Question The best intake for the 350Z “Poll”

Ok, I don’t think I’m beating a dead horse here because I searched and though the topic is exhausted, I didn’t see a poll. My vote is the JWT intake but* I feel though as if I’m not giving others a chance. Vote and explain why you think your decided intake is better.

no intake is going to do a whole lot but the JWT is as good as any of the others and its by far the cheapest which is why it gets my vote and is on my Z

agreed. Seems as if we really purchase intakes for the sound and bling bling vs. the minimal performance gains we actually get. You got to admit though, a proven 6.5hp for a little over a hundred dollars is a bargain for the JWT.

Do a search for my reason why I say JWT. I've explained myself more than once.

No stalls at all for me. Pretty sure the top end 5000+ rpm got a boost from it. No dyno proof, so you`d better be happy with something like the sound or look if you`re looking to rationalize/pull the trigger

aem and nismo (same) have to be the worst ever design for an intake for the Z. Where is it getting its fresh air from? an enclosed space FTL!

Where are the power gains with the Pop charger?
Is it mid-range power?

go to the search function and type in Pop Charger and you will find all you want to know about the JWT pop charger

I agree, I should have just kept that when I was NA and saved my money to use towards FI.

In fact I shouldnt have wasted any money on NA mods since they are all mediocre at best.

That a matter of opinion. Not eveyone is building a 350-500hp car. Some, let myself, just want a better performing Z. If I want that much hp I would invest in a different car.
Sorry for my little rant but reallt getting tired of hearing F/I guys talking down on N/A mods so much.
