I thought it was like the longer the intake the more power you get.... I was building a maze around my engine out of pvc pipes... way to shatter my dreams.

The guy said you need a 10% increase in power to feel it...I disagree.

A 2005 g35 sedan is definitely more responsive than a 2004 g35 sedan and that's only a 7% increase (correct me if I'm wrong).

With that said, I use the stock airbox
