Exhausts come stock on cars, they generally suck, so we replace them. Likewise the intakes...
Your missing the point, all cars come with air filters and exhaust systems.

Not all cars come stock with factory installed cold air intakes, as the the 370Z does stock.

Post some dyno results of 370z 's that have only had there stock CAI replaced with after market ones, most hp results are very minimal.

Sure if you put some big after market CAI on the car and then put on a good set of headers, large pipes and free flowing muffers and also eliminate the CATS and spend about $2500 and $500 on remapping , you will see some gains, but not from just simply putting on CAI by itself.
