Question Nismo Cold Intake vs. OEM Z Tube w/ K&N??

Guys,

I'm ready for my FIRST mod as small and simple as it may be.

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!

I have the Z-Tube with the JWT Pop-Charger... It seems pretty good, I don't know how the CAI would compare, but I personally didn't want the remote-filter.

Search the forum. After you do you will probably come to the conclusion that the most popular mod would be Z-tube and K&N Filter.

SEARCH!!.....but anyways. most common way is going Z tube plus the filter. Even though its not as loud as a CAI, it has been proven that the combo gets more HP gains than a CAI that even at times has shown a loss of power. if you want loud, get the Ztube plus the popcharger, its loud cheaper, and shows better gains than any CAI.

They are both pretty much the samething. Waste of time to discuss about which intake, cause imo they dont do much to begin with. I guess if your lookin for best bang for the buck, then go with ztube and kN filter. They are cheaper, but CAI would certianly look better.

What's this "CAI" ??

I'm thinking that I'll end up with the Z-Tube and K&N Filter like some suggested. Sounds good to me!

Thanks Guys,

CAI - cold air intake.
there was this long post about intakes and according to g35_tx...stillen gives you the most reliable gain.
BUT if i was gonna get one, i'd get injen.
