Short-Ram intakes are proven to lose low-end power. That is a known fact. Even Real-Cold Air Intakes lose low-end power but, no-where near as much as short-rams.
Stock Air box > Fujita - for Low-End.
Stock Air Box < Fujita - for Mid-Range and High End.
MT cars won't lose as much low-end but they still lose a good amount. As rpms climb and more air is passing through the engine bay, the Fujitas out shine the stock airbox.
To account for the extra amount of air, you'll need to tune the ECU correctly, via get it dyno-tuned with a SAFC-II or VAFC or some kind of A/F controller. I will be going to SRT to see if they can tune my SAFC-II for my car (if possible) to gain some low-end back and more mid-range.
With the 6MT, you can always here my intake. Especially when I ride-out my gears sometimes. I have no complaints, with my intakes. Even if the car starts off slow, you gain back what you lost through mid-range and top-end. Reset the ECU and drive hard for a little bit.

I have often seen where the loss in low end and increase in top end turns into a wash for acceleration fro a dig- particularly in the auto because you can't overcompensate for the loss by dropping the clutch from higher RPMs as necessary. From a roll the edge goes to aftermarket intakes. But this car already accels at higher acceleration so I would rather not lose low end power.
The Z tube was yested against a bunch of aftermarket intakes a while back all were dynoed against eachother and the Z tube was the only intake that did not lose low end while increaing power at all other RPMs.
So I wonder if a couple of Ztubes would fit or work on this engine or if there will be an equivalent on the next generation of Z engines- which I would image would be 3.7s.

Are you talking about the Z-tube and Jwt Pop charger combo? or just the Z tube it self? If just the z-tube, of course it will give you more lowend because you are still using the stock airbox (which is not bringing in hot air from the engine). I would not use a K&N oiled filter though. So unless they have a dry filter combo along with the Z-tube, then lowend will be lost for me. lol

yea cant you just put on the z tube only and leave the filter and air box ? Do they even make the z tube for it yet ?
