I can't see it harming anything as you won't be going over 4k rpm anyway in breaking the car in if you're following the manual. I could be totally wrong, but if I got an intake I would just pop that sucker on.

Re: Intake before broken in?
Break in procedures are good to follow... you're breaking in your engine. A CAI will not harm your vehicle (unless you take your G diving [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]). Coilovers, exhaust, etc... should all be fine IF you keep your rpms varied and below the manufacturers recommended amounts.

JAMNG35,
Yeah I read that thread and the links it referenced. The link referenced was pertaining to motorcycle engines, not the VQ35DE. I'd rather follow Infiniti's recommended break-in schedule since they designed the engine. I "think" that's the safest thing to do... that's why I recommended it.
FYI, this is the first car that I've ever broken in (the others I ragged on from day one) and I've kept every car that I've ever owned for 6 or more years...

2004.5 Infiniti G35C-6MT, 8900 miles and going strong...
