There's a third choice and it doesn't present any issues with heat and the filter is K&N but much larger than the drop in....Stillens CAI/Z-Tube combo. Cost is slightly higher but the end result is well worth it....
Stillen....1-800-889-9043 or view it on stillen.com under intakes.

It has been proven time and time again by dynos here that the stock air box/z tube with (your choice here) high flow air filter creates more HP. Most "pop(pycock) charger" type of after market air cleaners are more for noise (which I like) than for performance.

Just checked it for you, go by vehicle....Infiniti....G35C....Stillen Z-Tube intake system....Part # 402834....$241=
This system makes the most HP with cooler air, larger filter (really big) and sounds amazing. I've been using it for 4+ years.
