If you shop you can it for way less than $350. I think it is worth it, it's helping me drop 323.9 to the wheels. I'll take that.

theres ALOT of debate on this,short ram vs. cold air vs. stock
the general consensus is that short ram ultimatley looses power. you may simply consider looking into the less restricting tubes and a good filter |

I have debated this as well from what I gather I am going with Post MAF tubes w/ K&N drop ins. My take is if you aren't going with the Stillen Gen3 or AEM version 2 long tube intakes you aren't gaining much over the stock air boxes with the short ram offerings other than getting smooth tubes and different filters. So cut the difference and grab the Post MAF tubes to smooth the air flow out and add the K&N filters for better air flow through the filter. It also comes down to what you want the car to be...the best performance you can get for your money or just want to open it up a little more. That is my

I really like mine and they sound great too. Try streetside 2011 Nissan 370z TOURING K&N Cold Air Intakes & Accessories less than $300 shipped. Plus if you buy over $300 you get a $35 gift cert for next purchase. Buy an oil filter.

I'd tried to land a used Stillen Gen3 intake. They go up for slae every so many weeks I've noticed. Wouldn't cost you much more.

Installed mine couple months ago, like it, it does show some gain and I can feel it. Sounds better on higher rpm too.
East to install. Go for it!! I started a DIY thread, have a clip in there too. You can take a look. Click Here Last edited by alcheng; 04-30-2012 at 07:44 PM. |

I have it and I'm happy with it. It does give you a little better sound and slightly more power, not much though. The only reason why I chose it is because the Stillen Gen3 requires you to take off your front bumper in order to clean the filters. I'd love the power of the Gen3, but in my opinion it's so not worth the trouble. I rather have a short ram for easy access to clean the filter. Then again that's just me

Worth it for sound and looks, but money better spent on something else if you want to squeeze out every hp.
