I have the K&N Typhoon CAI and I love it...
Go with the stillen and Ztube, stillen because of the heat shield/box. when I first installed my stillen it wasnt too loud and didnt roar like others had stated it did make a cool hissing sound when WOT.
I also didnt feel any gains but once i added my ztube
it reaaly opened things up and now i can finally say it roars and i feel a slight kick in the upper rev range.
This is the setup to go with aliitle pricey but def worth it !

^ like I told you in the pointless thread you CREATED to ask this question...S-E-A-R-C-H
. You will learn so much more than someone giving you a quick answer. You'll discover other options, the pros the cons, opinions on sound, maintenance etc. You could have answered your own question by now..stop spamming the threads.

The Z-Tube and K&N drop in filter is the easiest way to go and would probably work well enough for some members. However the Stillen CAI including his Z-Tube has that giant K&N cone filter which flows much more air then the small panel drop in....always my choice!

I have an 06 automatic g35 coupe stock everything. Im only 17 so I can't afford to pay over like 400 for an intake or exhaust system. But my goal is to make my g more loud and hissier as in sporty. It's too quiet for me as a stock. So I'm getting a Z tube forsure but I hear I have to buy 2 intakes?? Is this true? Also what else do I need to buy besides the z tube, thanks

Two intakes are only necessary for the HR platform. You have a DE, you only need 1. If you're on a budget, install your Z-tube and remove the power duct on the stock airbox to achieve a little bit more induction sound. No it doesn't gain you HP and keep in mind that the power duct probably helps seal off additional heat.
Do you want performance? Or sound?
Fyi, you can have a Z-tube and still remove the power duct if you're looking for more induction noise on a budget (you also get to retain the stock airbox which flows more than enough air for your N/A car)...it takes all but 20 seconds to pop off the screws and remove it, no tools needed.
K&N + Z-tube is about 150 bucks. I use Apexi + Z-tube. If you're not worried about heat soak, pop-charger can be had for under $300 I think. (I've never looked it up cause I've never wanted one)
