Many risks listed here such as A/F ratios effected on the front cylinders as well as adverse effects on the rear cylinders...
However many Nissan engines, (i.e. GT-R, Silvia, etc) all use straight runner style plenums as well as the Greddy and other aftermarket intake plenums.
My argument is that these cars show little to no issues using these intake styles, although I do agree, the GTS-t as well as the Toyota Supra in various models utilize this center oriented intake manifold so there must be some reason why they opted to use this design. But I feel theoretically that the straight runner should not show a significant difference, especially when more airflow provided via front mount intercooler and typically larger diameter piping when changing over to the straight forward design.
Off topic, can those that have them post pics of completely custom intake plenums on the GTS-t, including the sub-zero and shop fabricated. I have one that was made by a guy here in the US that I will post this week once I get it.
