I want to get a CAI hoping it'll save me some gas... Is it worth it or no? If so what brand? Does anyone have a used one? What are the hp / torque gains I may receive thanks

 

No.

 

Nice and simple thank you lol

 

a light foot and even roads will save gas.

 

"Save gas" and "350Z" in the same line.

Syntax error. Does not compute.

Consider operand "Prius".

PS OP, on your actual questions, as others have said, don't expect too much... but OTOH, it's not going to hurt anything so long as the "CA" part of "CAI" is adhered to. That is, intake isolation from engine heat, e.g., front mounted or sealed air box.

 

Meh- just stick with the OEM intake and airbox. Nissan did a good job with them and there's no way in hell that a CAI will improve mileage.

 

Thanks sorry to be a nab... I've gotten real into the 350z an want to mod it. I appreciate everyone

 

I got maybe 0.5 mpg better, does not pay for itself any time soon

 

I got the K&N drop-ins. Much better than putting in a CAI on the Z. For some reason these cars do not like aftermarket intakes.

 

I'm not a morning person haha

 

Thank you I bought the k&n intake air filter an leaving it stock screw it

 

Just installed my Volant intake that I bought from http://4wheelonline.com/Volant_Performance.27675. Didn't notice any mpg improvement. There's no power gain also but I like the new sound and I can really feel that there's an improvement in throttle response.

 

for me mine went down, because of the bold part below.... liked the added growl so i romped on it more

 

This same thing is happening with me. Funny.

 

If the intake on a 350z got you hot and bothered I don't want to think about what the exhaust note out of that 427 does to you.

 

on the z i had full MD exhaust, and that caused this


on the vette, i am doing heads in december, then long tube headers around tax time

 

Why not just wait and do long tubes instead of doing twice the work? Are headers easy to do on the Vette?

 

yeah that would be nice, but things are expensive

- Lingenfelter heads $3800
- LG Motorsports LTH and H pipe $2000

i will pay for the heads to get installed, and looking in the engine bay of the vette, headers are easily accessible and from videos they just drop down from under the car

 

I always preferred the x-pipe to h-pipe. Always seemed to balance out the tone in my opinion. Don't know if it really does anything but the cars I've heard with the x-pipe just seem a little more even. Either way it'll sound wicked.
