return Z1's bs hoses.

What was wrong with the Z1 tubes?
I have the Mishimoto's w/aFe Pro S drop-in filters and they fit perfectly fine.

The Post MAF Hoses, you have to use a lot of force to get them on. He may have not known that and did not think too put more force. After you get them on they are good and seal nice and tight!

That post right there certainly caused about 30 minutes of internet research without any solid consensus yet.
The walk-away that did pique my curiosity were the claims of a small loss at peak (2-3 hp), sacrificed for a larger gain under the curve (10-12 hp). If that's the case, then it's a win. Either way, certainly a mod worth additional research.
Thanks for the heads-up, Robert. Feel free to discuss this IM in more depth.
