Questions on Selected CAI and Exhaust Choices

cantrelmZ

Bought a Z for my wife and we both agree stock exhaust and intake could use improvement. I've experimented a bit w/ my C5 weekend driver and know how CAI and the right CBEs w/ HFCs can increase HP after a tune. Anyway, I have the following questions on my 2 choices for intake and exhaust mods:

1) HPS hoses w/ K&N drop ins or RC2 CAI, is the RC2 any better? I would go with the G3, but want to stay close to a stock configuraiton so no worries about air filter changes and water.
2) Invidia Gemina CBE, does the system include the HFC? Is it a good bang for the buck? Also, it appears from the wave clips that there is no drone and little rasp, is this correct?

Thanks for your comments.

1) R2C is better and less maintenance.


2) pass

1) I would just go with the G3 call it the day. It will net the best results. You really wouldn't have to worry about filter changes for they don't have to be maintenance for supposedly near 50K miles. I'd probably do 20K myself. But all you have to do is remove the front clip which is to easy. So far as the rain no worries there also. The G3's have the best location when it comes CAI. Unlike others.

2) I'd pass also. Plenty of others out there you could choose from. Plus no exhaust system includes HFC's. If you are going to do HFC's or TP's I'd highly recommend doing them soon being you have a 2011 model. Alot of people have had problems with them and I believe it's because of the time waited to install them. I had no issues being my car only had 1000 miles on it when I did.

Also being your local (pretty much) I'd be more than happy to install these for you.
