Welcome.

For future references, cold-air intakes have been proven to actually lose power on the 350z. Why? Because the stock setup is actually an extremely efficient design that is very hard to improve over.

Hey bro, I get the fact that you don't want to look at other posts, but please do.
1) Several intakes are available as "top of the line" products so take a look at the pictures and see what you would rather have in your engine bay.
2) From a cold air intake, don't expect to gain any horsepower...especially noticeable hp.
3) I am sure that you know enough about Z to know the popular intakes, if there were a "best" intake, don't you think we would all have it?

This was not meant to be harsh in any manner, and by the way, I have the Nismo Cold Air Intake.

I thought the JWT intake did not show a drop in power, but was not as good as an 06 box w/ k&n drop in? and to the OP, search and search again, because if you don't, there is no mercy...lol

From what I have read, it looks like the JWT is the most popular. If you check out the youtube videos of it, you will hear it sounds amazing too! Nice growl compared to stock. As far as gains, they say it still nets a few horses as well.
