Any suggestion on selecting a dual cold air intake?
 

OK .. i want to put an intake on my 370z .. its a 2011 what do you suggest..?
HKS.. Injen.. or Takeda? .. and why? im looking for someone that does not drone..

Stillen G3. No chance of water ingestion (unless you drive into the ocean) has been proven time after time to give the best gains, sounds and looks great, very good quality. Also I think if you buy them from Z1 you can have them powder coated in what ever color you want.

I would also agree about the G3, but I would also suggest doing a search for all of those intakes on this forum and you will find a wealth of information enough to make up your own mind. Also this same topic has come up numerous times so that information is there, you just have to do some work and do some research of your own. But, good luck and G3 is normally what everyone recommends.

stillen is the only intake worth considering IMO

I did a lot of research, but the stillen does indeed beat out all the others. If you don't want to go the long tube route then K&N drop-ins with post maf tubes is the best and cheapest way to go, though you supposedly will not get the power at the top of the RPM range like the stillen provides.

Everybody says Stillen is better by miles, but I disagree. If it is better than the Injens, it's only by a very small amount.

There's a lot of Stillen kool aid on this forum. And a lot of fearmongering about the rare cases of hardship with the Injens. Just do your own research and don't believe the incredible and top-heavy pile of hype.

In fact, if you want more detailed information on the "problem" with Injen, read this thread, which also discusses easy and cheap fixes.

Not to highjack the thread (hopefully add to it), but will I still see gains with the Stillen G3 and using the stock exhaust? I understand it won't be as effective because you want the car to be able to exhale, but I really don't want an aftermarket exhaust.

The hp Gains advertised assume a stock exhaust setup.

Well then, much appreciated!!

I almost deserved a RTFM there... :icon17:

It's also been proven to show the best gains on modified cars as well, those are facts not kool-aid.

You know i felt the very same way, but looking at dyno after dyno with different set-ups the ones with stillen G3's ALL have the higher numbers. I would think the Injen's would get just as much if not more power because it seems like where they sit more cold air gets to them, but like I said so far on the research i've seen anyway the G3's show more gains.

I would look into the G3's and look at ART's resonated test pipes... they show more gains than high flow cats as well as any other test pipe out there but without a lot of the noise. That should get you about 20 whp total I would think... perhaps more. They are expensive, so be warned and if that doesn't interest you then Berks high flow cats a lot of people get with just the stock set-up.

One guy did just a cheap ebay Y pipe for 100.00 and the ART pipes and gained 20 whp. No other mods

This... but, frankly smooth intake tubes (e.g., cobb) plus K&N panel filters only make slightly less power at a fraction of the cost.

If you can find the G3's used, go for it, otherwise, I'd recommend going with the alternative I noted.

Stillen Gen3 >> Injen. Why change out the windshield washer reservoir? Why chance a potential water problem because the filters are placed too low? Why buy a product only to have to do a "fix", no matter how cheap, to solve a problem you don't need?
