I absolutely love the way these sound and feel when you hit the gas. Amazing!
i was wondering if anyone else noticed after installing these that the passenger side air filter sits at least an inch higher than the drivers side? the power steering fluid reservoir is right up against the air filter on one side and the radiator hose is up against the heat shield on the other. i was told no hoses should be touching the heat shield but i dont see how that is possible. Help

Yeah when you really stomp it it sounds alot deeper when it opens up. I don't know about hp gains..they say its 8-15 more.. not sure bout that. I can deff notice when the air hits it from 4000 -6000 rpms it really jumps. I love it

i am with you guys taht they dont add as much as they say but today at the airport i was reading a tunner magazine that did the basic 3 engine mods on a 350z and posted the dynos. it was at like 264 stock, exhaust bumped it to like 290, CAI bumped it to like 300, and osiris tune put it at 316, maybe 326? dont quote me on those numbers but they are in the same range, which sounds like pretty good gains to me!
because those are a cold air intake [longer tubes to place the filters basically behind the grill] which is supposed to provide more hp from the colder air. the stillen CAI requires modification to fit, you have to make a hole bigger. I will be getting the ijen CAI because it doesnt require modification.

It's all a bunch of BS, the stock intakes are great. You should just throw a quality filter in each box and call it a day. Either way you look at it, metal pipes and exposed filters (small filters at that) aren't gonna do ****.
I'm not knocking these intakes.... I have intakes too. I just want to get that out there.
The fact is that intakes alone don't offer much. You'll see a bit of an improvement through the higher RPM range but for the most part, expect nothing more than minimal gains. Short intakes need to be properly shielded to prevent too much engine heat from getting sucked in.
Even the long tubes offer only slight gains. Intakes should also be paired with a decent exhaust to get the most bang for the buck, both in terms of HP and sound.
Intakes can offer noticable gains on some cars, but the stock setup in the G is actually very efficient so there is not much that can be done to improve in this area.
The aftermarket tubes look awesome and the sound is killer. That should be your motivation. Any gains you get from it are just an additional gift. Dont go into it expecting any though. That was the question I was trying to answer.
