Best cold air intake to use

What's the best cold air intake to use. I have a 2003 3.5 SE. I heard the injen RD is the best. But not Forsure. My cars stock. For now. But after I put an intake on. Was planning on doing a catback on next. Not Forsure what to use there either. Any and all help would be grateful.

Wasn't tryn to beat the subject in the ground. And I'd rather ask on here and get a solid answer from you guys. That's why I joined this forum. Because you guys are maxima owners. And know what works and what doesn't. Sorry of I brought up a sore subject.

Just to be clear, it's not sore. Just no new info presently to offer. To attempt to summarize the info would do you a great injustice.....so the direction to search is truly what is most helpful currently. Especialy because you will even find dyno runs. Then, perhaps post a question where you've not found the answer.

GAB MOD for less than $50. All you need is a K&N drop in panel filter and to modify the stock air filter holder via a hand saw, cutting tool, etc. Which only takes a 10-15 minutes to do.

The Injen has a flawed design, by putting the intake filter directly behind the radiator, where it can suck up that hot air into the 'cold' air intake.

the GAB (ghetto airbox) mod as stated above has proven to yield good results for cheap, or if you want something that looks more professional you can get a short ram, or something like a JWT popcharger
