Talking New cold air intake??

So i just bought a 04 g coupe and i want to put in a cold air intake. Any know which is the best one i should go with, what are aome good brands. I think im going to do the Injen SP Cold air? COLD AIR OR SHORT RAM Z TUBE?
some ideas? Whats the difference between this intake http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...Q5fAccessories

or the z tube and intake.... The price is about 150 dollars difference and they both look the same and probably do the same thing... so what wrong with the 30 dollar intake from ebay?

Search...

Been discussed many times but your best off putting in a Z tube with K&N drop in filter combo. You can get it at www.everythingg35.com. The Z tube is the stock air tube off the 350z. This is the setup im running and you can def tell the added sound and high end torque. Dont expect much tho.

Z tube (stock 350z intake) and a K&N filter.... everything else is just for sound..

I actually did have gains with an AEM cold air as I had an aftermarket Top Secret bumper so the filter sit right there infront of the opening with all that air ramming in.

i know they dont give u much of a gain but i defintaly noticed a little more giddyup. before cai while flooring it from a stop- just accelerating fast.... after installing cai while flooring it from a stop- accelerating fast but when 4k rpms come around the *** end of my car kicks out and tires spin. (keep in mind its a 5at with the vdc off and tires have 60% of their tread) and the 20 degree weather we've been having in nj has contributed to that too. sorry to sound like a infomercial.
