K&N FIPK intake system????
Hi guys
I am about to get intake system. personally i like K&N FIPK but i don't know if its worth to spend $300+ for K&N intake or should i get JWT pop-charger? is it any better than pop-charger? K&N claims there will be 10.67HP gain???!!!
I have 2005 350z non-rev model.
any thought would be helpful
Thank you

Quite honestly, I personally wouldn't even spend that much on it... I don't think it's worth it... I think a simple K&N drop in filter in the stock airbox(And maybe an airduct in the bumper...) would do the job... ...I got a generic CAI intake I wanna get rid of, maybe you can throw a K&N cone filter on it if you want to... LoL

I am gonna order 5/16" plenum spacer from motordyne. I think that will give me more power than intake.
Thanks guys

OP, i wouldn't even bother with a K&N drop in. You aren't even gonna get close to outflowing your factory airbox/filter unless you go FI, and even then you'll probably still be ok. All you are doing with a K&N is letting in more dirt, and in some cases, killing your MAF sensor because of the oil.
If you really want to put in a drop in, go with a dry flow (Non oil filter) drop in like Amsoil and AEM makes.

I know a lot of people using K&N drop in filter with stock air box.
are you sure about "K&N is letting in more dirt, and in some cases, killing your MAF sensor because of the oil. " ?
now im considering to get it or not

I was actually reading an article where a group of people tested a whole bunch of drop ins, and K&N was the worst for clogging, air flow and duration before it had to be swapped/cleaned and a few other things. First in prettymuch everything was AC Delco... I'll try to find the article

2006 airbox + k&n drop in is the best setup for non-revup
i have been on these forums for some time now and that is what i am running. i am very happy with this setup. i have run the gambit on intakes and this is by far the best imo and most others on this site

O.K!!!! K&N is Out.!! i mean i think they exaggerated about the actual gain in HP.
Nismo intake is not worth the money. i am thinking about POP-CHARGER. I read somewhere Pop-charger will rub the power. is that right?

I don't think anyone was questioning that the K&N will provide more flow. The real question is how good a job it does in actually filtering. I've read a lot about it and I have enough concerns about it's filtering ability that I've stayed with a paper filter. Having said that, I do have a K&N intake and filter on another vehicle.
