Understood, thanks for the clarification. The scientist in me thinks it would be interesting to keep statistics on gains from the common mods. Especially interesting because there are more thank few folks that get dyno numbers. Could be a fun data set to play with.

the gains on the CAI vs HAI is only on the top end anyways. Only issue is the hot engine bay that can heat soak the intakes and rob HP on launches. But when cruising its all good. I dynoed the Typhoons and got ~6rwhp gains on them. I like the easy install and not modding the car to install them.

It probably can't "void" the warranty outright. If something you add or modify causes damage or premature failure, then a warranty claim can be denied. Better in theory than practice, but there are consumer protection laws that keep manufacturers from denying claims for modifications unrelated to the subject of the claim.

Sorry for revisiting an old thread, but my concern is as follows, since we're on an intake debate here. How would you rate the ease of filter replacement on the Gen3 intake? Does it require removal of the front bumper similar to the installation of the intake?

Also, if anyone can recall on the 350z the stock air intake was plenty adequate and I'd imagine it should suffice on the 370z with better filters and post MAF hoses. I'm sure with some modification to the airbox itself allowing cold air from the center of the front bumper or below the bumper to find access to the airbox would see increased benefits. I haven't peaked around, but for me having a CAI on my previous vehicle which required me to remove the front bumper to replace/wash it was a pain.
