Don't waste your money jumping into the "intake bandwagon."
Those mushroom type intakes are useless.
They are just sold as a trend, not a real performance upgrade.

Just keep the stock intake box and get a K&N cotton mesh filter.
For street and track purposes, this is best way to get air into the engine.
The most successful GT-R tuners (Mine's and Nismo) retain the stock air box and use cotton mesh filters.
Even then, the cars produce 600hp no problem and get record times on Japanese racing circuits.

Most big name intakes are just simple designs that suck in hot air from under the hood.
The stock airbox has ducts that only allow cold exterior air to get in.

Anybody want to buy my A'pexi intake?
