Optimize Intake Velocity and Sound for your Nissan 350Z VQ35DE
Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z owners running the VQ35DE engine who want to improve throttle response and get that signature V6 growl without the factory restrictions.
The Problem: The VQ35DE is a legendary power plant, but it’s held back by a restrictive factory air box and a corrugated "accordion" intake tube. This design creates massive air turbulence and is prone to heat soak, effectively choking the engine’s ability to breathe during spirited driving or track sessions.
The Solution: We engineered this system to replace the narrow OEM path with high-flow T304 lightweight aluminum piping. By smoothing the transition to the throttle body and using a dedicated heat-shielding approach, we provide the VQ35DE with a consistent stream of cooler, denser air for better combustion and immediate power delivery.
Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade
-
Enhanced Airflow Dynamics: The mandrel-bent T304 aluminum piping eliminates the internal turbulence found in the stock rubber bellows, resulting in up to a 10% increase in horsepower and torque.
-
Premium Filtration: Features a high-flow red air filter that is fully washable and reusable. With a 50,000-mile service interval, you’ll never have to buy a restrictive paper filter again.
-
Plug-and-Play Fitment: This is a true bolt-on kit. It’s compatible with both automatic and manual transmissions and installs in under 60 minutes using standard hand tools—no ECU tuning required to see immediate gains.
