When you say "drop ins" are you talking just K&N filters to replace the OEM Nissan filters in the stock cans?

Philipp, thanks for your efforts. Your dyno tests have made up my mind on the set up for my ordered Z. It's Stillen CBE and K&N drop in filters and nothing else. This combination should give me a 16-20 HP gain over stock with no warranty issues and that's the peace of mind I'm looking for!

My small contribution to the community! You will enjoy your new car. Mine is getting better every day ;) and has less than 4000km...

So if I'm reading the charts correctly, we are looking at 4-5 hp gains in the peak range with the drop-ins?

You've read correctly. The gains were consistent throughout each 4 runs.

My experience with the drop-in K&N is that I didn't notice any power increase--no loss, either, BTW!--but I'm now getting two weeks out of a tankful, versus 11-12 days I was getting prior to installing it. So, even if you don't get a whp increase with it, the gas savings are well worth it, dudes! Greetings from sunny/rainy Puerto Rico!

As far as engine performance goes; it's my understanding that the stock air box set setup provides all the airflow that the engine can handle. :)

LOL...OK.

No, there are no performance gains from a G3 intake...none at all...lol

I can think of alot of better things to throw away $3000 on that will not depreciate the moment it goes on the car.:rolleyes:

The Z depreciated more than that when you drove it off the lot...

4-5 hp, or 3-5% gains? Please clarify. The literature that came with my K&N air filter used percentages to measure the gains. Allegedly, my '04.5 Touring Coupe gained 3%, which=8.61hp. Any experts in the house??

Nice job. The KNs do what they claim, and is what are expected of them. The graph shows a consistant air flow with KNs vs. stock.

As for over-oiled production KN filters, it is mythical horse ****. Certainly, there may have been a few that have affected MAF sensors, however, the majority produced are without problem. The reported problems of soakage is commonly associated with persons re-oiling their KNs.

I have used KN filters for almost two decades. In fact, it is the first mod on my new cars. No problems.

I've used K&N filters for years on high-performance motorcycles and have nothing but good things to say.

if you live in a dusty area i would NOT recommend using the K&N filters. they let in alot of dust
