Any opinions on the Injen? also was gonna go with the Black cause I am thinking the polished will be harder to maintain. Thanks for any input. Mez.
The numbers are pretty much irrelevant. I feel like stillen embellished their numbers a bit. I had the G3's on my G37 and Injens on my Z. I like em both though but I lean towards injen because I feel air flows more freely towards them. Less obstruction between the filters and open area

One thing to consider with the Injen is placement of the filters. They are low and are susceptible to hydro lock if you drive into a small pond. But if you do not daily your car then you will likely never see a monsoon or flooding on the roadways. So if you primarily drive it in sunny condintions there is absolutely no worries.
The filter placement is only a problem if you drive through a small pond like you said. Do you know anyone who takes their Z through 8 inches of water? I've had the injens for 2 years and daily drive my Z and have had it out in some pretty bad storms with no problems what so ever. The filter placement is no issue
