Would this intake be bad for my car?

Can I get any feedback on this from you G37 owners?

I think the brand might be called Blue lol. OP, if you're on a tight budget then these would be perfect:

Z1 Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses

Also, look into adding the KN drop ins.

I would not trust that intake in my car. If they won't give you a brand for this intake, it's more than likely that this intake may damage your MAF sensors or damage other components in your car. Just save up and get an intake you can trust.

That is definitely not a cold air intake. This is what is considered a short ram intake. The thing i would worry the most about is the filter element. Poorly made filter could cause your engine to draw in dirt or restrict your engine from breathing freely.

If you want performance improvement, I would stay away from this. You'll probably end up losing power.

If you just want some sound improvement, this might work, but you're placing your engine at risk.

Looks like a Takeda short ram intake knock off design. Rather than you having to search all over to see if there are proven gains or not, there aren't. The short ram design (especially without any type of heat shield) doesn't seem to make power like the cold air (Stillen, Takeda Cold Air, Injen) do, at least not without a proper tune. You're buying it for the sound over anything.

I always say you get what you pay for... If it's too good to be true it usually is

I left the stock air box coupled with the silicone tubing...

I wouldn't touch those things...

BUT...I have a pair of the short RAM takedas in excellent shape that I will sell for a really good price...nothing wrong w/ them, just prefer the efficieny of my current set up vs. the growl from the takedas. Plus, no one but me ever looks at my engine, so no use in being pretty...
