The cheapest and best way to go IMHO. You can do the install yourself and the money you save put towards a new exhaust, HFCs, or test pipes! If you are planning on adding these mods anyway...there is no significant gain in horsepower or torque by getting a CAI.

Takeda is a good option as it requires no cutting of your car to make it fit. Also the gains on takeda ar eonly slightly less than stillen gen 3. It's up to you though.

True but that's the first thing one should upgrade on.IMO

Also consider that the CAI is a much easier install. You can do it yourself in about an hour.

:iagree:

Drop ins and MAF Tubes are the easiest to install of the intake mods. But for sure if you are talking about Cats and other exhaust mods.

K&N 69-7078TS Intake Kit - Typhoon System Cold Air

I'd prefer this over cutting the car.

Best bang for the buck on cold air intakes are AEM's. I've routinely seen them for low $400's and you can get them in dark silver powder coating from AEM.

I am going with Takeda CAI this summer, everyone who has reviewed them seems as happy if not happier then the ones with the G3's. Like many other people have mentioned there is no cutting for instal of the Takeda intakes which is a pro over the stillens and the gains are almost identical :tup:

Anybody have the K&N ones? Previous owner installed them. Seem to be fine, just looking for some experienced info.

Between the Stillen G3's and the Takeda, I bet you would not be able to tell the difference when you drive it. The difference if so minimal, you'd probably have a tough time distinguishing. Boils down to dollars and preference but that's just me.

i have injens from my 350z the silicone elbows are a tight fit and it takes minor fabricating but they are basically the same as stillen gen 3's and cost me about $150 less:tup:

courtesynissan. look for 370Z stock intake. np!

Injen intake made for the 370 requires no cutting as well, I have the black version.

But definitely it seems top 3 CAI's are the Stillen G3, Injen and Takeda(lots of positive reviews about them lately)

If you haven't made a purchase, and to all other readers asking the same question as the OP, DO NOT buy the Injens.

I too purchased them for the lower price, the fact that there's minor cutting involved (a very small notch), and they offered them in black (my Z is black). However due to their location of the filters I've had issues with keeping them dry. They have been on my car almost 1 1/2 years, and every time it rains it reduces me to an irate "granny shifter." With even the slightest rainfall it throws my car into limp mode. So far I've found the only way to avoid the embarassment of riding a bucking stallion through a busy intersection is to upshift before the 2500 rpm fuel cutoff until I get to an appropriate gear (depending on posted speed limits).

I should mention that my car is at stock height (I didn't add coilovers due to this issue:shakes head:), I always park my car facing downhill, and I try my best to avoid standing water. Some may ask, "If they're such a pain in the a$$ why do you still have them?" They're already on my car, and I'm never in the US long enough to worry about changing them out. Just thought I'd steer anyone away from experiencing the same problems.
