I haven't used one but....you spend 30 for the product, another 25-30 for shipping, that's 60. IMO...I would save another 10-20 bucks and get a z-tube. The ztube is something tried and proven to work, and not harm the car. The infiniti dealer even sells the z-tube. If money is that tight. You can buy the z-tube now and use it with your stock setup. Save some money and buy a pop charger (or a cone K&N filter) and install it.
Plus I wouldn't be soo worried about breaking something on my car. I would first be worried about fittment. There are already problems with the Injen and other CAI with rubbing on the air conditioner tube. These prob will be worse. Second, there have been some reports (not sure if they are true) of the Injen CAI causing the car to shut off. Now, not to say this intake will, but Injen is a big company that spends lots of money to make sure lawsuits don't happen. In reality, this company is prob some taiwan company that has a generic template and makes intakes.
To each his own...but be careful what you put in your car.
