I just purchased an '04 sedan and am wanting to install a CAI and exhaust, but it is not clear which systems I should select.
With the CAI, the JWT seems to be a popular selection, but at the same time, Stillen seems to have an 11+ hp gain with their option. Injen also seems to produce some gains, though it is not clear how much.
As to the exhaust, there are choices all over the board. Everything from Borla to Stillen to Injen, etc., and it is not clear which is the best for the sedan. I saw that there was a legendary FI project that would've provided symmetrical dual, but seems to have been canned.
Basically, any and all advice for a new purchaser would be appreciated with respect to my CAI and exhaust options. My apologies to those of you who despise a redundant question.

I went with the following and I have been happy with them
JDM Z tube (350z intake tube, no huge resignator like the OEM)
JWT Pop charger and heat shield
HKS exhaust (not sure about gains, but tourque seems higher, lighter than OEM) sounds great
Coupe Mid pipe (sedan mid pipe resignator is huge and weighs alot)
Sounds great IMO (and others). Looking into a spacer, prob motordyne, but will do that in the spring
