I am guessing that whatever comes on the 370Z will be a smoother tube without the resonators. You might just wait to see what's released on it.

Intakes upgrades aren't really worth the money. They don't do nothing for HP.. And all it does is suck in warm air.

This goes to show you've been in the politics section a bit too much. JWT's and Injen's both have put down HP gains on independant dynos. And if I remember correctly the iron chef proved fujitas run colder than the stock airboxes.

lol. no ecu reset and your car hasnt even broken in yet? ok...

but seriously, fujitas sound the best out of all the intakes out right now, gives the loudest growl and air suck sound.

on the JWT, there really is no air intake sound right before rev.

If you want crazy sound past 5K, then INJEN CAI is the way to go. The intake sound when it kicks in overpowers my HKS exhuast!

Just wish it was deeper and longer... haha- deeper and longer (That's what she said)... sorry but i had to say it.
An ECU reset definitely needs to be done for the gains on the intake. As far as sound goes, I can here mine clear as day when I get to 4K or higher. Not sure why you cannot hear yours. The only think I can think of is you never got use to the sound of the stock intake since you have 400 miles on the car. I changed mine out after 5k at least (I think) so I could definitely tell a difference.

Are all your post not based on facts? Just wondering.

Agree JWT sucks, I mean come on they use the factory rubber intake tube so that looks really chessy and so basically there charging you $329 for 2 filters and 2 hose clamps and a 2 covers for the filter which look cheap as well..... So I would be a bit pissed off as well before I even put them on my car because the JWTS just look cheap..... Go with STILLEN....

uh, get a stock car, and get the same car with an intake.. Same skilled driver. Guess who takes it...

Intakes don't do nothing make make it "sound" cool.. Even if it adds 2hp, so what. It nothing you can really see or feel.
