Hehe, i guess everyone has voted for the intake they have 
Personally I all intakes would sound the same as long as they are "open", CAI's that are placed ahead of the radiator would most likely sound less from inside the car but more ahead of the car from the outside.
I tried driving my car without the filter, sound is amazing at high RPM's, really comes to life and screams LOUD at full throttle over say 4k RPM and peaks at redline! Now (before ive decided on which intake to buy) i ducktaped a BMC cone filter (from my BMW M3) after the AFM and it sounds pretty much exactly like with the filter removed completly.
I was quite unhappy with the stock engine sound at high RPM, it made me want to shift early and i wasent pleased at all with the whole experience in reving high, you could also feel the engine dropping power slightly over 5k RPM... BUT with the open filter the engine sounds and FEELS completly different at high RPMS, now instead of 5-6k rpm max shifts i always want to rev to the limter

Hehe no ****
But just driving on "clean" tarmac for a few minutes just to try it out wont do any dammage unless you are extremly unlucky. Obiously driving without filter is nutz for anything but a short test, I just wanted to listen to how it sounded.My current "ducktaped" conefilter setup
is pretty much identical to a JWT Popcharger setup and it sounds great! But i am only "borrowing" the filter from my M3 until i get a propper intake./Roger

Just look on autotrader.com or any used car place and you should try to find a z that is less than 21k.(What i am basicly saying is that z hold up in their resale exspecially nice ones.

But really if u have a Z and spend all day writing gay reports that try to make other people feel bad. Well anyway **** it im done with the Z. Just becasue of u zand02max

Basically i am asking you this question is to know who to revv at
and who to not even bother with 
. Thanks for the advice and i hope this will help me win a few races here and there.

Basically, my friend has a bone stock Sti and it has been pissing me off how he always brags that it can beat any 350Z without even trying (witch i think is bull). But thats besides the point i just want to actually be able to beat the Sti. What have you z owners out there done to get your car to the be a 13 second quarter mile range because i heard the sti runs 13.2 second. I'm actually hoping that i can beat him on the top speed becasue i am not really sure that an Sti can go 155 like my Z. The overall question is what mods do i put in my 05 track Z to beat an Sti without using forced induction? And how much would the mods cost?

I love Z's but i cant afford it now (hope a used 350 goes down in price over the next year), but ultimately im probably ending up with a slightly used RX-8 because its such a nice car, though its hard to part with my RSX. I just love the new type s, but its really not in the same league as the z or the mazda. But, I have one question. Anyone of you z owners out there raced a rx-8 and how much did you beat it by, or did it beat you?

. He is looking into getting a 2004 RX-8 or a 2005 RSX-S. I just wanted your guys input on the decision.

So on 7/7/05 he didnt have a Z, but on 7/8/05 he had one for a week. Then on 7/31 he says that there are many other cars faster than the Z, (including an 05 BMW M5 which just shows hes in dreamworld with zero real world experience) and he doesnt want to buy one now.
You wonder why so many of us cant stand many of the young people on here (17 and younger). They are trolls, they lie, they cant spell, grammar is horrible, and they can't even put a full sentence together without it being a trainwreck.
