Is it really worth putting a Cold Air Intake on 370z and what HP gains

Look at the old test results by motor trend with 370z base model vs. the 370z nismo and even with the extra hp the nismo had, it performed worse than the older 370z base model. So I really doubt if a 5-10hp increase your driving experience that much from a CAI or airfilter change.

It wasn't due to the air filter/exhaust though. I'm with Z_ealot, I'm going to agree to disagree. It looks like you are trying to convince everyone that your way is best, to each their own i say. If you don't want an aftermarket filter fine, but your opinions aren't going to change my mind. I'm almost at the point of saying we are being trolled.

+1 You gotta take some of the things people are saying here into consideration. Is it that hard to believe that technology has improved and that "real" research and development were invested into creating these after market filters? The end result is a filter with increased air flow and better filtration.
