Nothing's wrong with it, Nissan just did a pretty damn good job squeezing power out of it. They didn't leave as much on the table for us as far as modding goes.
6spd and GTLAW like this.

i ran those green HKS filters for the first 10,000 miles. i never could get comfortable with the filter element. it looked so thin and weak. i went with the drop in K&N's. been good to me ever since.

The very negligible changes in power don't warrant the danger of using a poorly filtering filter in my opinion.

I have AFE drop in filters. Not the dry filters but the oiled ones. It's really high quality.

Think it's this one

AFE-30-10173
