Try some test pipes...it'll free up some mid to high end torque and start to pull for you...

i have CNT resonated test pipes. it made the factory exhaust sound more "air-y" make sense? louder yes, but not crazy. the factory exhaust really deadens any sound coming out. as far as intakes i dropped in the HKS hyper filters (waste of money) and im now wanting to pull the trigger on the HPS tubes. i really think our intake system is made well and i def dont want to loose the lil bit of low end we already have.

side note: from my above statement the rear in of my car is constantly covered in exhaust gas debris!

Test pipes are good but you'll get a CEL. For intakes you can run the Injen Nismo edition intake which is currently the only model that fits without minor modifications and is the only Nismo specific model. AEM/Stillen will also fit with very minor modifications.

Thought about the K&N intake but after reading all the reviews and info about short rams I decided to just put some drop ins. They arrive in a week. I have always put in a cold air kit on my cars and they make a diff but not without some problems.
