Couldn't agree with you more!

The R2c intakes are the best short ram there is. I'm no fanboy. I'm stating my opinion as are others. I have the Stillen Gen 3 on my sedan.

Yea that's how I read it, furthermore if you've read infiniti's VVEL doc where it talks about the value of having air intake controlled by VVEL vs the throttle bodies due to distance one would deduce short tubes to be better then long tubes as well. The key is to ensure laminar flow over the MAF sensor so the ECU's not baffled by turbulance as it controls VVEL, injector pulse and timing.
