Installing HPS Silicone Intake Pipes on the Z
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- The stock intake pipes on the Z are made out of plastic and rubber, which will wear and degrade over time. I’ve experienced that happen to my Honda and I replaced all of those hoses in my engine bay with ones from HPS. They will not break down like rubber hoses and are essentially lifetime items. I did the same thing with my 240 by replacing the cracking old hoses with new ones, and wanted to do the same thing with my Z.
The stock intake pipes are restrictive and also feature an intake resonator on each pipe. This kit replaces the OEM restrictive rubber accordian intake tubes, which improve air flow and reduce heat soak while keeping the stock well-designed air box. With the stock air-box intact, you can replace the air filters with OEM ones to keep the cost of maintenance down, or you can replace them with upgraded drop in filters ▶︎ goo.gl/uxzAum
Without any re-tuning, the HPS intake hose delivers dyno-proven performance gains +6.77 Whp, +6.38 Ft/lbs. Includes stainless steel t-bolt clamps for easy installation.

I'm so hyped you got a Z. Now it's like I have my own personal mechanic teaching me about my car lol
AHahah I love it!!
On the passenger side intake (4:45 mark) is how I found that best way to do in my 2014 INFINITI Q50. It was way more difficult than I had expected i.e. the silicone is very difficult to bend as you stated!!
Very interesting mod I didn't know that intakes on the z's are so restrictive you actually save hundreds with these silicone tubes instead of going with cold air intakes
I clean my throttle body before putting the silicones in. There was some gunk. I’ve had my g37x for a while now but it’s good to do that before putting in the silicones
Great vid Milan, thanks 👍👍 it may be worth dipping the ends of the hose in hot water for a minute next time to soften the silicone first, it may help with the fitting as they become more malleable, it’s a trick we engineers use for fitting stiff machine belts, etc. The Z sounds great by the way, very jealous 😜😜 just make sure that the speedo doesn’t get in the vid as some busy body will notify police and they can fine you for speeding 👍👍👍👍 keep up the great work buddy, it’s brilliant. 😜👍
Hmmmm sounds niiiiice... I’ll be getting some for my baby +K&N filters. Nice video, thanks mate!
Another banger👌 keep up the great work bud
Thanks brother!! 👊
I work on infiniti's and i watch you work on the z and im like its easier to go this route and then you switch it up and go the route i was thinking hahaha i love these videos
I've ra fb threads that won't do much but I do like that it will do the resonator delete on the goses
Love the Z you inspire me to detail my parents cars and work harder
Christian Sanchez lmfaoooooo “inspire,” 😂😂😂 what a fuckin nerd holy shit!!
Joey Arthur Zooberry fuck off
Joey Arthur Zooberry Fuck Off, i bet Milan inspires alot of DIYers
Joey Arthur Zooberry stop trying to be cool it’s the internet, no one gives a fuck
Music made me feel like I was watching a compilation video
HPS or Z1 tubes?? stuck on which one to choose.
Any checking engine light with this at all ? Any problems at all ? I plan on doing this
Z1 Motorsports has kits you can buy to replace a host of hoses...I did all of mine in red on my 17 Nismo ...looks damn good !
Hey Milan I’m super stoked you got a 370z. I have a g37 that I’m new to. You should do hps coolant hoses because i have them, but the process makes me a little nervous and your videos are great tutorials. Also the rjm clutch pedal assembly is what I’m really looking forward to. I installed mine a little while back and didn’t know about removing the spring. I want your opinion on what you think. Thank you!
Paul that's awesome!! I have those same coolant hoses on the way with a Mishimoto thermostat :) I'm going to make a video regarding the install because it does look a bit messy.. Its a tight engine bay indeed.
As for the clutch pedal, I'm excited to try all 3 options and give my feedback on which I prefer :)
Would’ve been helpful to explain why you didn’t go towards the cold air intake(CAI) route instead. But reading your comments helped lol. I never knew about the silicone replacements. I’ve only heard of CAI, and when I looked on forums they said for 06 350zs, it’s not that bad and with CAI it draws in heat bc theres no shield covering the open filter. But glad to know this is another option 👍🏽
Great video! Did you run these with the stock intake filter panels? Thanks!
ty for awesome video! 1. Any HP increase or improved throttle response?
2. Will this fit to 2008 + G35 sedan without any modifications?
Cant wait till tomorrows video!!!
Just waiting for you to say it feels faster.
Strange that there is some resonator on those OEM intake pipes and I would think the thick silicon tubes would be quieter (than the thin tubes)
4:50 Looks like you cut the passenger side’s silicone tube’s PCV tube part although you didn’t mention anything about it in the video..
I'm starting to wait for videos anxiously if that's a word 😂😂😂
If you would've removed the strut bar it would've made it easier wouldn't it? But great video man!!! been a fan since Leanne! EDIT: lol as soon as I commented you started removing it.
That rev noise...OMG , sounds soo good! nice job Milan! Will ever be the 370Z lowered?
Thanks buddy!! Yes :) Very soon!!
Hey bud u gona be doing another ktune clip in the near future?😊😊😊. Love your clips by the way 😊 😊 😊. Shout outs from New Zealand😊😊
I just ordered a set for my HR. Gotta be better than stock right!?
Would these work on a 3.5 engine 2010 FX35?
Why are you installing a new thermostat?
Do you have to replace the filters when they’re dirty or can you machine wash them? I saw a post saying they were machine washable. Is this true?
Did you have to disconnect the negative terminal from your battery first?
Whats this does sir?
Sounds the same as stock?
How much do these intakes cost? Any warning lights as a result?
Amazing work as always
Thanks brother!! :)
Is it worth it?? And how much horse?? The listing says it proves up to 6hp with no tune required, I saw it on eBay the hps tube for my g35 coupe but it's pretty pricey for silicone is it legit??
I have vw golf v gt sport I want to install led kit
Time to get some k&n drop ins
Great job again. Car looks dope. But please, stop revving her without a load. Enjoy the day!
It looks cool in the engine bay, but not much gains
Why not save the money and just get a cold air intake
Because if this does the trick, it will save me hundreds $$$
bang for your buck, the silicone tubes and new filters for the airboxes are the best use of your money with a VQ. That, or Admin Tuning intakes if you have the budget. This mod gives almost identical results as the Takeda or Stillen Gen 3 long tube intakes for like quarter of the cost (of course those two would perform better, but its almost insignificant in most situations). The whole point is to remove the bendystraw section of the stock pipes as it creates unnecessary turbulence.
Nothing beats the sound of an open filter
Mike R maybe to some
Mike R he's not installing a "hot air intake" hes just replacing a portion of the stock intake. The Airbox is still closed and pulling air from outside the car
You are too good
i got a focus diesel and my lil brother got a mini
Curious, why not a cold air intake (long ram)? Are you going to take it to Cauga anytime soon?
I would love to!! That sounds like fun :)
milanmastracci believe there is one event today.
Who not stillen gen 3 intakes ?
Because racecar🔥🍞
LOL I see what you did there ahah
Stillen Supercharger???
More power, not necessarily. Better air flow, possibly. But by now, everyone should know this already (hopefully) 😅
So bros4speed also got a lot of shit for installing silicone pipes but I believe this and the K&N drop ins are the cheapest route to go for a low budget intake since the intakes themselves aren’t a bad design. I personally wouldn’t go this route but not everyone is trying to squeeze every last hp NA
is this same process for G37?
Peter Jordan it sure is 👍🏽
How is the MPG so high under acceleration at 6:50?
I have a Z, same year and model and that gauge seems to give no accurate reading as to actual fuel consumed.
Love from India
Would you ever turbo the z
Yeah 😏 Considering it is RWD, it would be able to handle the power..
Should have put your new hoses in some hot water before trying to fit them but, good video. :)
That's a good idea!! I didn't even consider that 👍
Why not just upgrade everything instead of just that?
Btw, 350z have a strut bar
Nice 😊
Anyone else having their Z running around 105-110C coolant temp? Seems a bit high to be honest but I dont know.
96pabard where do you check ? My shit always 200 normal drive idk
Every Z33 came with a strut bar
Butt/sound dyno doesn't count. Another channel tested the post maf silicone tubes on a dyno and got 0hp gains across the entire range
How much for silicone exhaust?😂
Shared and liked Ur video
I hear no difference. If any hp gain, it is very minimal
Camera doesnt pick it up. in real life, the induction noise is much more prominent. Sound gets a bit deeper too.
Should've gotten Injen CAI.
👍👍
Annnnnnnnnddddd there it is......
Where is the Audi
SOLD SOLD SOLD!!
Stillen & Motordyne >> any other brand
Yeah I've heard great things about both of those companies..
Milan i wonder if he can see this comment?!
I don't think he saw it 😉
milanmastracci yowwww nice nice nice... ✌✌
It is easy to state that this mod is " less restrictive" and makes more hp. Talk is cheap. Prove it. Where is your data to prove your hypothesis?
My butt-dyno says so. I wish I had a proper dyno close to me to prove this statement
Holy hell you talk a lot. Just get to the point. Lol should’ve just got cold air intakes. You’d get a lot more gains for your buck.
3rd☺
Mgl
No hp on these, is just for looks 🤭
