There are a ton of cold air intakes out there, which ones do you recommend for most horsepower gains? I am thinking of getting the Stillen "Z-tube" Hi Flow intake kit. Any recommendations would be great!

 

there are tons of threads on this topic. but there all pretty much the same. ur not gona get much power. the most popular one on here is the ztube+popcharger. i myself have an AEM CAI and i love it

 

do it for the sound, not for the HP gain, you will be disappointed or just lie to yourself that the car feels faster when its the same BTW i had to post really fast because i have 666 posts and thats not cool!!!

 

why not just run with no intake? i.e. just the tube.

o.o

search it.

 

ummm.... short ram intakes (Ztube, stillen box, etc.) produce more noise. If you want power go for a cold air intake (AEM, Nismo, K&N).




p.s. SEARCH

 

whatever is the cheapest. don't waste your money...

 

This topic was discussed to death in the past with the most supported opinion being that of member G35_TX (search under his name for posts). The Stillen Airbox seemed to be the only one giving a 10 HP improvement.

 

use the damn search button...and the stillen got the gains on the sedan for that higher measurement

 

haha search button... but INJEN for me

 

TAke that back, i think im the only one on the board with cheapo ebay generic cai. i got super flamed on it, but i dont care, it sounds good to me.

 

haha if i want a cheap intake i would get those cardboard rolls that you roll wrapping paper with or what ever... get that and make that a cool air intake and for the filter i would use a coffee one haha... double layer that

 

LOL, I bet it would sound hella mean

 

I once made a homemade cai out of pvc plumbing pipe, it actually turned out very nice.
