Most of the CAI are really only worth it , unless you go with a full competition exhaust along with it and a good remap.

Already well covered in this old posting

For every day street use they aren't really worth it and you will only sense a little more intake air noise and a louder exhaust if you change both intake and exhaust.

The expensive intakes are really for the little posers that gather at the 7 elevens with their hoods up and say look at my chrome pipes and neon LED accents.

For the money your better off putting any money into future brake,tire or handling packages, most Z drivers will trade their cars off in 3-5 yrs. so its not really worth it to put a lot of crazy mods into it, you never get a return on them, when you sell them off.

Also a bone stock, unmolested 370z will bring a lot more at trade in time, smart buyers avoid all the cars listed with the Bad *** sales pitch and crazy amount of mods.

I could care less about the intake. I go fast already being in Germany and my car is bone stock. The Nengun t-shirt is def worth the 17Euros! :)

NOP - Nengun T shirts - Nengun Performance Im getting 2! Stick that in the intake lol! :)

Thats one thing I hate to see and I'll never understand....cutting corners.

You gotta go all in or not at all. I'm actually going to get some RE-11's for my Z for next season once its out of storage. She deserves some good tires even if I'd prefer to spend less.

At worst I've gotten used Potenza's just to make it one month until storage, but I'll never understand someone dropping $$ on engine and wheels then by a set of Nankangs :icon14:

Who gives a crap how much you spend as long is what's you want. I think it's stupid to even knock someone spending $800 on $6k wheels. What's dumb is spending almost $2k for tires that will never see a winding road, let alone a track.

Definitely go for what you want but its borderline hilarious when someone buys the best Volk's wheels but then will cheap out on the tire...the part that actually connects your car to the road.

If by posers you mean dudes with tons of disposable income.

And by 7 elevens you mean big car shows.

And by neon LED(s) you mean lots of "show" (and go) mods that together probably cost as much as the cars original price.

Then yep. That's likely the market for these intakes.

I for one applaud show peeps for the aesthetic services they provide to my eyes and the community at large. Lols.



Tapatalk & such etc

mr. tgo, i completely agree. anyway, survival of the fittest. they will trip up on their own and crash. :icon17:

i too plan to swap both my nismo and weds with RE11's next. :p

i see it all the time. $4000 TE37's/CE28N's, tons of money dropped on the motor and suspension, and then a ******* hankook or nankang label on the tires.:facepalm:
