Titek Ram Air Duct
 
http://www.fluidmotorsports.com/p-97...r-styling.aspx
(5th one down)
Hey does any body know some one or use this product themselves? Did a search with no luck, I kinda like the way it looks and its cheaper than the RB Duct. Any opinions on the matter? Considering using with the K&N to help with intake temps, i know the k&n has higher intake temps, no need to flame me. Just considering all my options.

i dont think this serves the same purpose as the rb duct i believe its more cosmetic than functional but i could be wrong as im not sure of this but id go with rb

Ross_Dawg 09-08-2009 05:52 PM

umm... 2 completely different items. The RB duct scoops air from the front bumper grille and looks very stealth. The ricer 350z ram air duct cuts a hole in your front bumper. RB = $130 Titek = $95. Easy choice lol

I don't recall what our OEM intake pieces look like but if you were to install this in your bumper and made sure the air actually flowed into the intake box via whichever method (opening directly into hole in front of box IIRC) then this would be functional. I really don't remember what the OEM intake box looks like, I'm merely trying to emphasize that this mod can be effective/is not only for vanity.

I agree with rossdawg on the pricing, you will also need to cut your OEM bumper for the inlet.

i don't think it's ricey if it's done right. deedub had it and it looked fresh.. but the duct is better

So Gr8bullet, this is actually a functional piece on your car? What kind of intake are you running with it? Like so far?
Thanx for the pics too, helps give me an idea how mine might look.

Gr8Bullet 09-08-2009 06:43 PM

lol look at my sig and avatar. I dunno what hes running with his intake but i saw it at a meet (27 rx8's) we had back in april. no problem tho with the pics.

911RN 09-08-2009 07:02 PM

i think if you have a k&n it MIGHT be functional to a certain extent with the oem box DEFINITELY now coz the vfad cuts it off unless you remove it but looking at the design its almost surely not as functional as the rb

NgoRX8 09-08-2009 07:38 PM

both the ram air duct and the titek divert the outside air toward the intake box. have a tunnel for the titek through the intake hole and its basically the same. just a more direct draw of air.

the difference would be the amount of dirt that gets into your engine bay and on the filter. considering the ram air duct is designed to reduce that.

IMO the Leg Motor Sport version looks way better

awsome! pic Ricky...

Gr8Bullet 09-09-2009 12:01 PM

lol its kinda blurry zumn....

I wanted this when I had my 350 and I still totally want it on my 8. IMO it would look a lot better on that red car without the chrome pins holding it in, I would prefer black to keep it a little more low-profile.

chino0314 09-14-2009 07:37 AM

I think it only looks good if yu have a debadged front bumper

E.M.S. 09-14-2009 01:58 PM

Look cool and functional if lined up right. Plus your avatar is sweet :)

I am still debating on getting one myself.

911RN 09-14-2009 11:20 PM

Thanx EMS
