I was thinking of getting this Bonz CAI with a K&N filter...is this a bad idea?...will i see the same gains as other CAI's?

Here's the link on ebay...tell me what u think:

just got with KN tycoon, I am very happy with mine.

 

...i guess its a bad idea...I just think its silly to spend 300$ on a tube that gets 5hp gain.

 

^^if that. Get a drop in filter and the 05-06 revup airbox if you don't already have one and call it a day.

 

Bomz intake drops the filter too low and allows the possibility of injesting water which I consider a very bad idea. We have much better options for intakes on our rides....

I would get Fujita, or stillen z tube. or Ztube + JWT pop charger combo. They all give you nice sound.

 

Thanks guys, after some research i decided to go with Z-tube and drop in K&N filter. Not a bad upgrade for 90 bucks. I was wondering; I found several step by step instructions to install the Z-tube...but does anyone know of a video...its cool if not. Thanks again guys.

 

You really don't need a cai. The only thing you need to do is improve the existing airflow path to the engine. Our intakes provide adequate volume, smoothing and increasing the tract is what's important, and what most intakes do. However, most of these intakes are metal, which is the worst for heat absorption. Your Ztube/better panel is the best option. The next mod you could do intake wise would be a stillen air box which retains the oem cold air tract, has a taller velocity stack, and allows you to use aftermarket conical filters which do provide better airflow.

Long story short, avoid long metal intakes.

 

I agree! Every G35 comes with an excellent stock intake!

OP, that thing looks like a piece of CRAP!
