K&N vs Takeda intake
hello Z lovers,
I can't decided on between K&N and Takeda intake. Prices are pretty close, and I guess performance too?? I'm not trying to spend a lot on intake as my budget won't allow me too, (wish I can get Stillen Gen3) so I must decide either between Takeda or K&N. What do you guys think?? Any opinions or suggestions?? |

I recently found out that you can buy K & N Drop in Filters & Post MAF Tubes and the gains will be +15-16HP (dyno'd)- Not only that but the drop ins are about $100 bucks + tubes $127.00= $227 for a cold air intake- not hot like the typhoons
Amazon.com: 09-11 Nissan 370Z 3.7L VQ37VHR HPS Silicone Post MAF Air Intake Hose Blue: Automotive K&N Drop-in Air Filter for Nissan 350z/370z and Infiniti G37/G25 I think i am going to jump on this soon. I really wanted some cool looking Intakes, but these really wont look all that bad |

That's what I'm going for also, I've dropped in the K&N's, and was doing the Z1 MAF tube install, however, had to go back to stock tubes till tomorrow, because we gotta cut the Z1 tubes since they're too long. So friendly heads up on that...

K&N intake is around about 280~300 in average. so instead of spending $227 for it, isn't it better just getting a legit intake??? |

i can tell you i have felt the oem air boxes after having the ac on and they were pretty hot.so i can imagine how much hot air the k&n typhoons would be sucking in with the ac on or being held in traffic.now if you dont have to run the ac and be held in traffic,then the oem air boxes will stay cool to the touch.i would love to have the k&n typhoons as i think they look great.i allso like to run the ac when its 95+ out.which means heat soak and this engine needs all the cool air it can get.i might get them and run them in the winter time only though lol
