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

CBE alone will be about 20 hp. CAI on top of it will add about 8 more. The reason I said maybe is because my other option is dropins/tubes I just like the aftermarket CAI because it looks better imo when you pop the hood. I participate in shows and what not around the chicago area.

Dont worry about the filters. all of the aftermarket cai will not get wet unless you drive into a lake. The way they are positioned makes it almost impossible to get them wet from just rain.

I got a Magnaflow stainless steel cat back for my Challenger for $650 shipped and it's dual pipes, canisters, and all that. That's why I had a bit of sticker shock I guess. I still think the FI the best out there from what I've heard though. Even used folks are buying them for $1K which seems weird to me since brand new they're about $1200 - $1400 LOL

Regardless of the intake setup I'll run before after AFR, timing, intake temp., MAF etc. just to see how it compares. I'll be using the obdII port to data log.

It's nice these things have wide band AFR available through the OBDII port that saves a bundle of cash having to add that. I had to add a LC-1 wide band to my Challenger and it was like $400 with the gauge and all.

The nice feature though is the data logging/graphs and video overlay you can do.

I also have another program for windows (don't remember the name though) that came with the obdLink mx
