Whats the best type of intake for the coupe
#16
I would go with the INJEN Cold Air Intake. I have it myself, so I may be a little biased, but I did my research and asked around...and ultimately i think it is the best choice. If u want a good price on it, i bought mine from VividRacing.com= http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/p...ducts_id/17236
Although what Silverbolt said is true, technically speaking short-rams should work as efficiently as the long-pipes, so if u are looking at shortrams, that wouldn't be a problem given that the g35 coupes come with one anyway (of course it is subpar).
-Good Luck

Get a Z-Tube first.

The best all around solution intake-wise for these cars is the Stillen/z-tube combo. You'll get the best bottom end result and and top end band as well. the mid end just flies by.
If you don't care about bottom end - because your an MT, have gears and pulleys or a TQ converter for an AT - then Injen is the best for all around top end -
There's no other considerations out there - for any other reason. Honestly. There are other units to buy - sure, but these are the top results - from the top companies for a reason.
They DO WORK - it depends on what your after. If you just want noise, but don't want to suffer power-wise noticeably anywhere, or are not looking for power gains either - you SHOULD just go for Z-tube.
This is my opinion - but it is a tested and qualified one.

i got nismo cai on mine i like it sounds nice feels like more top end and less bottom sometimes. but in order for it perform as advertised you need to let that air get out after it gets in. if you have stock exhaust you probalby wont notice too much but once you do headers and exhaust or FI how ever you want to go thats where the difference is. they shouldnt even sell just intakes it should come with headers and exhaust to get what your looking for, but i guess its cheaper to do a peice at a time. i just have cai on my g but on my last car i bought it peice by peice didnt really feel anything dyno numbers showed little gains for individual peices but all together in the end i got good gains

Fact.
Fact.
Your analogy is more like apples to pineapples. An average guy in my car in AutoMode letting it shift on it's own will beat that good driver.
Actually answering the poster's question with fact would be great however. There is huge supportive dyno proof that Intakes help. Now they help in different ways depending on the design and what the consumer is looking for, so educating the poster of the thread, is what this is about.
Intakes can also hurt performance, if other mods are not done, if certain intakes are chosen and used certain ways without other mods - but if you haven't tested or researched that, you wouldn't know - and I'm not saying you don't - but the poster of this thread certainly doesn't and wants to.
Just saying all they do is make noise so stay stock because someone will out drive you, is a cop-out answer if you ask me.

Ahhh one of the few posts that make sense in this forum. Good work. My car was faster than 350z with my bolt ons and they had bolt ons. So I guess my mods didn't work per other peoples ideas here.
