Hey everyone, just got my intake installed today and wanted to give everyone a little sound sample...

this is the first engine mod I have done so far, with many more to come, this is a Dual Short Ram Fujita intake, on my 08 G37. I haven't tuned it or anything yet but i can already feel some difference in the torque, it has a nice pull to it!

sorry for the video quality went bad after i emailed it from my iphone to my computer.

leave some feedback and let me know what you think, thanks!

 

Hmmm....they didn't come with heat shields?

Congrats on your install. Looks clean.

 

Congrats man. Looks good and sounds good. I just recently installed my Gen3's so I feel your excitement!

 

thanks, and no heat shields but my buddy who helped me install told me it's a MUST and not to drive to crazy until i get some...

 

Oh thank god the R2C comes with heat shield and its black nickle chrome!!!!! cann't wait. Did you unplug your battery overnight? does it make a difference if you do or don't.

 

I would never install a intake with no heat shields.

 

Your buddy is way too silly. It will hurt nothing to drive around without heat shields, thousands of cars have done just that for decades. The shields will help to feed cooler air into the intakes when the car is motionless and at low speeds, but after you start moving the car's forward motion will force large amounts of ambient air into the engine compartment (and into the intake filters). I have measured the air temperature in the engine compartment while driving, and in 70*F weather the temp near where the filters would be was about 3* to 4*F above ambient....not enough to worry about. Air flow through the engine compartments of most modern cars is far better than folks believe. I'm certainly not saying that "cold air intakes" have no value, but they are far from mandatory for improved performance. Because they usually cost more than non-CAIs, some folks think they have more value than they actually do.
