wide Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Whats the best CAI for a UK 350Z in your opinion. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 A very difficult question as there is no definitive answert. As there will be no power gain its all down to the look of the unit and the budget. The best thing to do is to get to a meet and see the various options. Also have a chat to a trader and get an idea of prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Very difficult to answer Matt. Like asking what's the best way to take coffee (strong and black ) as everyone has personal taste on looks / brands and short or long ram etc. They all offer a nice throaty growl when fitted. I've had a JWT popcharger (short ram with heatshield) fitted and an Injen CAI (long ram) and can honestly say I couldn't tell the difference. I do have a modified plenum and true dual exhaust so can barely hear the difference either! Just pick a decent kit that you like the look of.....

Chris`I Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Best in what sense? Best flow? Stock air box Best noise? An open filter such as the popcharger Best bling factor? ARC intake Take a look on somewhere like www.Z1auto.com to see what you like. As said above, non offer any performance upgrade with the OEM ECU but do give a better noise and bling factor.

maz77 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Best flow? Stock air box thats a bit surprising chris, can you or any member expalin why!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The stock intake with a panel filter such as the K&N just has the supposed best flow rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Best flow? Stock air box thats a bit surprising chris, can you or any member expalin why!! Have a read about my350z.com. Its been said before by quite a few people that the stock airbox is a very good design for the engine and provides more than enough flow for it. 06 onwards had a slightly redesigned box with a venturi ring, which supposidly gives you the best performance bang for buck out there. I think this is down to the fact that its shielded from the heat, takes in cold air from the bumper (not the engine bay) and flow is more than adequate. Doesnt give you the nice growly noise though I run a pop charger for whats its worth, no noticable difference in performance, but does sound nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
