Hello
Im looking for some good 2008 350z intakes.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot this is my first post.

 

the best advice you'll get is to get k&n drop in filters for the stock boxes. from what i've read all cold air/short ram/ and pop chargers just give a different sounds and a loss in power.

 

Z tube with oem airbox for a bit of good looks with k&n drop in filter.

 

One reason I want them is for the sound, but If they actually cause a loss of power I might have to rethink it. Thanks for the info.

 

get the Injen Intakes, have them on my 08 sounds great and after a tune they produced more power

 

I have k&n typhoon 69 twin intakes. Whle the gains (if any) were almost unnoticeable, it made the the Z sound better

 

I got jwt pop charger and I like it. Don't expect any gains from this mod.

 

Is the pop charger just the filter? or the whole intake?
Thanks

 

Whole intake, besides the ducts that go into the throttle bodies. I have them too, they sound amazing. Dont listen to people when they say they cause a loss of power. If the gains are unoticable, then so is the loss. Food for thought.

If all you want is sound,get a dual JWT Popcharger.
Add some bling with dual polished JWT Z tubes.

 

Injen for sure if you want proven gains . Check out my dyno day video and also proven at the track where it really counts.

 

I dont think the OP wants to do any searching, because all the answers are here and youtube for video clips

The Z intakes are already made for performace. K&N drop ins are $160-$180 anyway. You might as well spend a little more... Its pretty much the same result, but the intakes give a deep sound, have a little more whine, and clean the engine bay up nice.

 

wow glad i asked,thanks for all the info!

 

I don't know where you seen a drop in k&n for 160 but they're 69.00 directly from k&n.

K&N filters suck at filtering. I had one on my M3 and when I had the intake system (plenum and throttle bodies) apart after maybe 5K miles, it was full of grit. I'm in S. Florida, and it's dusty here. Lesson learned. All their other marketing-speak is pure bullsh!t, too, especially the part about straightening the air flow. Never saw a single speck of dust after the first 40K miles with stock paper-type filters.

Nothing wrong with the OEM HR intake. I routinely use NAPA Gold air filters in my '08, and the intake is squeaky-clean at 52K.

 

Primary function of any air filtering system is to keep dirt out. The fact that filters are dirty, show that they are working well. All filters need cleaning and some need replacement.

 

Well after reading all of the posts and doing some research I ended up getting these
