New AMS intake?

[FSUZ33]

Is this new, or have I completely missed it for 5 months. Maybe It was under Infiniti and they recently adapted it for the Z. Looks like only the brackets are different.

80mm (3”) and has sleeves for stock diameter MAF. Currently $400, with the B6A at $350. Not sure if the B6A comes with brackets and/or hardware. None shown in their pics.

First seeing this as well- thanks for the post. Nice to see options for 3” setup.

The gains referenced is based on a a 500+HP Q60 on E70. i would like to see a dyno on a 91/93 turned stock z. i assume the Z’s smaller turbo will not see this level of gains?

approx. gains of 5-6% from the dyno shown, So maybe ~15-20hp on stock Z w/ tune?

I like the brackets, and would choose this over the B6A if that one doesn’t have brackets, but AMS’s MAF tubes AND inserts are subpar in my opinion. B6A’s are machined aluminum and AMS’s are thin walled flared pcs of steel and aluminum tube. Don’t like the foam tape on the AMS inserts either. Brackets look good, and I’m sure the AMS kit accomplishes what it needs to accomplish, but those MAF tubes seem subpar-AMS quality to me.

Unsure if others are making this shorty/non-housed design, hence only mentioning AMS and B6A.

i have b6a, there are no brackets. the silicone coupler that goes from the maf housing to the turbo is pretty thick and holds things solidly in place. Brackets are a nice addition though for extra security!

got them installed yesterday, sound great.

intake air temps are for sure higher but they sound great
