-Not Worth it
-No you wont feel anything
-Sound enhancement at most

Stick with the Stock box if you have an 06+ and put a high flow filter in. It will do more than any pop charger or CAI. If you don't have an 06+ airbox then get one and do what was mentioned. I hope a MOD closes this thread before you get burned.

Perfectly worded!!

Also want to add that the Kinetix V+ (which i'm assuming he's talking about) will yield small gains, but it's bigest benifit is it makes the air more uniform across all six cylinders. As opposed to the angled OEM upper plenum.

I don't think so Dave... This has become a daily thing around here... Might as well take the search option away entirely.

If there was one best CAI, everyone would have it.

THERE IS NO BEST!

CAIs on 350Zs are about as useful as a 5" tach in an automatic.
