you can do a search, but since im bored i'll give you my 2 cents. CAI are proven to not do very much and in some cases they lose power. There are short ram like Fujita, or Z-Tube with Pop Charger, or Z Tube with Stillen. In colder climates they work fine, but in hotter climates you can find youself losing power. Imagine the 100 degree air sitting around your hood, and when your car is sitting at a light all that hot air jsut accumulates, so when the light hits green your car will bog or feel sluggish because of all the hot air going into the intake. From my experience, and from what i've gathered here, the best bet seems to be the Z-tube and the K&N drop in filter with stock air box. If that looks too boring, spice it up with a Chrome, Polished, or Carbon Fiber Z-Tube from Unlimited Tuning. Enjoy.

guys, an intake wont do anything but make your car louder. i have a z tube and popcharger.

a z tube is the intake tube running from the filter to the manifold. the stock G one has some resonators built in. the 350z tube is simply...a tube.. overall its good for sound, but questionable for performance.
