Another thing to consider which no one has really mentioned is that the Gen 3 intake are only good for about 5-7hp when coupled with exhaust. On their own the Gen 3's have been proven to be good for 12-15hp but it's also been proven that on cars that already have a CBE they are only good for another 5-7hp. You can get 4-5hp with simple drop in k&n filters using the stock air box. Much cheaper and far easier install and upkeep. And if you really want to get rid of the ribbed stock hoses go for the HPS tubes for smoother air flow.

I was going to get Gen 3's but wasn't excited about cutting up my car nor having to remove my bumper every time I wanted to inspect or clean my filters. Then when I saw dynos showing that I could get near the exact same gains with the drop in filters I decided to forget about the Gen 3's. Don't really care about the look under the hood or the sound. Then again I went down the mod road with my 280z and know what a pain it can be when you start getting crazy with mods. Wanted to keep my 370z simple.
