Cold Air Intake

Glad you like the sound, previous cars I had the warm air intake. The open filters in the hood do make a nice sound but on the Z minimal gains

Glad you like the sound, previous cars I had the warm air intake. The open filters in the hood do make a nice sound but on the Z minimal gains compared to the cold air but hey for ease of checking on filters and you got the sound you wanted thats all that matters. Plus your FI pipes are giving you good gains anyway! I bet it sounds real nice.

I installed K&N Typhoons on my Nismo, and their "hot air" intake burnt up my MAFs; not once, not twice, but three times.

It was not an oil issue, I believe K&N when they make that claim...it was a heat issue. This intake is open to the engine bay, and pulls way too hot of air in; killing the IAT on the passenger side MAF.

I'm in the process of putting the stock intake back on now, with K&N drop-ins.

CAI's ,a write of passage for most when we get the car.

Honestly,they do not do much(if anything)in the way of real power.
For sure,you'll get that great sound from the added air being sucked into the
intake. Your MPG will prolly drop from the extra revs to hear that sound...

Performance wise,K&N's in the stock airbox will do as good.
Won't look as sexy though.

I'd just do PopChargers if you got to have a intake mod.
Cannot see the logic of remote filters stuck down where you cannot easily reach e'm
unless there was the power gains.

Just sayin...

Any suggestions on other types of intakes that might be better? Also, will the installation of the intake system void the warranty? Thanks for all your responses to the squeaks and rattles post.


OP, this will be useful for you:

What's the point of these? It's says they do nothing performance wise, I just don't get spending $108 for nothing unless I'm missing something.
