well first off welcome to the club (im a new one myself)

2ndly, I suggest you try using the search before asking ay questions, People tend to get a little nasty when the see the same questions over and over again. Try it out, there is a TON of information available here.

also make sure you read those important threads at the top of the 4th gen section.

Welcome aboard again!

Welcome to the Org! I'm still debating on intakes myself. i hear FrankenCAR makes a good one as well as Injen. i'm leaning towards those two.

Welcome my friend. to the org. yes people do tend to be hasty on 300zx conversion questions and other very faq things. look around in the for sale forumns too. have fun and ride her hard.

Intakes? PRI is good as well as Injen. Also those bomz on ebay do just as good too, but youll need a k&n Quality filter.

welcome to the org. I myself have a frankencar intake. I like it and even noticed a slightly increased MPG. The growl from it gets me excited everytime I hear It.

i have a 97 5spd also and just got a frankencar, it's an awesome intake, love the growl at WOT and it's still quiet when u need it to be. I highly recommend it.

I would say Stillen/ JWT is the best. From what I know they do a lot of dyno testing to produce there intakes. It is also interesting that they keep the resinator which changing this to a midpipe is a big selling point for some intakes. Here is some info on resinators (the thin black box between your MAFS and throttle body.)

I have PM'd those who supposedly had the dyno's to prove that the midpipe was beneficial and asked them to just share their exprience with what they saw on the Dyno. They never replied to my PM or to the thread that I had linked, they are a regular member who is here daily too.

Also, another member quoted his track exprience with this

Ummm, like I said in an earlier post, I have confirmed it at the track. I went to two different drag strips, 1/8 and 1/4 mile.

Avg. times with stock resonator were .12 faster than the mid-pipe in the 1/8 mile.

Avg. times with stock resonator were .18 better in the 1/4 mile.

There's more to engine intake design than CFM. Velocity and resonance tuning have just a big a role as total flow.
The only thing the midpipe bandwagon has produced were butt dyno's which could be based on sound.


Here is the original thread

Someone get the Dyno's that prove that the midpipe design is superior and I'll reinstall my homemade one. Hopefully this can resolve this issue if these dyno's even exist.
