Best CAI's?
 

In your opinion what do you believe is the Best Cold Air intake on the market

As far as I know, the Stillen g3 cai's have the highest hp gain at 17.5hp. They also give the car a little bit more of a growl at WOT. I have a set, and installation was pretty easy. I love them.

Z1 Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses

Performance Air Filter - Performance Air Filter - Cosworth USA

Based on what? Power gains? Looks? I would love to see a dyno comparison to the G3s.

I would, too, but the consensus is that it's within a few horses. For $200, that's pretty good. It also looks stock, which to me is a plus, and doesn't involve cutting anything. Put all that together, and 3-5bhp really doesn't matter to me. I just like having better hoses and filters under my hood, really. Not so worried about making more power, per se.

:iagree: There's something to be said for not having to take your bumper off to clean the filter. Granted, it's only every 20-30k miles, but still.......

:iagree:

stillen gen 3's /thread...

stock with drop-ins (no joke).

:iagree:

Along with post mafs. It might only net at best 13hp to use this combination. But low end power loss is so minimal the car steel feels stock and the silicone truly keeps air cold which makes you feel some good boost at higher RPM's. CAI's recive more of the engines heat than post MAFS.

Like others have said, best is relative.
Most HP = Stillen
Good HP but easy install = Injen
Easy install and some HP = drop in+post MAF

Final choice is forced induction. :tup:

stillen!

I'd looked at all the options and was pretty convinced I wanted to go with the Gen 3s. Found a few threads on the post MAFs from Z1 and a drop in (I went with K & N) and decided to go that route. $300-$400 less than a full intake, easier to install / clean and at least part of the gains. And pretty blue tubes, too. :)
In fact, FedEx just dropped off my filters a few minutes ago so I'm going to do the install tonight.

the sad part about the drop-ins is that start to finish it only takes about 2min and no tools needed. not enough fun 'modding.' :icon17:

yah, i run post-MAF tubes too (HPS)... black.

Stillen's available for 11' Nismo by any chance?
