Help on choosing intake!!

Hey guys I really want to get an intake and I've been leaning on the (Weapon-R Neo-Ti finish secret weapon air intake system) can I get any advice on that or any suggestions on what I should get?

It looks like its aluminum. I would stay away from it. Aluminum suffers from heat soak. I would get a 350z oem z-tube or stillen. You dont want aluminum.oem $109 stillen $64

Z-tube and k&n panel filter is the best way to go on our cars.

Best sound comes from the aftermarket Short Ram Intake without issue of hydrolock. Look at the R2C intake, that is a dry filter that has a wonderful sound.

I have never seen anyone run that Intake but it looks mean! I've yet to see a neochrome intake, but like above posts say it would increase your intake temp more then a few degrees. I think you should get it and report in on the sound, feel, and longevity of it...!

Looks like they are out of stock, but that is quite expensive for a neo-chrome painted intake. Plus they make some ridiculous claims of increasing mass air flow by 3 times... YEAH RIGHT. Reason I say this is because choke is still the same size at the throttle body.

I second what seymore4 said. If you get the aluminum z-tube you will need to use the connecters from your g tube. They say when you stop the aluminum tube will heat up! Heated air robs performance!

Plus it sounds like he put a turbo in his car! Sweet! That'll go great with my brembo covers. People will think I have brembos, a turbo..

What else can I get to make people think I have stuff?

Too bad our cars don't have dual intakes. Then we could have like TWO semi turbos. Dope!

you could paint the tails black and make the car reflect your inner aggressive self and simultaneously make it harder for people in broad daylight to see you stopping! Then I guess once you get back home you hop on your trusty windows 98 and look for more car parts and sign up on fb for that import meet with all dudes behind Sams club. Once you get those jdmasfvck performance mods and theyre installed, make memes about how women in general are confused about their choices between your "G" and "the D". Your boys will love it!!

Oh *** it's time! Those azzhole honda guys wanna race! Weapon R here's your chance to shine ol' trusty pal. My butt dyno told me I'm ready so I'm ready. Let's rumble.

I return!! Adrenaline racing. That D17 motor with a replica mugen shift **** didn't stand a chance!! I blew past him so fast! Lol I am so making fun of him in homeroom tomorrow #gforlyfe

Alright fam it's time to get some shut eye. Skyline 350gt love for life! Peace
