Joe
Welcome to the forums. There's no right or wrong intake. They are all different and have different styling and sound. Click here Intake/Exhaust - Nissan 370Z Forum and scroll down the page (next few pages) You'll see them one after another. I believe STILLEN G3 is the MOST popular intake on the forum. There are few members with Injen long tubes, HKS, JWT etc. Good luck

Most people are reporting the most gains from the Longtube Intakes, like Stillen or Injen.
Some of the shorter intakes just don't ensure enough *cold* air gets in, and are showing very small gains, and in one (possibly anecdotal instance) case, a loss of power after the installation. Take into consideration, that each of the popular longtube intakes also have slightly more involved installation requirements. The injen, for example, requires aftermarket wiper fluid tanks to be installed. The Stillen G3 require slight widening of some holes in the diffuser plate (I hope that's the correct term). Definitely check out the exhaust/intake section for reviews/write-ups about the different intakes being offered currently.

G3 win!
Most that have gone with short rams have later upgraded to long tubes.

with the stillen ultra long tubes, i know there's some work (as mentioned earlier) where you have to cut out some holes...does any of this void the nissan warranty? heck, does installing new intakes void the warranty?

Not all this information is totally accurate. I have R2C short intakes (which are sealed off from engine heat) and when combined with the Modshack vent modification the intake temps are as low or lower than those provided by the G3. Some tests have shown that as soon as you re-install the front bumper much of the G3 advantage is lost. Regardless of which intake you use (including the stock) the Modshack modification does provide a real benefit.

I can search a multiple set of journals on this forum and pull up people getting 15+ with Stillen Gen III with front bumper on for dyno runs. Not saying the modshack design plus better filters is better or worse, but the Gen III do great with the bumper on/off.

Also keep in mind that the G3 dyno's are done sitting still with a fan, so if they're producing gains of 18-20 whp sitting still on a dyno, imagine what they actually make cruising on the highway at 70+ mph or hauling a$$ down the 1320.
