In 2011 ETA declared a "permanent, general and verifiable" ceasefire with the expressed aim of ending its campaign.






















Just kidding dude - it means "estimated time of arrival"

I have had two different types of intakes installed on my z and it's all been a waist of money. Stay stock and keep a fast z. Intakes will make your car louder and slower. You will loose all the quickness. Just a nice exhaust and your set.



K&N drop ins are the way to go,,,,

Received mine yesterday. Not expecting any noticeable hp gains, just want to clean up the intake at a reasonable cost. K&N drop in filters helped the throttle response.

Instructions say to remove strut bar, engine cover, and a half dozen other intake items, along with disconnecting the battery and MAF sensors. Thinking this is overkill.

Plan on trying to squeeze this in like everyone else, if necessary I'll remove the strut bar and/or engine cover.

IMO the MAF sensor is not being changed or moved so no reason to disconnect.

Just bought a set of tubes/drop-in's. Supposedly are in stock, we shall see. This will be my first power mod. Not sure how much I'll get out of it, but if the but dyno is happy then I am happy.

The HP gain isn't significant enough for the butt dyno to detect (it's only ~5HP), but hey, it's cheap I'll admit that sometimes I think the throttle is a bit more responsive, and it pulls a bit more, but that could be the self-fulfilling prophecy of human nature. Please don't take this as me trying to be a douche, just trying to make your expectations more realistic and in line with the mod

Understood, and thanks! It's a cheap mod that doesn't make the car look like it was modded cheaply. And really 500$ for an intake system that might net another 5hp really isn't worth it for me at this time. I'd rather make my car handle and have it look legit.
