Default Best Intake

I have the nismo cool air on my Z and ive looked at others such as an AEM and Injen and they have been cheaper and claim a much higher hp gain than the nismo. Just wanted some input on this.

Just stick with what you have. They're all just trying to sell you a product. You won't feel a difference anyways.

That's some good advice. I have a K&N FIKP-57 and I think it's pretty good but no way I'd replace it for another intake. That'd be a great example of diminishing returns.

AEM, Injen and Nismo will all do about the same. Basically just comes down to which one looks better to you.
For me I like the Injen

Nissan's "racing brand",Nismo are actually parts made by a contracted company.They slap a Nismo label on them.As mentioned,your CAI is a AEM.
Nismo catback is a Fujitsubu...My R-Tune cams,dunno who makes e'm?Not many if any(except Bugatti,Pagani)make their own parts.Just have someone else make e'm.It makes economic sense.

Forgot about Stillen.
That one probably has the most gain, but doesn't look as good as the others
