Default Read this crap!

I am in the market for a cold air intake and came across the website below. Read what they are advertising the HP increase!

Cold Air Intake System, Stage 2 System, The Replacement Solution For A Broken Air Box, Includes Air Box, Filter, Intake Tube, Instructions And Hardware, Adds 50 Horsepower And Increases Torque




If there is anyone out there that can refere me to a link that has the best Cold Air Intake for an 06 350Z.

Wow, that's a grade-A intake if it provides THAT much of an increase.

Maybe it's made out of a secret material that once air starts coming in it gets extremely cold and makes the car perform better since colder air=more performance!

There really is no "best" but I think the AEM/Nismo sounds great.

I doubt it is a minstake. AFE (maker of the intake) makes those outrageous claims all the time.

ok, they only claim 19hp and 21TQ on their site.....

You know its one thing when some punk sells ebay resistors and junk with lies like that, but when a large company like AFE does it, its downright sickening.

I heard if you put that intake on with the upgraded muffler bearing and readjust your canooter valve, 50HP is possible. If you get the stage 2 sticker upgrade, then you can easily achieve 75HP gains.

Don't blame the companies, blame the schools for not teaching people how to think or at least be able to read so they could go to the search menus to find obvious answers. If you could add that much horsepower for little money, don't you think Nissan would have done it? Let me guess. They ship it to you from Nigeria.
