Well the cai does work in keeping your engine cooler if you like that.

If you want performance, get the airbox from a revup engine (2005-2007 MT coupe 2005-2006 MT sedan) if you want sound the popcharger will work fine for you. Theres a debatable loss of power with CAIs though

Don't buy an intake for performance... as mentioned above.. Just get what you think looks/sounds good. Stick with JWT, Injen, Stillen, RC, Nismo, etc.. There is a LOT of info on this forum with pics and sound clips. I had a Z tube and JWT for a bit and it sounds really nice. I am back to Ztube, OEM revup box and K&N.. The JWT was a bit loud once I got my new exhaust.

That's definitely an eBay special.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-WA...sories&vxp=mtr

See? Look at the MAF adapter in OP's picture compared to the one in the auction.

OP, if I were you, I'd make sure your intake doesn't have that "washable stainless" filter that comes with the intake installed. That doesn't sound any safer than taping a window screen over your intake...

You gotta love this forum. He even found your broke azz Ebay especial for you. Check out the Marketplace on this forum. I bought all of my intakes from there.

Is the Stillen airbox as good as the factory airbox? I can't find a complete airbox by Infiniti online or locally. Any help is appreciated. I am trying to get the homemade intake the last guy had put on it off. Most recommendations are for the airbox.

I think the OP can give you a good price on his.

I thought there was, but I can't find anything (egh, don't feel like looking this morning...).

I have a modified stock intake tubing, with a velocity stack and an AEM Dryflow filter. Car felt a little punchier from a dead stop with that over the stock DE airbox. But anything beyond 3k RPMs felt the same.
