I've done Injen - - took it out; nothing against Injen, but the tech installed in wrong and it chocked my AC line...my Coupe literally died on the Highway!
Highly recommend AEM CAI+plenum spacer+stillen true-dual cat-back: This combo is about as good as it gets. My '03 Coupe is like the 'Thrilla in Manila' (as Ali used to say); exhaust note and HP gains are amazing!!!

Ahhhh!
Dumb me, I didn't catch the abbrev. for Cold Air. I thought ya'll were quoting a "brand", LOL.
Well, I'm still undecided. I see the STILLEN online and it looks like a nice kit, but I hear good things about the Z-Tube + K&N Filter Combo. I guess it's just a guessing game plus a decision on how much you want to spend right?
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS SHOPPING FOR Stillen, K&N CAI, Injen etc??

Best intake is the Stillen or the K&N and stock. Nismo or Injen or a few other long CAIs do not perform as well due to how far the air has to travel. They have shown loss of power on the dyno over the first two I mentioned. Stillen CAI pulls cold air. Remember, the closer you get to the HOT ground, the less cold air you get. The best place to pull the air is where the stock/stillen intake gets it from.

I was wondering which would be the best "bang for the buck":
A.) Nismo [[OR ANY OTHER FULL COLD AIR INTAKE...Meaning the tube extends the entire way down towards the front bottom of the car to catch the coldest air]]
OR THE
B.) Stillen Hi Flow Air Box along with the OEM Z Tube.
Any advise or suggestions are MOST welcome.
Thanks Guys!

Maybe it will be a mixed of "Best of Both Worlds"...
What do ya'll think? Will I see any difference between the K&N DROP IN filter vs. the Stillen Kit with the Cone Filter etc etc...
