My car is a 5AT
and whats the difference between k&n/popcharger

 

The popcharger doesnt really do anything performance-wise, a simple drop in K&N filter will give you plenty of air flow for a decent price, and combined with the OEM Z-tube it has been dyno proven to give the best results.

 

so replace my tube with a Ztube and drop in a k&n filter?
or should i get the typhoon k&n kit?

 

All you need is the OEM nissan Z-tube from a 350z, you can get one used for like $40 and a K&N drop in filter... not a cold air intake, not a typhoon kit, just the filter.

When you look at it you will realize that the Z-tube gives you the shortest path from fresh air to throttle body, and it's plastic which eliminates heat soak and robs horsepower with the metal "cold air intakes"

here you go. Under $400

 

If you watch the marketplace you can find some good deals sometimes

 

and as far as installation goes with the Ztube and drop in filter i would just take out my intake tube, put in the Z one and then attach the filter to the front of it?

 

yup. should take 15 mins, max

 

alright guys i have a 04 5AT coupe. im almost done with the looks of my car. now its time for performance. i already have a takeda CAI and have a Kinectix V+ plenum coming in shortly. im looking into exhaust and from what ive seen on the forums, members are saying that if u dont want to dish out 1000+ for a full exhaust system to go for some HFCs. now ive heard good things about the Kinectix HFC and the Fast intention HFCs. cant decide what to go with. Also ive been looking into those new motordyne ART pipes. im looking for both gains and trying to make my stock exhaust sound as loud as it can. i live in texas but im not sure what the laws are on sound. plz let me know i need ur help

 

^ get the ART pipes, more money but worth it

 

hey guys i have an 03 6sp coupe and i want to make my car good on the performance end. but i dont know which route to go. i dont have to much money so whats the best thing to buy for the least amount of money? speaking like 1000 cash budget..

 

1) A 3.7/3.9FD differential will give you a little more pep.
2) Or 5/16 plenum spacer, HFC's or test pipes, modified intake and an Osiris tune.

 

1)where can i buy those?
2)I've looked at spacers but idk if i should buy the kinetix plenum or the spacers? i have a z tube and filter right now. Test pipes dont pass emissions tests and ive been worried about that. which hfc's do you recommend?

 

^Buy a 5/16" Motordyne spacer. Your butt dyno will notice the most gains from that. Also, go with Fast Intentions or Berk HFC's.

 

thx. I'll look into that. Much Appreciated
