Whats the best Intake?
 

What the best intake (money and HP gain) With out making any holes or cuts in my 370z?

Post MAF tube with drop in filters

Are you talking about a cold air intake or a short ram air intake? The cold air provide about 6-12 more horsepower and the short rams get around 4-8. No big gains and you wont notice anything with the butt dyno but they do provide some engine roar. Pros and cons on either one but you buy what you like.

Stock :stirthepot:

In all seriousness everyone says the Stillen is the best, but it's $500 and I think you still have to cut stuff. Cost to HP ratio your best bet is a set of K&N drop-ins and the post-MAF smooth tubes (~$180 all together and within a few HP of a full CAI)

If you are getting tuned and trying to maximize HP you can acheive I would look at the Takeda Stage II CAI. Since you do not want to cut anything. However if you would cut the support in the same fashion as you have to with the Stillen G3's then you would have fully unrestricted airflow. As the silicone tubes are smashed by the support otherwise. I believe this is Top Speed's secret mod to this particular intake in their bid to maxmize power from all the mods.


But if you are not trying to get the best numbers you can possibly get on a dyno/paper. Then it is a personal choice. Do you want some bling under the hood go with whichever CAI you like. Or just do the drop ins and/or smooth tubes.

You're new here, please try a google search

Or just text DE for answers to all your questions. He is my 370z catalog :tup:

i like the k&n typhoon cheap on amazon and give better "gains" than most. But honestly unless you plan on getting full exhaust and intake AND then a tune. just get the one you like the best. Because +-5hp is not going to make any difference you can notice anyway.

no intake that meets your expectation exists.

What about K&N Filters Typhoon?!

overpriced/minimal gains (if any at all)

So forget about the price, what is the best Intake with out making cutting anything?

FYI, on the stillen G3 you only "cut" two composite plastic pieces. It is hardly "cutting up the car". Heck, you could not tell on mine unless I pointed it out with the nose off.

i have had the stillen g3 on my car for almost 3 weeks now i think and i like them.

if you want cold air Takeda's( less than Stillen an no cutting and same power) if not Post MAF tubes and drop ins
