Stock.

Use the money for more beneficial mods, the car comes with a cold air intake basically.

If you feel like you have to buy one, I like the Nismo and K&N Typhoon. JWT Popcharger is ok as well.

From what I have read on these forums, the general consensus is that all CAI make basically the same power, almost nothing. With that in mind, go with the cheapest one out which is the JWT Popcharger. ~$110 is much better than $250ish.

Aggreed, though I differ in that the only one I'd recommend if you HAVE to do a intake is the Stillen. I have the 350Z Typhon, don't bother way too many short comings to overlook (and solve).

I would stay stock until you have a number of other more important mods completed. Once you have a plenum and headers, and possibly a catback, the stock intake becomes more of a concern and at that point I would recommend the Injen CAI.

Nism-o Looks good and sounds good. It does have a noticable horsepower gain 5-7. Sounds good as well...
Does anybody have a pic of that JWT Pop? Would like to see one.

Thanks!
