hmmmmmmm

But is that with or without a fan? Obviously airflow is different standing on the rollers than it is doing 100mph.

alot of people have the whole intake subject twisted. Intakes DO increase power. The thing is they dont do much as a stand alone mod. They shine when you do other mods to complenment them such as exhuast, headers, plenum,chip etc. Once you add all of these things together they all work hand in hand to make your perform better. Just adding an intake alone will do little if any to your performance....but it will make the car scream like a bastard lol.

Adding an after market intake also increases MPG as i have been told. I have to disagree with people saying that it is just for sound and looks. After taking apart the stock intake last night it is clear to me that an aftermarket intake will increase airflow. But the undesired effect from the MAFS has yet to be determined on the 07' G. Guess time will tell.

An intake that increases airflow will do just that... give you more air to the manifold. Without a subsequent increase in fuel to compensate, you're just running leaner and increasing mileage, but not hp. Doesn't make sense that you'll increase power by just adding air without reworking the AF ratio, and for that you need tuning. Then you'll have more power -- and reduced mileage since you're using more gas.

I think you would lose any of the ram air/cold air effect Infiniti tried so hard to design in this time.
