WHY OEM INTAKES and FILTERS ARE BETTER

I can't get out of my head as to why NISSAN pulled HP number from NISMO and IPL to 350HP 348HP with just high flow CBE and tune.

The intakes did not change!

NISSAN has pulled everything they can out of the 3.7L setup! so why on earth do we think an aftermarket business like Stillen or Injen knows best and is able to make more HP then OEM???

If that is the case why does NISSAN pay there engineers $100 per hour to get as much HP as they car? why not just build a setup like Injen or Stillen?


I understand you want that added HP at 6500K but at WOT with OEM, I don't feel anything more or less with the Injen setup just that the Injen and Stillen are louder!!

I took apart my whole intake setup and after looking at it, it's very good design.

So why is the aftermarket setups making more HP or seem to be?

I will be getting my car dyno at Z-days to see my WHP with stock intakes and F.I CBE with tune.

I think if you took off your intakes you lose only about 3HP.

I love to know!

i have one of the top all motor street tire 1/4 mile times on the forum as well so i think my 0-60 is pretty good as well.

now if you're done trolling maybe you can go crawl into a hole and stay out of the big boy talks.

The best way to spend your money on a new sports car after buying it is really in protecting it.

After buying my Z the first things I did to it was, the clear paint bra, ballistic nylon seat covers, window tint, molded floor mats and replaced the plastic under belly with an aluminum alloy one that allows quick access for oil changes. Total cost was around $1100 and it goes a long way to protecting the car and your investment at time of resale.

That's why it makes more sense to just put the extra cash you have towards GAS and say hell with the street dork mods, most are really useless for a street driven car.
