[Official] "Which intake should I buy for my Z?" thread.

nynhex · 05-03-2011, 11:57 AM

I just bought an 09 370z and would like to throw an intake on it. I'm tossing around the AEM or the Stillen G3.

Can anyone give me advice on what's the best bang for the buck for our platform?

Best bang for the buck? Neither of those...

depends on what you want, some of the intakes also serve a purpose in making the engine bay more aesthetically pleasing also... it all really depends on your budget and your preference

I'd like something that makes the engine bay look nice but also performs. On my 350z I had Stillen intakes but they were like pop-chargers. Not as visually pleasing but they worked well. I saw the Stillen G3 they looked nice and were unique but I need some advice from those already familiar with the 370z platform.

I haven't seen any major complainants about the stillen G3 but I think the Injen gets about one more whp... so really its up to you haha. Most reputable intakes out there are close in performance gain the major difference is which one you like most

Stillen gen3. They sound great, look great and provide excellent gains. I mean its a Z, you cant go wrong w Stillen.

Most people go with the gen 3's, they look, sound and perform great, can't go wrong. If i were modding on a budget I would do drop-ins and maf tubes.

I myself am in the market as well. I'm looking for a used Gen 3 to pop up for sale. If not I'm getting the Takeda Attack cold air intake that is due to release soon. msrp is only $350.

Most people go with Injen, great performance and sound, easy access, dry filter is a plus, comes in black.
