I have a Nismo intake, it sounds pretty good. There are no noticeable performance gains from this whatsoever. I have heard good things about the AEM and the Injen. Nismo looks really sweet though, IMO. I was wondering the same thing about the pulley too......

Most cold-air intakes (CAI's) do this. You sacrifce low-end for top-end.

Try a drop-in filter for the OEM airbox if you are shooting for a power gain. The intakes are mostly for looks when you pop the hood.

i kno the intake isnt going to really be a power gain, thats why i was wondering about the pulley and if would make up for low end torque that the intake takes away?

I LOVE the sound from the JWT intake. I don't know about gains from it, because I bought the car with it. But the sound alone is worth the money if its just burning a hole in your pocket.
