Yep it is noticeable to me. I installed ART pipes and CBE and then added the drop ins. What I notice is better acceleration and responsiveness. Not sure if there is horsepower gains that are noticeable. I will be getting an UpRev tune at the end of the month and I am curious to see how my numbers match with those who have aftermarket CAI. I think it should be within 5 whp of most with the same setup and a CAI.

I 'just' ran across a thread of listing dyno results showing K&N drop ins actually giving a couple HP and some torque. Not as much as Gen3 long tubes or anything, but it's an upgrade from the paper filters.

Jumped my History and found the page.

Enjoy the read. I did.

Thanks for posting, I'm hoping for similar gains. I will be adding Z1 silicon mas-flow intake tubes and a Stillen light weight pulley before my tune! Good times and great start to 2013.

i put mine in after having the car about 6 weeks (?) and had not really even gotten used to the full power yet, let alone feeling more....

Cleaned the car last Thursday after the rains in the last couple of weeks. Took the car to the So Cal meet in Cerritos on Saturday and met with a big bunch of great 350 and 370Z guys (along with a couple of Infiniti's, M3's, Jeff's BRZ, and a modded Prius.). Everyone was friendly and loved the Z's. Today I'm stuck at home because it's raining again.

Edit: Oh yes, oil change switching from Redline to Amsoil full synth and their special filter.

In for pics of the emblems installed. Was thinking about going with these over the EVO-R ones.
