Is a 350z Cold Air Intake Worth It?įor most Nissan 350z owners, performance gains are typically more important than ease of installation or price. This usually reduces horsepower and torque which is the opposite of what you want.įor this reason, we really prefer cold air intakes, or 350z “CAI” systems over short ram intakes. It’s our view that cold air intakes are superior to short ram intakes, that’s why we only list cold air intakes in this guide. The problem is, short ram intakes suck engine heat into your intake system. It’s usually closer to your engine with the theory being that more air can reach your engine, faster. Cooler air brings more oxygen into the combustion chamber, which makes more power.Ī short ram intake replaces your factory intake with a new, smoother pipe and faster flowing air filter. That way, the cooler air can be sucked into the engine for combustion. It places the air filter as far from the heat of the engine as possible-typically in the fender of a car or under one of the sides of the engine. What Is the Difference Between Cold Air Intake and Short Ram Intake?Ī cold air intake is designed to draw in as much cold air as possible, helping to allow your car to breathe easier. This article will guide you though everything you need to know about intake systems, and help you choose the best cold air intake for your Nissan 350z.

They’re also easier to install than most 350z exhaust systems, and usually don’t require professional assistance, which makes them one of the most affordable mods. They can however, still add a small bump in horsepower and ft/lb of torque to your car’s performance. Generally speaking, upgraded cold air intakes don’t cost as much as exhaust modifications. We have seen with time that the weight of the carburetor bodies can cause the intake manifold rubber to split from the mounting flange.Looking to increase the power of your Nissan 350z? Installing an aftermarket cold air intake system can be a great place to start.ĭespite being a cheap modification, an upgraded 350z air intake will often increase horsepower while also improving fuel economy. If you are running pod filter it is recommended to fabricate a hanging support that holds the carburetors up and takes the weight of them off the the intake manifolds. Installation Tip: The manifolds were designed to be used in conjunction with factory style air filters to support the carburetors from both the front and back.
NOTE: These parts DO NOT fit the following motorcycles:
These manifolds are sold individually, and include the same die cut mounting gasket included in our service gasket kit. Swap out your Honda C元50 / S元50 / CB350 intake manifolds with a fresh set and finish up the job with our stainless steel manifold clamps and enjoy a better running bike. Without being able to properly control the airflow into your bike means you'll never get it tuned right. The original manifolds on these bikes are prone to cracking and hardening which causes air leaks. Why You Need This Part: These are often referred to as intake manifolds, insulator, carburetor boots, isolators, carb holders, intake pipes, or carb flanges.
