Best sounding intake?

I agree with above. The gen 3's dropped the tone noticeably, even before my CBE. I would imagine, however, that most "long tube intakes" will sound the same takeda etc...

As for short ram, if power is not your goal (*GASP*) then I would look into the typhoon or Takeada's, my freind had a short ram on his 350 and it made the "hiss" much more noiceable and the overall sound a bit deeper. But the throaty growl from the gen3's when you punch it around 5k rpm is awesome and unmatched I would go that route if I were you

Thanks for the notes. I tend to go through cars as this is my 3rd z in 6 years with a number of other cars mixed in... I am keeping everything I change out stock so I can switch back when I sell, if ever. I love this car!

That being said I am a bit nervous to drill it out for fear of later... That's all. Maybe I will just need to do it!

Even after dremeling out the small amt, there are two plastic pieces that fit down inbetween yoru actual filter and the area. Nothing is affected at all. Its just opening the air flow a bit more to your OEM intake box.

I just completely returned my G37s back to stock to sell it. Even taking it into the dealers to get appraised, there's literally zero chance of seeing this area dremeled since its on the opposit side of the OEM intake box.
