If you're looking to kick your R35 GT-R's performance up a notch, the Alpha R35 GT-R Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake is a solid choice. This isn't just another intake; it's designed to pull in a higher volume of cool air for those stock turbochargers while making sure the factory Mass Airflow (MAF) sensors keep things in check. Say goodbye to those bulky air filter boxes and hello to sleek carbon fiber tubing and high-flow dry media filters. Not only does it tidy up your engine bay, but it also helps your turbos breathe better by drawing in cooler air from outside.

One of the coolest things about this intake is how it increases the cross-sectional area of the tubing. This allows the MAF sensors to accurately meter airflow, even when you're pushing over 1000HP! That's a huge step up from the stock setup. Plus, let's be real: the OEMs often focus on muffling turbo noise, which can come at the cost of horsepower. With the Alpha intake, your turbos get all the cold air they crave, and you can actually hear them spool up and vent'something every car enthusiast will appreciate.

Now, let's talk materials. The intake pipes are made from motorsports-grade carbon fiber that's hand-laid and resistant to high temperatures. Unlike some other options that use glossy carbon fiber that can fade or crack over time, the Alpha intake features a 3-layer, 1mm twill weave prepreg carbon fiber that can handle up to 240??C without losing its looks or structural integrity. No worries about yellowing or fading here!

Installation? It's a breeze. While some intakes out there make you remove the front bumper (no thanks), this one is designed for a hassle-free experience. You can install it with just basic hand tools in no time'no cutting, trimming, or bumper removal required. Plus, it comes with a reusable synthetic high-flow dry media filter, so you're not stuck buying those cheap paper filters every few months. Just one more reason this intake stands out.

Originally crafted to complement the Alpha 7 Performance Package, this intake is all about maximizing the performance of your GT-R's factory turbos. And don't worry if you're running upgrades; it's compatible with turbo inlet pipes from 2011 and older as well as the larger ones from 2012+. If you ever push the limits of the stock MAF sensors, you can easily upgrade to speed density with the Alpha R35 GT-R MAF Block-Off Plates.

Just keep in mind, since the pipe size alters the calibration of the factory MAF sensor, you'll need an aftermarket ECU calibration for optimal performance.
