injen cold air intakes! or still G3 intakes? wich is better

I'm not sure that is totally accurate. I have the Nismo R intakes and I can tell you from my seat dyno that they do make a difference. What you should consider is whether your willing to remove your front bumper every time you need to clean and recharge the filters. Hope this helps. Max gains are Stillen G3 for sure.

The Injen intakes need splash gaurds so for me thats a RED FLAG!

Stillen Gen 3 or Injen, those are all you should really consider if you are into power gains. All the others look "nice," but not worth the extra money.
Stillen:
-Take front bumper off
-Expand a little hole to slide tube through
+Top power gains
+Filters only need to be changed/recharged every 100,000 miles
+Bumper removal is 15-20 minutes the first time, but less than 10 after that. It is just getting to know where all the pop rivets and screws are.

Injen:
-Take front bumper off
-Change washer fluid container
+Solid gains (not as much as Stillen)
+Non-oiled filters so cleaning is a breeze, but again every 50,000 miles or more

Also, I was not aware of a true Nismo intake system for the 370z yet, many shops were selling the 350z Nismo intake system which sort of fits.

Theres no way you should wait 100,000 miles to clean and recharege a filter. Believe me I have hi performance filters in all my cars and waiting more than 30,000 and your filter will look and perform like sh!t! Give it a break, be real. If you have a garage then perhaps removing the bumper is no big deal. But I have heard a few stories from members that wish they never had removed there bumper due to realignment issues.

They don't need splash guards... not sure where you got that from.

for the install, bumper removal is not necessary.
you remove the wheel, and pull the splashguard back and out of the way.

I know for sure that Injen not only sells them but advises on it.

Where are you getting this information from? Taking off the bumper is easy and zero issues, please provide some information to people having problems.

That's for a short-tube intake.

The Injens we are talking about are the long-tube ones that move the filters to the fender wells.

tommyguns · 12-20-2009, 11:51 AM

I'm not here to knock any product. I will do a search for the splash sheilds the are used for the long tube. Just one thing, if those were for the short ram why would they need splash gaurds, there in the engine bay and not hanging down exposed to the elements like the long tube, just a thought. I would also like to add that I'm not here to make things up, trust me they sell them. I'm not trying to be a d!ck.
