hey guys looking for a good intake for my 05 sedan what would be a good company and good performance with a little better gas mileage

looking between INJEN, WeaponR, AEM, and Takeda which would be best?

 

Z-Tube with a drop in performance filter^

The Z-tube is the inermediate pipe off the 350 Z can be had for under $60

 

i want a full aftermarket setup not a stock piece from another car

 

Most people on this forum will tell you your wasting money, if you have money to burn then get whichever one looks best to you. None of them do anything for the car. They make noise but not power.

 

The stock setup on the Z is no joke, it is better than pretty well all the intakes out there based on my research.

If you add this tube and plug the baffling on the stock air box, and add a higher flowing drop in filter, you'll get pretty much the most well rounded intake possible for this car short of something completely custom and tuned, and it'll still sound awesome. It's also the cheapest option, which is nothing but a huge bonus.

If you're doing it just for looks, then buy whatever looks best.

 

how could they do nothing for the car at all? your smoothing out the pipeing so it gets a smoother flow and the air isnt choppy!

also does anybody know if i can use the lips that go on the coupes or not? and is there a difference in the bodystyles of the sedan from 03-06?

Not without significant modification

Yes, body style changed in 05. This included: front bumper, grill, headlights, hood, side skirts, rear bumper cover, and taillights, as well as some added/removed colors and wheel designs, and a different rear muffler section (tips sit slightly more outwards because of the different rear bumper)

 

Is there a specific way to adjust how the hood is connected?

For some reason, my hood isn't correctly aligned anymore.

i.e. if I try to lift the hood up, it gets caught on my passenger side fender. It seems like it's not aligned anymore.

No accidents or anything like that.

I was just wondering if there was a specific way to remedy that?

Page 13 is where you want to start sir.

 

You prob need new hinges, very common. Mine were replaced under warranty.

 

Thank you! I'll start looking through that thread.

Unfortunately, I'm not under warranty anymore (106k miles). Hopefully it's not too expensive if I have to buy it.

 

ok so where would be a good place to start looking for a lip kit for an 05 sedan?

 

also another question would be would the 03-04 bumper(s) fit on the 05 without any major issues?

 

Bumpers won't fit

 

so would this fit being that it says 03-07 or is it gonna not work and they lie about the yearset?
