08 G35S sedan modification
 

I'm new here and was told to check out a forum with my questions. I am thinking about doing some slight modifications to my G35S. Maybe try to get a little more pep out of it and a little sound. I'm not looking to do any exhaust, just some intake and anything else anybody may recommend. I've researching some dual intakes, just kinda lost on what to go with. I'm not looking to run into any tuning issues or AFR issues. Thanks in advance for any help you folks may offer!

I wouldnt recommend intakes. But if you want, go with stillen gen 3 long tubes... or fujita. Anyways, stick around and browse a lot. Youll find some info. Good luck and enjoy the great car!

I have a Injen CAI and my 08' G35 S Sedan runs perfectly fine and has a nice low grunt and pick up. It came with my car,I looked it up and its a safe upgrade from the stock air box. Good luck

A little more pep. How about a cf drive shaft? I am working on the group buy

If you have the funds Twin Turbos, you'll more than enough pep and you will have a little sound...

Not so sure about the CF shaft or turbos quite yet, kinda easing into this one. Thanks for the help! I'll check out those intakes. I had one on my truck and liked it.

I have the R2C intake system and I love it. Stillen Gen 3's are nice but it required more effort to get it installed. Ive also heard good things about the Injen intakes too.

I was just about to ask if anybody had any info on the R2C, right now it's looking between that and the Stillen Gen 3. I did see where it is kind of a pain to install the Stillen, so was leaning more towards the R2C. I've been told Injen and AEM, but am having a REAL tough time finding either for an 08 G35.

I have R2C intakes. They're really good and have great sound even during low speeds. The noise is just a little more growl than stock at idle and when you go WOT it really gets loud. The install isn't that difficult, but you're going to have to cut some vacuum hoses that are included with the kit to have it fit completely. I love flooring it when I'm in a tunnel. The growl brings a smile to my face every time.

It's not a completely simple swap as some of us have said. Also, when you do install the intakes, you can take the time to clean the throttle bodies too since you're taking the stock intakes off anyways.

I got a great deal on my R2C black nickel chrome intakes ($390 shipped.)

These intakes are also lifetime warranty against peeling, etc, and you don't ever have to worry about water being sucked up since they're sitting behind the radiator, while the Stillen Gen 3 sits in front of the radiator and have a greater risk sucking water up in heavy rains, car washes, or deep puddles.

Injen intakes are worse in that they sit in the bumper, and are lower than the Stillen Gen 3's so they have even a greater risk sucking up water when going through a puddle.

Where's a good place to buy online?

If you do your research, you should find that that is pretty much exactly ALL you will get for the $$ and effort (assuming you get one of the better intakes), and if you choose one poorly, you may actually lose power and gain only noise. :icon43:

I had the R2Cs on my car. They were a bit of a pain to install when trying to figure out the hoses for the first time. The sound at WOT was great--added an exotic sound to the car. But, when I went back to stock to sell the car it definetly felt like it had gained power with the stock intakes back on. I do live in Miami so I'm sure the heat didn't help.:cool:

I wouldnt get R2C intakes. Cold air intakes are te way to go if you insist on getting intakes. Otherwise stick with oem. You wont lose power like you do with any aftermarket intake

just FYI .. i used to have R2c intakes n i lost power with em.
swapped them with Stillen G3 n im :)

R2c sounds great tho ..

Not sure why people are saying you lose a lot power with them...if anything the power loss would be insignificant. My guess is that the ECU was reset so it seems that the car was more responsive and quicker.

If you look at the dyno, you can see that in some cars, the R2C intake performed better than Stillen Gen3.
