Welcome to G35Driver skyline3fiftygt, sorry about the two above posters.


The OEM Intake for a g35 is already very good, you will see minimal gains if any with any other after market intake tube. Many people go with a Ztube( the intake tube from a 350z) and yes other companies make copy's of the Ztube(ie. stillen Ztube). You can grab a used Ztube from a 350z for about 40 bucks, that's what I paid.

From Stock Intake tube to a Ztube you will have a less muffled sound and a better induction noise. Many people keep using the stock air box because its really good but it does not give the best sound

Also many other people use a Ztube/popcharger combo which will make you loose a little low end power but you gain a little top end power, and it will sound better then with a stock airbox.

hope this info was helpful

and use the search its helpful too

 

ill say the INJEN CAI. have it and love it. i have no complains. i think it may be one of the best CAI out there

 

Were exactly did you find a Z-tube for $40?

 

I found a new oem z-tube off craigslist for $40 about two weeks ago.

 

You're better off getting a z-tube and buying a K&N drop-in filter, that's about as good as it gets in the "real world!" If you get one of those intakes with the exposed filters you'll be sucking hot air which kills HP, who wants that....anybody?

You don't have to apologize for my post. I stand behind it. First post already asking the most asked question on the forum . Reading is fundamental.

 

I understand but I believe forums are suppose to be helpful not bashful, its true he should of used the search but why not just answer his question?

Bashing noobs is what makes a forum turn into crap and get bad rep.

yup, I just posted a wanted ad and I got a reply I could of probaly gotten if for cheaper because he right away offered 40 for it but I am too nice lol.

 

lol that's hilarious...this is the reason I search for everything...but to answer your question Skyline, it would probably be best to go with a ztube and filter like garyC mentioned above...I personally went with the z-tube/popcharger combo

 

Yeah you do have a point there. I think I just wanted an excuse to post that picture lol.

 

you know that aem and nismo is about the same sh** right? better off with a z tube or injen. i had a injen rd on my g and my girl has a sp injen or some s*** like that.. was thinking about the whole z tube and the pop but i said f*** it and got injen.. no problems and i feel a lil kick into it when the filter is clean haha.
