[Official] "Which intake should I buy for my Z?" thread.

NickShoelace · 08-01-2013, 10:16 PM

Yeah, I don't plan to jimmy-rig some makeshift intake. I do want everything inside and out to look clean and be legit. So I'm thinking Stillen G3 CAI it is.

It's all a matter of priorities. Some people will spend $2k on a Ti cai. Most people buy a Stillen g3. Some people will DIY. I've got $10 that says everybody ends up within 5 whp of each other.

THIS

after every N/A mod someone can do, the most anyone will make is 230whp give or take

I would rather pick up AAM's... Not mentioned here but has a very similar design as G3's and has a novel sleeve that will size down the maf for untuned guys and you remove it when you get your car tuned.

Then again... this thread is very redundant

Chuck33079 · 08-01-2013, 10:30 PM

There's no " best" anything when it comes to NA mods. Once you do all the usual bolt ons and tune, you'll be around 320-330 whp after a tune no matter what brand you buy.

I have K&N's.....With super awesome dryer duct in the front grill that feeds air to the air boxes. Goes through the lower corners of the fangs. Put some funnels that go into the dryer duct directly into my K&N intake boxes. It looks terrible.....so what? Wanna fight about it?

LunaZ · 02-25-2011, 06:25 AM

More air tends to equal more noise.

Chan Chee Hoe · 02-25-2011, 06:44 AM

More air also less "low end torque".!

Andy, head over to the Intake/Exhaust section. You'll find enough information, opinions, dyno results, and delusions to give you the answer you seek (or totally confuse you!)
