There are many products and even more opinions so you'll just have to do a little research and decide.

If you narrow it down to 3 or 4, you could ask users to comment on them to help you choose in the end.

i have the nismo v2 and i'm loving it. It also comes with a bypass valve. I'm also selling my z-tube for 55 bucks shipped with tracking#, it's about 3 months old.

I installed the Injen CAI last week. Easy install except for maybe 1 bolt and getting the filter in. I love it, sounds SICK at 3500 rpms and the little chirp it makes is to die for Get the Injen CAI!

I did all the intake variables and found the Z-tube/Popcharger or Z-tube Stock filter inlet to be my favourite.

i put the stillen cai with the carbon 350z tube and honestly it sounds sweet. The factory exhaust roars with this setup and u can feel a lil more pep from it. But like many will tell u if you looking for hp gains look else where. :O) plus with the stillen my dealer dident even notice i removed the stock air box and u dont have to worrie about any water getting sucked by ur intake :O)

My Infiniti dealership installed the Z-tube for me, loving it. It's not very noticable or loud though but has been proven to add almost 5 hp from dyno runs? Its probably the cheapest bang for the buck for intake mods. and its covered under factory warranty.

its like asking what color shirt to buy

they're made the same way but its a matter of prefrence. which do you think looks better?

but if you want a deeper, louder sound go with the JWT pop/ Z

CAI is way to go

SRI draws hot air from engine bay, not a gd idea of getting more power

not necessary to lose power, but the power band shifts up north and you would never get able to use the power in high rpm
