MOVE!! I couldn't imagine dealing with the crap you put up with out there. Emissions testing, sky high real estate prices, hippies, democrats... sounds like a hell on earth.

When I had a Z I bought an Injen intake and converted it to a short Ram intake. You really don't get any power gains from an intake on a 350z. Just meaner sound.

We hid treads about intakes in the intake forum so that new members cannot find them. So far this seems to be working well.

I think we should remove the label from the search button that says "FOR EXPERIENCED MEMBER USE ONLY"

P.S. I hate living in the people's republic of the state of california too

Default What intake should i get.

I've been looking at K&N but the only problem is that i live in california and the laws here are dumb in terms of what car parts are legal. why does everyone put on popchargers? and what are your favorate? also what other simple mods would you all do?

I got an Injen which i am really happy with. All intakes are about the same gains its just a matter of price of preference. Other mods i would probely suggest for the Z would be test pipes. It all depends how much u want to spend but that is what i started of with.

- Price. Best bang for the buck.
- Performance gains are up to par with any other intake on the market
- Easy to maintain w/ the short ram setup.
- No fear of hydrolocking
- Best part...it has a CARB# for us guys in CA

JWT POPCHARGER = CARB # = a big fat when the cop asks you to pop your hood (well, at least in California)
