Mishimoto Post MAF Silicone intake tubes
Hello All,
I need a little help. Just recently bought, from a forum member on myg37.com, Mishimoto Post MAF silicone intake tubes for my 2013 G37S Sedan.
Everything went smooth and I got my item in a timely manner. After opening the box, making sure it came with everything, I noticed that one of the T-Bolt clamps had the bolt missing. I asked the seller (6/6/13), who will not be named, if he/she had forgot to put it in the box, but to no avail, no answer. I am assuming he/she will respond back to me sometime this week. Hopefully....
Anyways, I tried looking on the Mishimoto website to see if I can just buy a new T-Bolt clamp. I was in luck, it was only 5 bucks for one, but it was a ridiculous s/h price of almost 20 bucks. So I said forget it. Unless there are some vendors on this forum that is willing to help me out, which I will start looking after this post, to possibly get buy one t-bolt clamp.
Or maybe as a alternative, I can go to home depot and see if I can find a replacement, hoping that it will be rust free and not degrade while being in the engine bay.
Any help or advice will be helpful and thanks in advance.
There is a link below, from the the 370Z. com forum to show what it looks like.

IcemanVQ37, did you purchase the kit new, or pre-owned from other end consumer?

Mishimoto,
This was a pre-owned from a forum member here. All I am missing is a bolt for the t-bolt clamp. I have been pretty busy with work, family that I have not had the chance to get a nut replacement for the t-bolt clamp. Which I could possibly find at a Home Depot or some other hardware store. Or a local automotive store.

Reasoning is short ram intakes will increase intake temps due to drawing in warm/hot air from under the hood and the heat soaking of the metal tubes.
Source; personal experience...hot air equals lower performance.
But, if your mod goals are looks/sound over performance, then go with the short ram intakes FTW.
