Performance Air Intake for Infiniti Q50 (2014-2015) 3.7L Engine - Black

Engineered for the legendary VQ37VHR engine, this cold air intake system adds up to 26 horsepower to your Q50's 3.7L V6 while delivering that aggressive intake roar enthusiasts crave. Premium aluminum construction meets high-flow filtration for a performance upgrade that looks as good as it performs.

Wake Up Your VQ37—Proven Power Gains for Your Q50

The 2014-2015 Infiniti Q50 carries the torch of the legendary G37, packing the same bulletproof VQ37VHR V6 that's become famous in the tuning world for reliability and response. From the factory, your Q50 delivers a respectable 328 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque—but the restrictive factory airbox leaves performance on the table. This intake system frees up that trapped power.

With this cold air intake installed, you're looking at approximately 354 horsepower—a solid 26 hp gain over stock. Pair it with a proper ECU tune, and you'll push into 374 horsepower territory with 46 additional horses waking up that VQ. Whether you're merging onto the highway or carving through backroads, the difference is immediate and addictive.

Key Performance Features

• Power You Can Feel: Unlock up to 26 additional horsepower with intake alone, or 46 hp when combined with an ECU tune—transforming your Q50 from refined cruiser to serious performer
• Premium Aluminum Piping: Lightweight yet durable construction resists corrosion and heat while maximizing airflow to your engine's VVEL system
• High-Flow Black Air Filters: Washable, reusable filters engineered for superior filtration and maximum airflow
• Chrome Accent Pipes: Eye-catching chrome finish adds a custom look under the hood that matches the Q50's premium aesthetic
• Improved Throttle Response: Instant pedal feedback replaces the factory delay—the VQ37 responds exactly when you command it
• Deep, Sporty Intake Sound: Hear your V6 breathe with an aggressive, throaty tone during acceleration that reminds you this isn't your average luxury sedan

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools. The entire swap takes less than 60 minutes—remove your factory airbox, install the new intake tubes and filters, secure all connections, and you're ready to go. The kit comes preassembled or can be assembled in minutes.

Important: After installation, disconnect your battery terminal for 30 seconds to allow your ECU to relearn and adapt to the increased airflow. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation.

Note: A small mounting bracket tray may be included to help eliminate any potential rattling or vibration. This is NOT a heat shield—the intake design does not require heat shielding as it would restrict airflow from beneath the intake tubes. The open design maximizes cooling and performance.
