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

Has anyone put the Stillen Gen 3 intakes on a Nismo? I know you can do it by removing that brace, but it makes me wonder what that brace does

Has anyone put the Stillen Gen 3 intakes on a Nismo? I know you can do it by removing that brace, but it makes me wonder what that brace does exactly? If it helps to stiffen the car somehow, i wouldnt want to remove this...

I installed the HPS intake tubes with K&N filters a couple of days ago. My butt dyno says 5 easy.

Seriously, though, they look good and the sound is slightly different. Corsport claims a dyno proven 6 HP improvement on their site for just the tubes.

No, and a word of caution. For the install of Injen's CAI and AEM and now Nismo, the bumper will need to be removed for the install. Removing the bumber over a period of time can lead to eventual misaligned edges over time. When I need to perform cleaning maintenence on the filters I will jack up the front of car turn the wheel towards the inside and pop out the removable clip retainers on the plastic wheel well and pull it outward far enough to reach the filter, remove the screw and filter clean and reinstall. It's actually quicker than removing the bumper....only 4 (total) pop out clips versus a gazillion on the bumper removal.
