I own an 87 300ZX non turbo 5sp...still retains the stock clutch fan...i need to know if anyone has anyone idea how to run two 3" pipes to get better air flow to the intake without sucking up water and without removing any lights??????

That just sounds dumb, and what does having a fan clutch have to do with making a bigger intake ?

Remove the stockair box & resonator box and put a 3" pipe and a cone filter the car will have a more agressive sound

And after all that work, you gain ZERO horsepower and have a new s***tty intake to worry about. Good job flower.
