Specs & Features

• Show-Stopping Carbon: Constructed from real 3" Carbon Fiber Tubing (hand-laid 3k twill) that drops weight and looks incredible under the hood.
• 600+ HP Ready: Increases the intake cross-section to solve the "maxed out" MAF sensor issue, giving you the headroom to tune for massive power gains (up to 40% over stock).
• Painless Install: Ingeniously designed to install Without Bumper Removal or cutting—save the saw and the hours of labor for a true bolt-on upgrade.
• Hear the Turbo: Removes the sound dampening of the stock airbox, letting you finally hear the VR38DETT turbo spool and bypass valve "whoosh."
• Tuning Made Simple: Fully supported by free COBB Off-The-Shelf (OTS) Maps for Stage 1, 2, and 3, making calibration a download-and-go process.
• Built Tough: Connected with 3-Ply Steel Reinforced Silicone couplers that won't collapse under the high suction of a big-power pull.

Product Description

Godzilla needs to breathe, and the factory airboxes are choking it. In stock form, the R35's Mass Airflow (MAF) sensors do a decent job, but they hit a wall. As you add mods and turn up the boost, the airflow exceeds what the factory sensors can read (they max out their voltage). When the ECU can't see the air, it can't add the fuel, and your power gains stop dead in their tracks. The COBB Redline Carbon Fiber Big SF Intake is the fix.

"Big SF" isn't just a cool name; it describes the engineering. By increasing the intake tubing diameter to a massive 3.0 inches, COBB slows down the air velocity just enough to trick the MAF sensor into reading lower for the same amount of volume. This gives the sensor the "headroom" it needs to read accurately at much higher horsepower levels. We have used this exact intake to support builds pushing over 600HP and 600TQ at the wheels.

Performance is mandatory, but style is everything. The Redline Series ditches the standard aluminum for gorgeous, hand-laid carbon fiber. It uses a 2x2 twill weave that matches high-end aero parts perfectly. Because these are hand-crafted, you might see slight variances in the weave—that’s how you know it’s real carbon, not a hydro-dipped fake. It sits in the engine bay like a piece of jewelry.

Most GT-R intakes are a nightmare to install, requiring you to rip the front bumper off. COBB engineers hated that, so they designed this kit to slip in using simple hand tools. No cutting, no bumper removal, no headaches. Once installed, the sound is addictive. The enclosed stock airbox hides the turbo noise; the COBB dual cone filters let it sing. You’ll hear the induction snarl and the diverter valves venting every time you let off the throttle.

This is the ultimate "have your cake and eat it too" modification. You get the show-car aesthetics of carbon fiber, the race-car capability of 3-inch MAF scaling, and the ease of a bolt-on install. Whether you are running a stock turbo setup or planning a massive build down the road, this intake grows with you. Plus, with COBB's free Accessport maps, you don't even need a custom dyno session to get it running. Bolt it on, flash the map, and go faster.
