Show me dyno results somebody, Nismo, INjen, stillen
Thank you
Thank you
if you want the best combo IMO would be Popcharger + Stillen Air Box and heat wrap the whole intake.. even the part that extends to the top of the radiator
then again if your expecting a power gain from an intake ur off to begin with.. because of the already well designed OEM box you wont see much if any gains with an aftermarket intake.. only rason i got one was for the sound

You obviously want to obtain a legitimate answer with no "BS." Thus, you will need to work for it. I trust you find what you are seeking.

DONT get an INJEN.. i had one on my 350Z and it DID hydrolock my engine.. my honest opinion is to not get an intake at all.. save your money and get a supercharger or something you're actually going to get power from.. the power you do get from an intake you wont even be able to tell a difference anyways.

I am very happy with the Injen CAI. If you decide to put this on, just dont go into an deep puddles. Simple, right?

Heatsoak is over-rated. your fine dude.. you dont need to change it.

Thank you for all the responses, and I feel bad for those of you who seem to never be able to answer a question without saying do a search. You need to grow up. I understand that bolt ons don't do much for the VQ but im not ready to go FI, and to those that can't read im also trying to feel the difference in my car progressively, step by step, i kno that CAI doesn't add much power, but im going to get one and im trying to make sure i get the best one. All i asked was for dyno sheets. YES, i did my reserch throughout the forums and found nothing that prooves which one is better, to some of you all mighty wise ones that say do a search, your not helping. If you know where it is though than help me out, but if not than don't reply with any smart remarks

It's funny to see people get their panties in a bunch over the possibility of adding 5rwhp. I guess we've all been there at one time or another, but come on... 5rwhp. You can get equivalent to that by taking out your spare tire or having your fat g/f go on a diet.
NA power gains are not worth the hassle.

Get the Stillen "cold air intake", not the true CAI with the piping down to the bumper where cold air is, because a heatshield around a filter in your engine bay works extremely great for getting cold air to your motor!
Does anybody have dyno numbers?
