The stock intakes are still restrictive at the over 6,000rpm, regardless if they are getting cool air away from the engine bay. Tube diameter and new filters account for most of the gains. AEM, Stillen, AAM, Takeda, Akuma, and Injen have CAI's. That's a lot of companies creating a product you think does not work.

Below is a link to AEM's news article on the Nismo 370Z intakes.

If you don't like them, then dont buy them, don't spread BS that they can only gain hp if you have other breather mods. It's untrue.
Looking at the mods your car has, it also has a lot of exhaust work done to it, that and the CAI will benefit a lot, but not with a CAI alone.
