K&N vs Takeda intake

kenny's 370z · 07-17-2012, 10:24 AM

i have done my research on here today concerning the z1 tubes and several have stated they felt better throttle response and more power.

in this link,the guy only had the drop ins and made a difference once coupled with a CBE.
DYNO - NISMO CBE and K&N Dropins

i wouldnt put too much faith in your mechanic friends.i have had the drop ins for 2 weeks now and i like em.i will be ordering the tubes here pretty soon as im satisfied from the reviews concerning throttle response.only trying to help here boss.GL

If the g3's didn't require cutting and bumper removal to change the filters I would have them right now. Cold air intakes are a pain on this car, luckily the stock setup is pretty ******* good.

what sold me on the tubes is when one guy on here stated he never would have thought the throttle response would be greatly improved just by changing out the oem hoses for the tubes.now i cant wait to get them.

I like the blue color of the new tubes but there rather minimal, the K&Ns are probably are going to win out overall
