I think it did
Im running a Invidia Gemini setup. Its hard to explain but it has a more pronounced growl to it. There is no rasp to it which is what I want. I cant stand RICER RASP:tongue (2):. The exhaust note is more pronounced. I need to do a sound clip but keep forgetting to do one.:sluggish:KinghSingh

would it be possibly to use the fujita tube with the stillen intake box? I would assume it is possible if you cut the fujita and use the accordion piece and connect to the stillen box. Any thoughts... pointless ? I have the GT spec front engine brace, so I wanted to add some shine and the stillen z-tube doesn't do the trick.

My fujita tube is Chrome and not that copper color. I think it will work well with the gt spec bar considering that's Chrome too.
Get a polished z-tube. UTR makes one for the FX (Img from g35driver: http://g35driver.com/forums/attachm...1276450021-chrome-utr-z-tube-popcharger-4.jpg)

I thought those weren't in production anymore??? Thanks for the help by the way.
True they are not but you can probably get a generic one from autozone and make it work... I think other members have went that route

Spectre performance has them (polished intake tubes) as well.

Here I used to have a Spectre Performance tube with Stillen CAI

Here is another one. I suggest to get 3"x3" silicone coupler or 3" hump coupler for better connection. I had a 2"x3" and it came off one time.

la_fx35 your set up looked very nice !! I currently have the z-tube installed, if I go with the spectre performance tube will it still have the same benefits as the z-tube...would you say better, would it make the growl of the stillen different, and did you run into any issues with heat??? I'd really like to hear your thoughts about it, i'd like to opt for that option if it has no issues, could you pm me with more details about the exact parts needed to work?
thanks for all the help guys.

The fujita is a good intake but on the stillen intake it wouldn't be prone to as much heat as for its made of plastic/rubber as compared to the metal tubing of the fujita.
So.... Stillen is a better CAI than Fujita?

The stillen utilizes the powerduct coming from the front grill. Sucking in fresher air as to the fujita sucking in hot engine bay air.
This is the 3"x3" silicone coupler I use; http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-76mm-3-Pl...ccessories&hash=item2c5f7fb51e#ht_4933wt_1081
As for if the Spectre sounds any difference from the Stillen Z-tube? I have now clue since I never install the Z-tube that came with my Stillen CAI. As for heat soaked air, I did not have any problem at all. I had an opportunity to speak with a couple of guys that design and manufacture intake. They said that the air travel so quick in there that heat is negligible that they don't even concern of it.

With the stillen intake and z-tube now installed, i've noticed the loss of the hollow stock exhaust tone in lower rpm range? I definitely hear a much more aggressive growl in 3-5 range, but I miss the hollow tone, would the addition of the MD plenum spacer further change the tone?
I noticed the image still showed for G35, M35 and 350Z. But there was a link to the FX35 CAI that Drucula provided. Just wanted to point that out in case anyone was going to order it. But this looks sick...I had a Fujita in my S2000 and it was awesome...loved it.
heres the right link and if i recall no they do not exactly match up right

I had no problems with the install. Everything went together fine with no clearance issues. Here is a picture of the box with the part #
