The more opinions on these intakes the better

Also...I'm probably going to get a grounding kit soon. Considering an intake (obviously) and a Z-Tube. Are there any other mods that are cheaper/cost-effective?
Unless you are going for looks, don't bother with the grounding kit. There are no proven gains, it's a plecebo.

That's what I've heard. I get a good amount of delay in manumatic mode mainly when shifting...so this should help.

Yep, ordered it yesterday

I guess intake/Z-tube is really the only other step right now that is a cheap(er) mod.

I'd say get a 5/16 spacer instead or some sways.

Good purchase!

Yeah I was looking at the spacer, but I'm not that confident I could install that myself...and don't know of any places around here that would install them so I'll have to look into it.

I haven't really looked into sways...could somebody give me a summary of them? (or your experience with the Stillen sways)

I have the Hotchkis sways and really like them. Totally changed the handling dynamics of the car. Well worth the $300 dollars.

Also, the spacer install is really easy. There are some good DIYs on here and on infinitihelp.com as well. If I had to do it all over again the spacer and sways would have been my first 2 mods.

What exactly changed? Was the ride just stiffer? I'm not exactly sure what all they do.

I've looked at that video...I'm not sure How heavy is the upper/lower plenum? Did you install it by yourself?

Yeah I should probably rename the thread haha. I just want to get some mods that are cost effective.
