Thumbs up Top Secret Super Induction System

This intake is not for everyone, I understand that. Top Secret parts are expensive, exclusive and extremely high-quality. I purchased my 2012 IPL G37 5 months ago. I Immediately started researching, planning mods and developing a build list. After owning several Top Secret Z33 parts, I knew Top Secret needed to be a part of the current. I pondered forced-induction briefly but quickly changed my mind. I didn't want to open a can of worms or own a finicky, unreliable and warranty voided car. With that said... My next car will have twins *from the factory.

Top Secret has perfected this intake system. The handcrafted titanium is lightweight, the carbon shields are beautiful and welds are near perfect. The intake includes two HKS filters that help it growl when needed. Surprisingly the intake is quiet until you're under quick acceleration or higher RPM's. The system then releases an amazing sound and my exhaust tone was slightly changed. Paired with the Powerhouse Amuse... The VQ produces an amazing note. I found myself driving with the windows down and wasting Gas!

I've had several members PM me asking for details, pricing and inquiring about where to purchase. Bulletproof automotive is Top Secrets official US Distro. Other vendors have access but if you're seriously contemplating any rare JDM parts, I would suggest them. I am NOT affiliated with or have any connection with them. I'm not trying to sell the intake for them, just posting an honest review. Bulletproof does have great customer service and access to quality parts. Unfortunately for US consumers... The competition they had has closed. I recently called them with a question regarding another vendors problem. They offered a suggestion and even further assistance to my problem and that amazed me!

And if you're wondering about performance... Yes, this kit outperforms all other intake systems available for the G37/370z. It has been Dyno proven twice.

I will take better pictures in the near future and a GoPro video will be posted.

Link to the Dyno Pdf. file on the370z.com Stillen vs. Smoky: your take on intakes - Nissan 370Z Forum

Yes, this kit out-performs the Stillen Gen 3 Kit. HP and TQ numbers per dollar does NOT amount to the same value however.

My engine bay actually looks different already. haha I took these pics on Wednesday. I'm changing the Titanium bolts, adding a Top Secret catch can, ARC radiator cap and grounding kit.

Will update with new pictures when complete.

Thanks! I agree this is refreshing, original and not played out. I have seen many Gen 3's, R2C, Takeda and Injen. Nothing is wrong with those but I needed something different... something exclusive.

looks cool, any plans to do an independent dyno? I'm sure our and the Z community would like to see the results! I've seen the shops/smokeys but would like to see unbiased results. Either way it looks very nice.
Is it labeled a G37/370GT intake or is it for the Z and it works with our car? I was under the impression T.S. was no longer shipping G37 parts to the U.S.
