Sorry if repost,..... What is the best cai?
I couldn't find the thread on this one, even though I know it has been posted before. But maybe this can be a more recent one. There a ton of threads on this site.
Please let me know your opinion on with CAI to purchase. I live in AZ, if it matters on which is best out here. Thanks! |

Check the exhaust/intake section of the forums (a sub forum of this one). There are many reviews, DIYs, pictures, and discussions about the many types and brands out there.
There are short ram vs long tube, CF vs stainless steel, intakes vs drop-ins, etc. I'd say, based on popularity, that the Stillen G3 intakes are probably the the ones you'll see pop up on the forums most often. There have been issues with A/C lines being damaged after improper installation, so read up!

To OP: The term 'Best' when it comes to the intakes that get represented here is subjective.
Each of them have their pros/cons and several members have stepped up to give their reviews of the respective Intakes they have purchased. The other sub-folder in this section "Intakes/Exhausts" is where most of those will be found. For a basic break down: Stillen (Gen III's): Pros: Good gains, Air from outside the engine bay Cons: Removing front bumper for install/maintenance, cost, some cutting req Injen: Pros: Moderate gains, moderate price, one piece tubing Cons: Modding of Washer Fluid tank, Air from inside engine bay, (some members) have experienced hydrolocking AEM: Pros: One piece tubing, large diameter tubing Cons: Air from inside engine bay, ECU tricking harness JWT Pop Chargers: Pros: Increased flow, easy to access/clean filters Cons: Takes air from inside engine bay, only replaces stock filters, not stock filter plastic pipes Top Secret Intake: Pros: Increased flow, Easy to access/clean filters Cons: Expensive, lower gains that long tube intakes Those are the most commonly discussed intakes on here, there are others out there, and you can always just do K&N Drop Ins and those will give you slight gains for low costs. Whatever works best for you is based on what your looking for vs cost. Hope this helps with your search and if not, the search button is your friend!

/\ Chris did a good overview of all the intakes. I have STILLEN G3 and love it. Very nice aggressive growl to it. You can check out my thread HERE
Also, feel free to use our custom search. Much better result compare to the forum search THE370Z Custom Google Search + two new subsections for Lounge (OT)

Chris actually did a stupid job. The Injens pull in outside air.

Ok fine lets pick apart every single minute detail...
Oh wait, I used the wrong font... It was just supposed to be simple, hence BASIC review. I thought the fact it wasn't 'All Inclusive' would have been assumed, forgive me.
