Hi,
I have a few questions to ask if thats ok. After doing some research and reading the cobb tuning document as well as the articles on the new Injen track edition full cold air intakes, it would seem to me that the decision too buy the nismo cold air intakes was a very bad idea. If i am understanding all these articles correctly then they actually cause a loss in power but it is still a minimal loss. So i guess my question here is this, i already have the nismo exhaust and plan on getting a set of berk high flow cats, so would it be wise to leave the nismo intakes on, replace them with the recently released injen setup (although i did read the articles on g37 forums that they only dyno at 4 hp) or just go back too the stock set-up and get some k&n drop ins? Also, lastely i was curious about something i always understood that the big difference among the k&n set up and a regular filter was the shape as well as the material its made out of. Bearing this in mind would replacing the crappy nismo paper filters with something like a K&n cone be a way to correct this performance problem or just another waste of money? Thank you so much for taking the time too read and i hope if it is not too much trouble i can get some feedback on this problem.

Intakes are a complete waste of money. OEM all the way baby!

Get the HFCs with your Nismo exhaust, you won't regret it.

 

Sell the nismo's, put the money towards good hfc's and k&n drop ins. For short ram intakes, the Nissan engineers pretty much tapped out the stock ones

 

HFC's if you want to sound like an airplane.

Honestly, don't even bother with the intakes. Just get K&N's and get some HFC's or some test pipes.

 

so your saying i should just take the nismo's off sell them go back too stock and just use k&n drop ins.?

 

i think you should keep them.
for the look and the amazing sound

 

Sigh anybody else mind taken 5 mins to give me an opinion please research only gets me so far.....thanks, kaylin.

 

I say just leave the intakes for the sound and look but definitly get the HFC's.

 

+1^^^

If you already have them and aren't strapped for cash I'd leave them on. So what even if you just maintain the stock HP or lose 1 or 2 with them on it still looks nice and sounds good.

 

Just leave them in man you already went through the trouble of install them... Plus like everyone else said they sound cool.
