Save $1001 / 6Details & fitment
Will it fit?
Upgrade the airflow and performance of your FWD VQ-powered Nissan or Infiniti with our ported, polished, and painted intake manifold runners. Designed for all front-wheel-drive VQ engines, these modified lower runners eliminate major factory airflow restrictions and dramatically improve intake efficiency.
From the factory, these manifolds contain large casting ridges and rough airflow transitions that disrupt airflow and reduce performance potential. We fully port the manifold runners 3–5mm over stock, remove the massive internal casting obstructions, and lightly polish the interior for smoother, faster airflow. The result is improved throttle response, better airflow distribution, and increased performance potential.
