Search through the posts...lots of choices. It depends on what you want to spend...

I have the R2C on my 09 and love it! They also make a single intake for the older G's.

for 2003-2006 you want to have an intake that blocks out hot engine air

JWT is pretty good, but STILLEN airbox is much better.

R2C design is really good at shielding the heat.

Right on guys, thanks for the info.. i like to do my own research but also think its wise to ask people as well.. i do have one question so far tho.. i know the g37 has a dual intake set up.. or at least that is what i am understanding.... do the 03's have a dual set up also or is it just a single? I believe it would have to be a single after looking under the hood, but from what ive read, it sounds like people are saying that the dual set up works for the 03 g35 as well? clear this up for me please?

thank you

I have no complaints about my Z-tube and JWT popcharger setup, but the R2C does look good.

just got done reading about the Stillen intake.. anyone who has this intake... did you go with the tubing also or is it not worth the extra money? Im not looking to squeeze every last inch of HP out of the car, just want to mod it lightly for now. Also i can not find anything on the RC2, any one have a link for this?

Sorry my infinti mod searches suck... first infinti car... lol :wtf2:

Yes Red_DET will hook you up on the R2C.

If you do go with just a filter definitely replace the OEM G intake tube with a Stillen or OEM Z intake tube. The OEM G one is very restrictive.

Hey Red Det, thanks for the site.. i have a question tho.. having a 03 g35 i would have to go with the 03-06 350z MaxxFlow Kit CAI10500 correct? what is the main differnece between this one and the Stillen intake? Just asking for my own interest... I think i would like to go with the RC2.

No, there is a kit for the g35 specifically, cai10501. You do have a g35 correct? The r2c filter is probably the best filter on the market, it's not oiled and maintenance is very simple and guaranteed to last as long as you own the vehicle. I run the r2c on my g35 and absolutely love it compared to the jwt. That site belongs to me so you know.

You won't be disappointed. You can also go to r2cperformance.com and read more info.

There was a comarison done by an individual on the Stillen cai intake vs the r2c on the g37 and r2c made more usable power, period.

Yeah i have the 03 G35 6mt. Honestly since you are a member on this site (which i find this site to be great) that makes the decision to go with the R2C alot more easy. Always like helping out guys with shops that are into the cars that i have as well. Im going to read that site you sent me for more info but sounds good.

I love my intake setup, but for the cost you'll be better off with the R2C.

I have the STILLEN airbox, JWT filter, and its all heat shield wrapped to eliminate the heat soaking.
