hey guys!
I recently bought an 05' g35 coupe black on black i'm really loving the ride.
I am kind of having a hard time deciding what should i get first.
I was thinking of getting a K&N intake any suggestion please comment.
Thanks guys

 

definately don't get the intake unless your getting it purely for show because it will actually give you slightely less performance than your stock airbox

go with a Motordyne 5/16 spacer and if you have a manual get the MREV as well while your at it

you just lookin at performance mods or cosmetic as well?

 

Tell Jay to check the STICKY above that deals with that exact question!

Intake is a waste on this car...if anything just get a Z-tube/popcharger it's less expensive, but you don't need it.

 

+1,000,000 on that. Very first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread's title.

 

Ya gotta love how the members with very few posts have already formed an opinion on what this noobs first mod should be. Guess what, they're wrong! The Z-Tube is a good idea but a better choice rather than a pop-charger would be a K&N drop in filter. You're increasing airflow to the plenum but without the heated air from the exposed pop-chargers filter and metal tubing. Nothing kills HP in our G35s more than HOT AIR!

agreed^ Gary is correct

 

What about the stillen hi flow intake? it's essentially the same as the stock airbox, but you can fit a cone filter in there....

 

Isn't Nismo Catback exhaust better.
i love the stock sound. I want something similar to stock and bit louder.

 

yeaa I'm getting a z-tube with K&N filter for now
thanks

 

Hey now...Why are you bashing people with low post #? Just cuz we don't share every g*ddamm thing that's on our mind to get thousands of posts doesn't mean we don't know what's going on (hopefully).

Let's hear it for those that infrequently post

Anyway, the stock airbox is actually pretty efficient, although I swapped mine out for appearance reasons. If you're looking strictly for power, get yourself a z-tube, k&n filter and a motordyne plenum spacer and call it a day for the intake mods.

 

Deep thinks you should get a 5/16 md spacer. Best bang for the buck.

I would start out with a z-tube ($60 at stillen.com) k and n high flow drop in filter ($ 50 ) at any auto store, MotorDyne Spacer ( make sure to get the right one depending on your climate), and if you have money left over, start with some exhaust upgrades such as test pipes or high flow cats ( get resonated parts so you dont get raspyness),and a full catback exhaust system. The cats are probably the most restrictive part of the exhaust so I would probably start out with resonated test pipes or hfc's. Hope this helps!

 

Jay- says thank you
