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.

Glad you got a deal on the R2C.
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!

Thanks gents. It was more the PVC hoses than the intake hoses. However the intake hoses were about a full inch longer than the OEM tubes.

Motordyne M370 in... Oh and WTF Infiniti/Nissan! You are the first automaker to use 12mm bolts/nuts. My R2C intakes should be here Wednesday.

What's your impression on the M370? Always been curious about it since it's supposed to improve the low end. Can you still run the stock engine cover with it, or do you have to use the little plate they give you?

LOL I swear more and more just look at pictures and not read the comments. That is how my car is sitting right now. I haven't driven the car as I am waiting for my intakes to arrive.

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.
