Flexibility,
Tunability,
Performance!
The
AAM
Competition
Q50
&
Q60
Intake
System
is
the
ONLY
adjustable
intake
system
for
the
Infiniti
Q50
&
Infiniti
Q60–
giving
you
the
option
to
maximize
your
vehicle's
performance
depending
on
your
Infiniti's
current
setup
(stock,
mildly
modified,
heavily
modified).
Developed
with
upgradeability
in
mind,
the
variable
design
provides
flexibility
in
engine
tuning
and
greater
air
flow.
Stock
or
near
stock
Infiniti
Q50/Q60’s
will
use
the
intake
in
S-Line
configuration.
In
S-Line
configuration
the
intake
can
be
installed
on
the
vehicle
without
any
other
adjustments
and
provides
a
clean,
easy
to
install
10+
horsepower
gain.
Infiniti
Q50’s
and
Q60's
equipped
with
more
bolt-on
upgrades
and
engine
tuning
will
use
the
intake
in
R-Line
configuration.
R-Line
configuration
provides
maximum
air-flow
to
the
engine
allowing
for
up
to
20
to
25+
horsepower
gains
when
tuned.
How
an
intake
works
on
the
modern
day
Infiniti:
The
MAF
(Mass
Airflow
Sensor)
is
a
critical
component
in
running
a
modern
day
engine.
The
MAF
reads
the
volume
of
air
passing
by
it
in
a
tube
and
translates
this
“mass”
of
air
into
an
electronic
signal.
This
signal
is
sent
electronically
to
the
Infiniti
Q50
/
Q60’s
ECM
(Electronic
Control
Module
–
the
cars
computer)
which
uses
this
information
as
the
main
reference
to
run
the
Q50/Q60’s
engine.
The
diameter
of
the
MAF
housing
(which
is
integrated
into
the
factory
intake)
is
critical
as
the
sensor
is
calibrated
to
read
a
specific
range
of
frequency
(flow)
in
a
specific
size
and
shape
MAF
housing.
Aftermarket
intakes
most
commonly
use
the
small
stock
MAF
housing
or
use
a
tube
that
is
the
same
diameter
of
the
MAF
housing
so
that
the
MAF
sensor
reads
the
same
(otherwise,
tuning
to
recalibrate
the
MAF
sensor
would
be
necessary).
So,
even
though
most
aftermarket
intakes
have
larger
filters
and/or
larger
filter
boxes,
they
either
re-use
the
stock
MAF
housing
or
the
size
of
the
MAF
housing
remains
the
same
as
stock,
therefore
not
allowing
any
more
air
to
flow
through
the
MAF
than
the
factory
intake
and
MAF
housing
already
does.
This
is
where
the
AAM
Competition
Infiniti
Q50
&
Q60
S-Line
/
R-Line
Cold
Air
Intake
System
shines
by
providing
the
option
to
utilize
a
significantly
larger
MAF
housing
and
significantly
increasing
air
flow.
S-Line
Configuration:
The
S-Line
Tuning
Inserts
(colored
in
red)
are
installed
in
this
rendering.
When
the
S-Line
Tuning
Inserts
are
installed
in
the
included
larger
AAM
Competition
MAF
Housings,
the
internal
diameter
closely
matches
the
factory
MAF
housings
2.43"
inner
diameter,
which
allows
the
intakes
to
be
ran
on
an
Infiniti
Q50
&
Q60
without
any
tuning,
while
still
taking
advantage
of
the
much
improved
intake
design
with
significantly
larger
airboxes
and
large
high-flow
conical
performance
air
filters.
R-Line
Configuration:
The
S-Line
Tuning
Inserts
in
the
AAM
Competition
MAF
Housing
are
removed
-
allow
for
full
3"
unrestricted
maximum
air
flow!
Common
intake
mistakes
-
buyer
beware:
The
factory
intakes
utilize
a
well
engineered
completely
sealed
style
intake
box.
However,
the
design
does
not
allow
for
a
properly
sized
conical
filter
for
best
air
flow.
Many
aftermarket
intake
kits
for
the
Q50
and
Q60
have
much
larger
air
filters,
but
they
do
not
utilize
completely
sealed
intake
boxes.
Instead
they
use
easy
to
make
and
cheaper
heat
shields
and/or
partial
heat
shield
boxes.
Why
is
this
bad
for
the
Q50
&
Q60?
Even
though
these
types
of
intake
kits
have
a
larger
filter,
they
have
shown
reductions
in
power
on
the
dyno.
This
is
because
without
a
completely
sealed
air
box,
the
air
filters
will
draw
in
the
hot
air
surrounding
the
engine
compartment.
Utilizing
completely
sealed
intake
boxes,
the
AAM
Competition
Infiniti
Q50
&
Q60
S-Line
/
R-Line
Cold
Air
Intake
System
is
a
true
cold
air
style
intake
system
that
draws
in
cooler
air
from
outside
of
the
engine
compartment.
All
hardware
and
install
instructions
are
included
with
the
kit.
Large
wire
enforced
4-ply
silicone
turbocharger
inlet
pipes
ensure
a
snug
fit,
while
allowing
for
engine
movement
and
flex.
The
wire
enforcement
ensure
the
turbocharger
inlet
pipes
will
not
collapse
under
high
suction
from
the
turbochargers.
The
high
flow
air
filters
keep
the
air
flow
unrestricted,
while
efficiently
protecting
the
engine
from
the
elements.
