Only other options for cai is either Takeda or Stillen Gen3's

What do you think about this K&N Typhoon Kit? Good for its price? Good product in general?

For that price? Go with Stillen Gen 3's and get the most power from a cai or Takeda's But I don't know what the powers gains are on those since I've never used them.

If you haven't made a purchase, and to all other readers asking the same question as the OP, DO NOT buy the Injens.

I too purchased them for the lower price, the fact that there's minor cutting involved (a very small notch), and they offered them in black (my Z is black). However due to their location of the filters I've had issues with keeping them dry. They have been on my car almost 1 1/2 years, and every time it rains it reduces me to an irate "granny shifter." With even the slightest rainfall it throws my car into limp mode. So far I've found the only way to avoid the embarassment of riding a bucking stallion through a busy intersection is to upshift before the 2500 rpm fuel cutoff until I get to an appropriate gear (depending on posted speed limits).

I should mention that my car is at stock height (I didn't add coilovers due to this issue

), I always park my car facing downhill, and I try my best to avoid standing water. Some may ask, "If they're such a pain in the a$$ why do you still have them?" They're already on my car, and I'm never in the US long enough to worry about changing them out. Just thought I'd steer anyone away from experiencing the same problems.

Save your money and put it towards gas, CAI intakes are worthless and your car already comes with cold air intakes, HP gains are almost negligable with these aftermarket kits.

Gauge · 02-10-2013, 09:30 AM

Takeda is a good option as it requires no cutting of your car to make it fit. Also the gains on takeda ar eonly slightly less than stillen gen 3. It's up to you though.

Gauge · 02-10-2013, 09:44 AM

Also consider that the CAI is a much easier install. You can do it yourself in about an hour.

Best bang for the buck on cold air intakes are AEM's. I've routinely seen them for low $400's and you can get them in dark silver powder coating from AEM.

LMBmikeZ · 02-10-2013, 02:03 PM

I am going with Takeda CAI this summer, everyone who has reviewed them seems as happy if not happier then the ones with the G3's. Like many other people have mentioned there is no cutting for instal of the Takeda intakes which is a pro over the stillens and the gains are almost identical

SmileyZ · 02-11-2013, 09:28 PM

Anybody have the K&N ones? Previous owner installed them. Seem to be fine, just looking for some experienced info.

axmea? · 02-11-2013, 09:58 PM

Between the Stillen G3's and the Takeda, I bet you would not be able to tell the difference when you drive it. The difference if so minimal, you'd probably have a tough time distinguishing. Boils down to dollars and preference but that's just me.

nissan394 · 02-12-2013, 11:40 AM

i have injens from my 350z the silicone elbows are a tight fit and it takes minor fabricating but they are basically the same as stillen gen 3's and cost me about $150 less
