Just a bit of "noise" but more specicially , a slightly loudsr but much deeper and rumbling note when accelerating, that I loved on my old 2004 DE with the K&N typhoon intake. It's actuslly why I was initially looking at the K&N intakes for the HR but got dissuaded due to what people said about their oiled filters.

It's really down to the Injen or JWT at this point

 

Ok, so with that said, the bigger ones are out, since they require a tune.
1. JWTs will have K&Ns so if you want to submit your engine to what you saw in the video it's up to you.
2. Injens from CZP dry and worry free.
3. You could go AEM or Nismo (same) and both available as a dry variant.

Quick clip of those.

 

Thanks again. I think I'll go with the Injens as thry seem the most reputable. what bothers me is i literally couldn't find even a single video of them on an HR.

 

Yeah, unfortunately everyone is on the CAI train, because they cant stand the idea of having 5hp less lol. Too much comprises for 5hp IMO.

 

Ordered the Injen!

 

Nice, keep us updated, would be nice if you could get a video as well for anyone who might be interested.

 

Absolutely. I'll take a video from outside and while driving it. I know from experience it sounds a lot better in person though

 

Update: getting Injens intake delivered tomorrow ans will update thread when installed

What's odd is thst there is virtually NO vidoes or posts or even pictures of the injen short ram 350z HR intakes online. Not yourube, or Google, or even here on these forums. I found one pic of it installed but no reviews or anything at all. This makes me a bit worried

 

Yep, you have every right to be worried.

 

Isn't injen really reputable? Kind of odd

 

Anyone tried the injen sp1988 short ram intake for 2007 - 2008 350z HR?

i cioldnt find any reviews or posts about them anywhere

 

I started off with r2c, then went to stillen with the boxes, and then to takeda with dry filters.

 

Everything is going to be ok. We're here for you as your emotional support animal.

Just take a few deep breaths.

 

I don't think he meant it that way, it's just hard to buy stuff blind. I've bought stuff before like that, it's worked out OK this far. My headers are very hard to find videos of and so was my exhaust, I dont need to tell you this but the HR and DE sound differently and the ONE video on my exhaust is found was on a HR car. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith.

 

Ha ha thanks 😄. Truth be told though this place tends to be full of negativity and paranoia. In my other old thread about getting my 2008 Z almost everyone was telling me the car was bad, to walk away, I'll regret it, I'm being duped by the dealer, the car was neglected and the odometer was faked, and I even got threatened to have my thread closed all together. But the car turned out out to be pristine and virtually brand new and the only exception was a blown differential bushing that I'm getting replaced soon.

so I'm optimistic, and everyone here seemed to highly recommend the injen long tube cold air intake over any other CAI, so I'm hoping the injen short ram is also good quality

 

which was your favorite?

 

I didn't know the DE and HR sounded different, thanks for pointing that out.

At the very least, I got the injen for less than $400 and not the $550-600 it's listed literally everywhere else. So if it turns out to be a dud I'm only down $400 instead ot 550+

So..... Yay ?

 

Probably one of the reasons why you haven't seen many reviews of the Injen short ram intakes as opposed to the long intakes is because people that modify the intake or go aftermarket are looking for performance gains and not noise. The old adage of 'cooler air being better' results in people going with the longer tubes which sucks in cooler air from the bumper.

If you want some noise, hit up your boy Bubb Rubb.

The whistles go Wooo Wooooooooooo!

 

The thing is this platform already has access to cold air, the majority of CAI are gaining more from lack of filtration and ram air effect than temperature differential. People are just uneducated on the matter. This is one of the reasons Mathew and I are going out of our way to test different intake configurations.

The curse of the Internet is that it gives everyone an equal voice.
