I've actually seen that port in a 350Z. I too believe it may not be car specific.

There is no point in this, I cut a bigger hole right where the perforation is at the beginning of the nose, I can hear the intake(stock) sucking so much harder now. An aftermarket hole is not needed imo.

this mod is to lower the air temp at the intake.
somebody posted a log of intake temps between an afe and air raid intake, something like 15 degrees difference at the maf.
this would allow a much cooler air charge to reach the snorkle or filter depending on the intake you are running.

This is not necessary if you are using the snorkel to funnel air into the intake (be it stock or aftermarket).

There is no problem with the stock snorkel or its location.

Yes it will lower the intake temp, But it will also makes the car run like crap.

you can't tell me that this won't lower intake temps. You really believe the stock s orkle laying in front of the radiator/ on top of the bumper beam is pulling the coolest intake charge possible?????:confused0068:

During the conditions you would WANT lower intake temps (ie moving) the heat from the radiator does not enter the snorkel because it is blown back into the engine bay. The only air it would be inhaling is cool air from the front air dam. Think about it please.

They have high speed dyno fans for wind simulation.

I've done temperature testing at the intake level on several intakes. The AIRAID is marketed as a CAI and was much hotter than the AFE which extends further towards the bumper hole.

This was done in 3rd on the freeway. Now imagine an SRI that sits even further back toward the motor.

*DISCLAIMER* this is just for comparison purposes, I am not trying to say the AFE is the best intake EVAR!

air raid uses the stock snorkle i beleive.
