You might want to make that clear when you post the shop said G3s won't make any difference. You mentioned nothing of tubes in your post nor cost value.

FWIW, I completely agree with your tuner. But the way you phrased their recommendation, as you can see by my initial response, might lead some to believe the shop is not being straight with you. That's definitely not the reputation we want to spread about a good Z shop

I probably didn't explain myself correctly. I'm new to this tuner thing and don't know all the jargon and details of increasing horsepower.

Like I said. There would be no question that this shop is a very reputable Z shop.

buy used. if you're bone stock you should see over 10hp. if you have full exhaust and porting and this that and the other it will prob be <10hp increase. either way $35-$40 a HP isnt bad. look at a full exhaust, you're in the $80+ per HP range easy!

Between all the decent intakes, I would say there's only a couple whp difference, so just go with the one you like for a decent manufacturer no ebay junk.
i dont know whats reasonable but you get more then 10% for sure. I'd guess the CBE could have a couple HP but all the powers going to be locked in both cars cats. the nismo does start out ahead though but in the end its all the same.

PS i made mine with ebay parts. id put it up against the gen 3. if the ebay MAF housing isnt proper then the car will need a tune! but after MAF rescale i cant see that much of a difference if we are talking long tubes vs long tubes. after all its just 2.5" OD pipe we're talking about here.
