Z1 long tube intakes VS Z1 Maf silicone tube + high flow filters
So I initially was gonna get the Z1 long tube intakes, however I have heard that the stock air box system in my Nismo is actually pretty good some people suggested the Z1 Maf silicone Tubes plus high flow filters, is there really a large difference in between the 2, I waiting to get my TB for max bore, I Already have the upper and lower intake plenum. Before I tune the car so with being said and all those mods in mind between both set up is there a major difference between the 2

the long tube intakes reroute the filters to the front bumper, in front of the radiator. this means as little heat soak as possible.
keeping the stock intakes regardless of swapping to high flow filters and post maf silicone intake hoses will be bringing in hotter air due to stock filter location. the only benefit to running the post maf hoses is that they are smooth on the inside instead of corrugated like the stock tubes. i dont think you will see any performance increase with swapping to the silicone hoses.

Pretty sure the stock airboxes have been shown to, with higher flowing filters, flow equal amounts of air.
Conventional wisdom seems to have been defeated within the past 2-3 years by tuners (who even sell 3" Intakes) saying there isn't an appreciable gain to be had from this mod. |

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.

If you're going for the ported upper and lower manifolds, go for the long tubes. I have the Z1 intake on mine (the first generation), and it made a difference. My tuner was pleased when I finally bothered to get a proper intake after running stock boxes for the longest.
If you want smog legal, go with stillen as I believe they are certified. |

If you want the most out of it. Get the long tubes. You spent a lot for the ported upper and lower manifolds, plus the ported throttle bodies. Why cheap out now. If you didn't have all of that. Then I could see your point. Now you don't have a point.
