But it does not fit right. Maybe I can change the Coupler at the TB. and make it straight.:wub:

That is the correct way. The angles would be all wrong if you do it backwards. Plus, the Hose on top will not reach. I saw your picture, and i though you may have installed yours backwards.
now Im confused, I have compared the UTR tube from GTO-dave and Babaluwee and they both have the small tube on the bottom (just like the Stillen Z-tube I have now).
Here are some pics to compare...

I still haven't installed the CF tube, waiting for the Hump coupler. I will try to install it like yours to see, but as you can see, all the pics looks different from yours.
I just changed mine around. I still think it fit beter befor because of the Angled Coupler at the TB. Here are the resaults.
It does look right now
Ya, I believe a straight hump coupler would be needed, like GTO-daves.

My little tube is on the bottom. Weird why it would be any diff, cuz the little hose is pretty short, right?

Not sure if this helps or not. I'll try to take a better shot of the CF UTR tube. This was a shot I took of the CF engine cover.
I simply used the stock coupler. Didn't have any problem with clearance.

Yours fits better because of the Accordion peace at the bottom.

Yes. Exactly. That was what I meant by the stock coupler. I believe I could have also gotten a hump hose to work but haven't really had the time - or motivation I suppose - to try.

That's not for the FX though. The front part of that intake sits flush with the air ways of the G35. It will probably be short in the FX plus look at the orientation of the small outlet on the tube. If you have fabrication skills, you can probably build a route from the stock air ways of FX to the filter in this one but I don't think it's worth the effort..

installed the CF intake with the new coupler (I also cut off about 1 inch from the tube)

I remember that bar. Must be wrapped, huh?
Very cool looking . . . but I thought it was never produced. Where are you coming up with this stuff?

yes its wrapped, I was just experimenting w/ a new 3d CF "vinyl" . It doesn't color match too well with the other CF pieces but the pattern looks identical. I may leave it on or take it off and paint the bar... (was thinking of other areas to wrap...but its really hard to wrap, i learn that redoing my clear bra
)here is a sample image of the CF wrap:
