Hi there,

As you guys can see I'm a noob here and to the whole G35/Import Scene...I was into Domestic and had 3 fords before, last one was a mustang...

well anyways, I searched but didnt find the information I need...I'm looking for a comparision of intakes and the power (even tho its very minimal) that they produce with dyno charts if possible...

Also which one is considered to be the best intake out there?

I'm currently leaning towards Cold Air Intake from Injen but don't know about the other brands...

Thanks

 

Go short ram, CAI is said to lose power with our engines. There is not a BEST intake, they all have the same gains. Highly doubt you'll find a dyno chart for our car with JUST an intake but just go with a Z-Tube and a popcharger.

 

z-tube + amsoil panel filter FTW

 

but short ram would make less power since it will take in hot air from the engine...

but cold air would take longer for the air to go up but its cold air...

hmmmm, so no Injen CAI?

 

all intakes suck. Technically any CAI is superior to any short ram setup like the poop charger. However, there are conflicting dyno numbers dispositive that any intake is beneficial to the VQ. Off the bat most NA boltons for the VQ blow donkey ballz

 

Just save your money for a better mod and find a z-tube off someone for around $50

 

yeah intakes are basically just for sound... they dont really do anything special besides make you waste more gas cause the sound cool at WOT!!!

 

i have an injen cai, and i love it. it sounds great!!!

 

Some of you guys don't have a clue, Intakes serve a purpose when combined
with (example) MotorDynes spacer 5/16" or 1/2" and a high flow cat-back
exhaust system....Air in....Exhaust out. Not to mention it sounds sooo sweet.
Stillens CAI is one of the best on the market and doesn't have issues with
HEAT SOAK which many metal open filter units do....it's summer time....keep
everything cool!

HEAT IS YOUR ENEMY!

 

thanks gary, your car looks cleannn and u seem to have alota mods....i might check out the stillen one....is there a major difference between the stillen one and the injen?

do you have any pics of it? how much did you spend on it?

 

buy used on here to save money, everyone is doing it.......

 

my .02...

-on heatsoak: it's ur upper plunum that''s gonna cause the most heatsoak

-CAI vs SR: technically, any intake that draws air from infront of the radiator is a true CAI. the stock set up is pretty much a SR because of the power duct. CAI pipping heats up worse because there's more of it. SR that still uses the factory duct is still cold air as long as there's a heatshield near the filter. no aftermarket intake makes more than a few hp w/o a tune but alot of them DO loose power.

-Best intake for strait up performance: OEM 350Z-tube & hf panel filter

-Best out of the box intake system: Z-tube & Stillen hf box

-Best intake all around(sound, looks & performance): poished intake pipe(ARC or any polished type Z-tube) & JWT pop-charger

-My setup: ARC + JWT + Blitz

My performance mods:
-JWT Popcharger w/Blitz SUS filter
-ARC intake pipe
-Motordyne 5/16" Iso-Thermal plenum spacer
-AMS light wieght pulleys
-HKS Twin Power DLI-II ignition amp
-Stillen grounding kit(silver)
-NGK Laser Platinum spark plugs(one step colder)
-Stillen engine damper
-DC Sports ceramic coated headers
-Kinetix High-Flow Cats
-Stillen Generation 2 dual-path cat-back exhaust
-Technosquare ECU reflash & tune

 

Ztube with k&n drop in.. or a Stillen cold air intake.. Only mods that guarantee a gain/ no loss


F@CK INJEN. INJEN BLOWS!!!!!!!!

 

one is a cai. the other is not.

 

The stillen looks so oem in a good way when installed
