Q50/Q60 3.0t Cold Air Intake System

The Z1 Motorsports Q50/Q60 3.0t Cold Air Intake System is engineered to enhance the performance of your Infiniti Q50 Sedan or Q60 Coupe by significantly increasing airflow over the stock system. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for turbocharged engines, as reducing restrictions in the air intake allows the turbochargers to operate more efficiently, leading to cooler, denser air delivery to the engine and supporting higher horsepower applications. This system addresses restrictions in the factory intake by replacing the stock corrugated rubber piping with smooth, multi-ply silicone hoses, which minimize intake turbulence and improve airflow. It includes two newly engineered air filters, designed specifically for the Nissan 3.0t engine. These filters utilize high-density media to effectively capture particulates while maintaining high airflow. Additionally, an integrated velocity stack at the filter base optimizes airflow and increases air velocity as it enters the turbochargers. Installation of this cold air intake system is described as an easy-to-install performance upgrade, though some users have noted that the installation can be challenging, particularly on the passenger side, and may require careful alignment of clamp screws. Despite the potential installation difficulty, the overall consensus is that the improved power and response make the effort worthwhile.
