My New 370z

zume · 01-25-2015, 06:45 PM

Picked up a 2013 370z a few days ago. Getting it tinted this friday and going to be replacing the air intakes with cold air intakes. These are the ones I'm going to get: 09 14 370Z Fairlady Z34 3 7 V6 Cold Shield Dual Air Intake Kit Red Filter | eBay

I was thinking about putting this spoiler on..what do you think?

Hello and welcome Zume! I'm pretty new to the forum as well, but not to the Nissan Z family. Beautiful car. In my personal opinion I'd stay away from the L3. I'm not a mechanic but I know the quality isn't the greatest, and you don't see massive gains. If you are going for more engine sound and a more modded look under the hood then they are great, but I'd recommend spending the extra $$$ and getting a stillen or K&N. Check out the parts classifieds and you'll see some nice intakes for reasonable prices. As for the Spoiler... (Again just my opinion) I think it ruins the lines of the car. It's a nice spoiler, but unless you're putting down 450+ WHP it has no utility and is just kinda there. That's my thoughts, but whatever you decide to do GOOD LUCK!!!

Congrats and gorgeous car. As others have said, I would stay away from most parts on ebay. They may look good and seem to be fairly priced..but you generally get what you pay for. I'd also skip the air intakes too. Those ones look cheap, and any aftermarket intake is basically a waste of money as there is almost 0 performance increase. The factory intakes do their job well and they are free.

Welcome to the forum! As said above, I would stay away from the ebay short ram intakes. These are just pulling hot air from inside the engine bay and most of the time just doing more harm then good. The stillen intakes are a great choice if you are interested in seeing any performance.

Wish I saw all this before I made the offer on the intakes haha. I got them for $99. All well. You think I should still stay away from trying them out? Or just try to sell them off?

I was also looking at this too but probably also crap? 4 5"Burnt Tip Muffler Racing Hi Power Catback Exhaust for 09 14 370Z Z34 VQ37VHR | eBay

Thanks guys for the warm welcome.
