Intakes for G37

[kreestofur]

so i was looking for some intakes for the g37. seems like the choices are limited for now. as of now, there are only three that i know of: fujita, jwt popcharger, and stillen. am i missing any?

and if any of you own aftermarket intake, feel free to share your experience with it and what you like about it. as far as i know, it seems like they usually get similar horsepower increase (usually 10whp).

if we can all chip in and put info on this thread, i think it could be helpful for the future buyers. let's try submitting info about:

1. brand2. price3. what you like/experience (you like the looks, easy installation, etc)4. where you bought it5. how much increases in power (if you know it)

thanks for all your inputs.

injen should be out soon

they're saying their intake will make more power than the rest, i'l believe it when i see it though

intakes just don't make a big enough difference on this car

[CYO44Baseball32]

1. Fujita duel G37 intake

2. $299 shipped

3. Looks sweet with chrome pipes and nice looking air filters. Installation is so easy someone without any knowledge of cars can do it. They give you step by step instrustions that leave nothing out and have detailed pictures.

4. Outperformanceshop.com Dan will help you out and match prices if you see it lower also has good knowledge of all parts for the car and will research different companies for you.

5. claim is 10.66 whp and 9.08 TQ

Ive read a lot of articles on intake tests for the G37 b/c im interested in getting one... believe or not after market intakes show a loss in power/no gain on the dyno. The stock ones work really well, but obviously your not going to get that deep intake sound like aftermarket. I really want to see some dynos for Catback/headers or Hi flo cats. thats where your money is better spent.

Don't listen to the Cobb crap. What they're trying to say is "everybody stinks except us" and we all know what opinions are like.

No quality intake is going to loose power. They couldn't sell them if they did. Junk intakes might loose power so you're partially correct. I'd say that any of the units mentioned would be ok.

I have the Stillen long tubes. I'm happy with them and I'll probably go 100% Stillen because I like the quality and I like the fact that Steve Millen was a factory driver for Nissan.

Of course, if you really want to gain power, you need to do the whole system. Intake, headers, HFC and exhaust.

Also, don't waste too much time looking at somebody else's dyno results. Vendor dyno numbers are talking about "average" or "expected" power gains.

Dynos are different, the car set ups will be different, air temp. and humidity affect results, etc. No point in splitting hairs over 1 - 2 HP anyway. A quick foot on the gas always trumps a couple of ponies.

Agreed and yes that was the report I saw. I just wish they made a Cold Air Intake set up for our car.

Hey guys.. picked up my car on thursday.. on friday had rims from my 06 powder coated black and mounted ... De-badged on saturday!!! and ordered JWT pop charger and billet grill!!! had an Injen on the 06, I'll let you know how JWT works out!!!! Lived in Cali til recently..used to order from Stillen, found them to be a lil over priced!!!

[330badboyg37]

do these intakes void your warranty?

[Team Punisher]

I was told no only when you mess with internals

[G_whizz]

Mods only ever void your warranty if they can prove your mod damaged that particular part.

Example... if you install an intake and your power seat stops working... they can't blame it on your intake.

Look at all my mods in my sig... my 07 is leased. I also used to have an 05 with the same mods... never had a problem when in for service.

Hey guys..wassup?? anyway, for your info..the JWT intake does not fit on our 08s!!! Joe over at Scottsdale Infiniti should be taking it off the web page! so I sent it back..my cost..but had them overnight me the Stillen long tube..no charge!!!by the way, it was easy to install & did it with the help of my favorite girl & navigator!!! hope to do as much to this one as I did to the 06..(list is on my intro page)!! it definitely sounds good & it sure feels a lil quicker, but I guess our cars are like our women!!! No one wants to say they have an ugly girlfriend!!!

We're selling a stillen full cat-back exhaust and dual intake setup for just about anything with the 3.5 VQ in it with HP gains of 25-33hp and up to 4% improvement in fuel economy.

Injen 's intake is out and the performance is "GREAT" check it out at myg37com.

going to have to agree with this. although the injen is not officially out. still in pre production phase. but the comment about cobb's information not being true and benifiting them in some way is extremely false. Cobb didnt claim to make more power then the rest in their indepent testing of all the intakes that are released. They all either lost power or made no power including their's. the problem with the injen is they are following the path of every other intake, they claim high hp numbers. but so far every other intake has lost hp when installed and dynoed privatly. i have dynoed both the fujita and stillen in my shop both lost hp. injen is next in line and we will see what happen. while i highly doubt it makes the claimed 14hp i dont see it loosing power since they did what i felt was needed the whole time. get the filters out of the engine bay and centrally located in the front so they can get fresh cooler air.

Can you post those dyno runs?

I'm having the rest of the Stillen stuff installed Tuesday so I'll be running long intakes, headers, HFC and cat back. If the dealer comes through with a dyno run for me, I'll post it. They want to see what the complete package does at the wheels.

I still say that any intake that improves air flow will add power. From what I see, the Injen system is more of a true CAI so you might see better performance from them.

I'm kind of funny about mods and like to have a matched set from a quality dealer. That's why I went all Stillen. My car will never see a drag strip so being a few ponies off makes no difference to me.

[KahnQuistador]

do these intakes void your warranty?

I talked to a mechanic at the dealer about warranty issues and he said there might be issues if you didn't use Stillen or Nismo parts.

I'm not believing it but...

There's a federal law about voiding warranties because of after market parts. The Feds say the dealer must prove that the parts caused whatever failure. In my book, as long as you don't get stupid with your mods, like installing parts made for another vehicle, you should be ok.

I dont have the dyno's on file. it was a couple months ago. we tested both the short tube and long tube neither of which are true cai. the only true cai system is the new injen. Again both lost power on the dyno. the long tubes just didnt loose as much. The whole set up should gain you net hp because the exhaust system and HFC's will gain you power. But your idea of just more air equals more power is completely false on this car. The problem is when the car senses more air being pushed through the maf it closes the throttles and compensates because it thinks something is wrong which is why they loose power. Its an extremely fine line.

in my pic those are oem 19"s. but monday i have one set of volks arriving. I have another set of volks getting powdercoating also and my gram lights should be here also at the end of may. so i have three sets now. plus i am picking up a 4th track wheel

I think your dyno's broken.

ALL the intake makers are claiming gains. I don't necessarily believe their numbers but I believe they gain power. Any thing that improves air flow throughout will help.

Anyway, to get the full benefit, you must do the whole system.

Mine will be finished Tuesday. Long tubes, headers, HFC and exhaust. All Stillen.

BTW, you're right, the CAIs work best. It's an air density thing.
