If you're looking to give your Infiniti M56 a little extra kick, check out the HPS Performance Blue Shortram Air Intake Kit. Designed specifically for the 2011-2013 M56 with the 5.6L V8, this kit is all about maximizing airflow without the hassle of tuning. Seriously, it’s a straightforward upgrade that can boost your horsepower by 17 whp and torque by 16.1 ft/lbs. You’ll notice a sharper throttle response too, which is always a plus when you’re merging onto the highway or just cruising around town.

What sets this kit apart? It features a 3-1/4 inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube, replacing that restrictive stock air box. This means better airflow and heat dissipation, which is crucial for keeping your engine happy. Plus, the heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield works in tandem with the factory fresh air scoop to funnel cold air straight to the filter. Cold air means more power, and who doesn’t want that?

Installation is a breeze, thanks to the clear manual with step-by-step instructions and pictures. You won’t need to modify anything during the install, and you can say goodbye to any check engine light worries since it doesn’t require tuning. Just bolt it on and enjoy the ride. And let’s not forget about the materials—this kit includes race-proven silicone hoses and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps, ensuring everything stays secure even during some spirited driving.

Here’s what you get in the box:

• HPS Performance aluminum intake tube
• HPS Performance heavy-duty steel heat shield
• HPS Performance Air Filter (washable and reusable)
• HPS Performance 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps
• HPS Performance high-temperature reinforced silicone couplers
• All mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Just a heads up, this kit is street legal in most places, but it’s not legal for sale or use in California, so keep that in mind if you're in the Golden State. Also, it weighs about 12 lbs and comes in a shipping box measuring 24 x 12 x 10 inches, so it’s not too bulky.

In short, if you want to enhance your driving experience without diving into complicated mods, the HPS Performance Blue Shortram Air Intake Kit is a solid choice for your Infiniti M56. It’s all about getting that extra edge while keeping things simple and reliable.
