z-tube installation instructions

[platinum G]

Need help. Is there a place where I can print off intructions on how to install a z-tube on my '03 G35 coupe?

Pretty much a no-brainer, just pull the old one off, and pop in the new one - one end to the Throttle body, the other to the airbox, and plug in the air bypass hose to the body, like where you had to pull it off the one from the G.

OK. I'm a little slow, but is there any parts that are removed because the z-tube is longer than the current tube. Does the mass air flow sensor and it's housing stay attached to the air box?

just take it apart and you will see.
i am no genious mechanic - but i did this as the sun was setting with no directions in about 15 minutes. (and i could have doen it much faster)

You are right. Did it in 15 between talking on the forum and going back to the car. I think it is on right. Gonna go drive it now to make sure the car doesn't blow up. I'm a banker, not a mechanic so let's hope for the best! Thanks for your help!!

LOL - so i guess it went ok? oo you must still be out driving next to walls listening to that exhaust

All went well MSB. I DID feel a power difference especially after 4000 rpm. To my surprise though, not much sound difference. I've heard others say that there is much more "growl" under the hood with the z-tube, but I haven't noticed much sound change. All in all the best $72 you can spend for a quick modjavascript:emoticon('')
Very Happy
