If you own a 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z 3.5L V6, you know that performance is key. The HPS Black Short Ram Air Intake with heat shield is designed specifically for your Z, offering a straightforward upgrade that delivers real-world performance gains. With a free-flowing 3" mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system, this intake provides a dyno-proven boost of +10 Whp and +9.8 Ft/lbs of torque, all while maintaining a safe air-fuel ratio.
The heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield effectively blocks engine heat, maximizing the cooling effect and ensuring that your intake remains efficient even during spirited drives.

Worried about installation? Don't be. The HPS intake kit comes with a detailed manual featuring clear pictures and step-by-step instructions, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts.

One owner noted, "After installing the HPS short ram intake, my throttle response improved dramatically, and I could feel the extra power on the highway." Another added, "The installation was straightforward, and it fits perfectly without any modifications."
