I have the Injen CAI on my 06 and love it, mine doesn't have oil consumption problems either

 

Congrats on the car I own an 06 mine I normally have to add a quart oil before 3k miles.haha But I love my car lol. As for intake just either drop in a kn filter or jwt popcharger and call it a day. Thats what I did. Cai not really worth it.

 

Yo clutch - instead of buying an intake, get the plenum spacers or test pipes(or HFC's) instead.
Finally get yourself a set of lowering springs. For the looks, add a front lip. these mods won't cost you much and they're so much worth it.

i guess u're a hardworking dude and i think u deserve that Z since it's coming from your own sweat and blood!

good luck!

 

thanks 350zdj, and everyone...i really appreciate all the advise... it the stock intake really that good in the the 06'..

I really want to get this car to scream while still having nice power to the wheels

Clutch's Wish List ( Things i want to do to my 06 Z)- NOT IN ANY ORDER

1) Cold Air Intakes- Unless i have a better option (such as keeping stock)
2) Exhaust System- Still need to do alot of reseach
3) Dash Kit - Still deciding....Carbon Fiber, OR Orange CF
4) Tail Lights - Still Researching for best option, but want black
5) Head Lights - Still Researching for best option, but want black
6) Spoiler - Still Researching for best option
7) Performance Chip- Still Researching for best option
8...) All the little odds and ends, such as emblems and cf strut bar cover...


any input would be greatly appreciated
thanks

 

You will never find your best option

 

Yeah, you definitely won't find a chip lol. Don't expect to gain much power out of bolt on's. You can spend a hell of a lot of money trying to get more power naturally aspirated, but it just won't happen.

If you're just looking for a better sound, then yes, exhaust, test pipes, intakes, etc. are your best bet. Test pipes alone will increase your engine note tremendously.

If power is what you are looking for, I would get some lighter wheels and save up for forced induction. That is the only true way to get a lot of power out of the Z! Bolt-ons are fun and loud but, you can't get too far with them alone.

+1 For another non-oil burning 06'

 

why wont i be able to find a chip ?

 

who nedz n edumacaTen now adayz?

 

Best power gainer for YOUR car, lightweight 18's. They can also help transform it into a nice looking car vs the G'd out POS it looks like now. I'll be you listen to Hip hop.

 

Leave the blingin' chrome 20's for the hooptie, you bought a Z, they dont belong on it...period.

On a postive note, congrats on the new car.

You will get flamed for your age because we have seen many posts about the youngsters wrecking their rides. We will give you a hard time to try to keep you safe. What did you drive before? I am 36 y.o. and have had fast sports cars since I was 16 so, I am not going to say you shouldn't own a fast car you just have to be careful and not drive like you want to. Realize that you dont have to race every Honda civic that looks at you.

I grew up in the car business. My family owned a shop that I worked hard at for many years. It was the best motavation for getting a business degree. So dont put that on the back burner.

Before you buy another thing do your research. The beauty of this site is what ever you are think about adding there is probably a person who has tried it or researched it already. You can cherry-pick your mods this way to make it the best for your budget. What is your budget?

Stay Safe! and congrats again.

 

Welcome. Get yourself some intakes and some outtakes.

 

Nice looking z. I have an 06 as well. Just get yourself a k&n filter and call it a day. use the rest of your money towards a plenum spacer.
Good luck

 

All your comments suck, just STFU..

 

That scares the hell out of me....

 

this thread is full of FAIL!!! hahahaha. Intakes plural? u got dual intakes? SICK!! Read the top 10 most asked questions wait 100 post and idk 30days then make a thread

 

Yup they do, i mean he wants performance and is asking about performance and rollin on boat anchor weight dubs. Ditch the dubs, gain performance.

 

I thought he was giving pretty good advice myself. 20's on a Z c'mon
