By all means, read the radar test results, overall results were that they couldn't be trusted reliably, even the high end models.

People that spend a lot of money on gimmicks that really don't work, never really want to admit they've been taken ! with the CAI and Detectors.

I'm not getting into a debate with you. You have repeatedly shown that you are unable to interpret data to form a statistically valid and meaningful conclusion devoid of your personal preexisting bias. You are free to your opinion, whatever it may be.

Marketing Gimmick - a trick or device used to attract business or attention - Webster Dictionary.

These are really just the gimmicks or fads, that the companies selling these devices, hope every new driver or new car buyer will fall for with every vehicle they buy.

To sum all of them up.

After market CAI minimal HP gains vs. cost, 370z already comes stock with good CAI intakes, cons = warranty issues, tuning issues.

Reusable oil type air filters = less filtration than cheap stock paper filter, possible dirt particle transfer during cleaning, MAS damage from excessive oil, high cost.

Radar/laser detectors, jammers = fools toys.
