In the past. The best bang for the buck was K&N drop ins, and the Z1 silicone MAF hoses. The Stillen long tube cai were the best set-up. Z1 and Admin now offer larger long tubes. The stock air boxes pull air from the front side of the radiator shroud. Most short tube cai pull air behind the radiator shroud, which gets hot.

There is no way that I will do the short ram air intake but I was told the stock nismo air box was actually pretty good just to drop hi flow filters and the Z1 Maf hoses and presto for less of half of the price of the stillen or Z1 long tube intakes. I have heard why pay twice as much when there is no real major difference, I was told to spend less buy this the hi flow filters and Maf hoses and focus on the tunning cus a good tune will yield similar result with both set ups

You will make more power with the drop-ins and maf tubes over the short rams. The long tubes will give you the most power gains.

I guess my question is does the long tube make a lot more power to spend twice as much on the long tube intake versus the drop ins And mafs
