the stillen cai is overpriced for what you get IMO, unless you get up to 6800 rpm's constantly and want good sound. Personally, I would just get the K&N drop in filters with mishimoto post maf hoses and save 300 bucks. I have the mishimoto post maf tubes with K&N's and noticed a DECENT amount of midrange, but thats most likely butt dyno. look for jomer on the forums for best price. Look for FBnissan on the forums here to get his contact info.

see my sig, I am of the same mind as you. BUT, some folks really love putting aftermarket CAI on their cars.

I agree, I just cannot understand why.....UNLESS they are doing it for the sound and if they rev up that high all the time.

But use the 300 bucks you saved by getting the hoses and K&N filters and apply it towards stillen sways or swift springs.

To be fair(ish), the stillen CAI will yield a few more whp peak, so if someone is looking to have the absoulute highest dyno #'s they possibly can, while not really worrying about little to no midrange gains, then the Stillen CAI is what the doctor ordered.

Chris, I need to give you a call so you can steer me right, I know I wouldnt drive my Z that hard, to where Im shifting at 6800 rpms.. so you're route sounds feasible.

And if you get a used set like I did, you don't have to spend all that much on it.
