So im sure there already is a thread SOMEWHERE about this.

Just wanted to get a quick opinon on which one i should go with.

Also which brand?!

injen
aem
k & N

Let me know what you guys think

 

get what u can afford

i got a Polished Fujita F5 Short Ram for $155 shipped on ebay

 

damn thats a pretty good deal! But i mean theres not much difference between the two.....?

 

i dont know the difference but i kno cold air intakes goes all the way down to the left front bumper air duct

 

Generally speaking, SRI will give you some low end gains, almost nothing top end. CAI will give you higher overall gains, some low end loss, and good top end gains.

But CAIs/SRIs do nothing for our cars, the stock intake has proven to be the best performance wise. So if you buy a CAI or SRI, research sound clips and pictures, and just buy based on cosmetics.

 

Damn thats good information right there! Thanks bro

 

get a jwt pop charger and a ztube. you wont be dissapointed and its cheap.

ztube you can get used for 50
the popcharger get new for 109 (everythingg35.com)

 

Short rams like the AEM are susceptible to heat soak. You won't notice any loss in the winter when the temps are low, but when it gets hot out, you will have a very noticeable loss in power and response due to the heatsoak.

Heat shields are pretty worthless as a defense against heat soak, but at least we have an ram air piece for intakes with heat shields like the JWT or Stillen...

 

IMO the nismo CAI is the best for the money, good gains in the mid to high range.

Short ram I'd use more on a rainy day or such and CAI for normal days , saying that the stock intake box has been proven to be better than a aftermarket intake, I'd like to see the sheets or proof for that

The Nismo CAI has had some good gains on it and by far better than stock . I mean look at the stock box, tons of air flow restriction, while a CAI or short ram is straight through flow....

Anyways my 2cents so its just something to think about.

Goodluck on what ya pick man

 

Z tube/ K&N filter... Safest and best performing out there.

ANYTHING that has to deal with the pop charger blows. I had it and switched to AEM cold air.. felt a huge difference... the pop charger heat soaks a lot.

 

Are the intakes from E-bay really authentic? I've been kind of hesitant buying any parts from ebay for the fear of it being an imitation.

 

Fujita F5 is not an ebay intake.. They are great sounding quality intakes... Its just that ebay is offering the best price on them.

 

yea ive still been looking and researching....just dont know exactly what i want to go for yet!! ****ing blows LOL

 

I havnt felt any loss at all with my popcharger...

 

they ebay tubes are the best quality in the world, but a lot of g owners have gone in and bought one just for the intake tube to add it along with whatever filter they add to the front end of the intake...
