Urgent stop buying cold air intakes for your Q50 Q60 redsport

Intake is meant to be used in conjunction with an upgraded exhaust, followed by a tune. That's the proper way to utilize the system in harmony

[@kirkbaughman256]

Please keep in mind they did not put AMS intakes up against these others. And what AMS does differently then these other manufacturers is they re-use and engineered their intake around using the stock MAF housing and location. Additionally, most stock ECU’s require a red lash of some sort for performance changes to be truly beneficial. Food for though.

[@StevenBeaversBeave]

I understand what you're explaining well. My question is have you heard any testing of the air intake setup that infiniti acutely sells through their dealerships. I was thinking exhaust also, instead of the air intake my other question is who's exhaust setup sounds great when hit add apposed to just loud all the time? I'm older but love the rumble when stepped on like my scat pack does, just want that in my 2018 Q60 red sport 400. Thanks

[@StormAutoAdventures]

Wow, you'd think with not just one, but two intakes combined with a twin turbo forced induction setup, that you'd see some really nice gains. The gains were definitely noticeable by only dropping in dual K&N filters into my stock Q50 3.7 at the time. The gains were very noticeable, in fact very impressive feeling after having my custom twin Optimus long tube cold air intakes installed. The EcuTek tune shortly after improved the power even more. That's just with a naturally aspirated V6. Forced induction is supposed to respond much better to mods than NA does. I'm shocked it doesn't here though. I'd never believe it if I hadn't seen a bunch of your videos before. I wonder why this is?

[@Cadzilla_V]

I've been looking into the AMS intakes, heard they are the best ones.

[@ahmadalsheikh4236]

Anyone have stats on the AMS?

[@azimbalmacoon4925]

AMS is the most recommended and the best intakes for any vr30

[@DavidPerez-mw9et]

How do I get the info to start upgrading my 2015 premium q50 parts and what's are the best brands do you recommend ?

[@crod6431]

What about changing the cheap stock air filters and replace them high flow dry air filters? I did notice a better response in 2010 G37XS Sedan. I also added the Hikeitusa Performance Controller. It really improved the Throttle Response.

[@BoostInMotion]

You can always go with a better panel filter as long as it's dry flow but it doesn't really deal with any extra performance. And those performance controllers just make the gas pedal more reactive very much like a pedal Commander

[@BigHeadClan]

TL:DR - Wait for AMS Intakes But seriously should watch the video it has a lot of good information especially at the end.

[@Tanksstr8dropkennels1090]

So do u recommend just putting the 33-2409 k&n air filter in the stock assembly?

I just wanna wake up the sound a little. any recomendations?

[@ImportDomestic2006]

I wonder if a OEM replacement of a drop-in K&N filter will perform better on a 3.7L than one of these cold air intakes for the Q50s & Q70Ls.

[@BoostInMotion]

Michael the y-pipe I don't know if I gained anything necessarily. Because I haven't Dynoed the car but what I would recommend is do a catback exhaust. Reason being there are plenty of videos and proving Gaines untuned. 20-30whp untuned No check engine lights or issues with that.

[@gustavomorter4526]

wont you need a tune for a cat back exhauste ?

[@burgos227]

How much horsepower to the wheels will I get on my 2014 Q50 3.7L V6 non-turbo with a catback?? Anyone?

[@BoostInMotion]

Joel Burgos for the 3.7 the catback exhaust really gives anything in games I'm talking about 5 to 10 wheel horsepower on NA. With that car you would have to go with test pipes high-flow cats. And then get a uprev tune and even then you gain most of your wheel horsepower at lower rpms. I have seen 15-20whp gains with a tune

[@Lifeishealth_]

Yeah about 7-15 hp is right

[@rizocars6115]

Joel Burgos I have the 3.7, you gain 5hp if anything, a high flow cat will add another 5+

As other's have said 10-15 unless you get something really crazy, I'm about to pick up a Borella myself. Granted I'm picking that up mainly for sound and possible fuel efficiency gains. lol

Abe Choucair I don't want Stillen to come to me and try to beat me up. But just looking at the video. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5PYmGOYltKNrrs&feature=share It doesn't put perform stock. So at this point it just makes a bunch of noise

[@johninnh4880]

Abe Choucair .... I don't like gauze oil screen air filters. IMHO fine dirt, and oil vapor can cause trouble. Many MAF's need to be replaced or somehow cleaned. They do filter better than just window screening, and that too "filters" and flows real good. Just get a Wix Cellulose air filter and you will get close to the flow (210 CFM) of a gause oil screen filter, but with much better filtering. How much is a MAF replacement or a turbo? Oh that's right the crud they pass through cleans the direct injection carbon deposits off your intake valves.. yeah that's the ticket. Lol. AND cleaning them is a messy PITA too.

[@wooayekid]

Just dropped KNs in today yep you feel the difference!!

[@brentg231]

I have a ‘17 Q60 RS and dropped in K&N drop-ins late last summer. There is an immediate difference.

[@johninnh4880]

Brent G .... yep the stock Airbox is VERY good. K&N mmmm not a fan. A good high flow cellulose filter flows very well (Wix) and won't let super fine dust by to sand blast your intake valves. Or let oil vapor get on your MAF. YMMV.. I plan on keeping my car and it's not a lease so longevity is important to me. The Q60RS is sooo nice. Nice car!

Totally feel you on this one, I have a small KZbin channel with content towards the G37 platform. I’ve said the same thing but am exhaust instead in an intake.

What about the smooth Z1 silicone intake tubes for the 3.7?

I installed those but had some issues with rattling noise. The stock intake has flexible tubes for flexibility, especially needed for the Sport Version stiffer suspension. Those tubes started to crack making noise and created vaccum issues.

[@Malandro3]

Hey man, I have a question that’s not necessarily related to this video, maybe you can help. I installed BC Racing coilovers on my 2017 q50, installed camber arms on front and back, got an alignment and still have some weird shaking under acceleration.. I noticed you dropped your car as well, any advice?

[@BoostInMotion]

Malandro3 could be a few things. First check your wheel balance and tire wear. Make sure that the tire has smooth tread with no indentations. And also make sure that the wheels are balanced properly. Two if you're on aftermarket wheels not the oems make sure you have Hub Centric rings for your aftermarket wheels. 3 depending how loyal you are you can get some kind of axle vibration. I personally don't have any issues and I've had to Q50 since then. Under aggressive acceleration I may get a slight vibration in the steering wheel for a little but I have no issues

[@Malandro3]

Boost In Motion thanks for the reply. I did everything u mentioned but unfortunately didn’t do the trick. I have aftermarket wheels with hub centric ring, new tires, well balanced.. not sure what’s going on.. I barely have any camber.. gonna try to raise the coilovers to a stock height and see if it goes away.. the car only has 7k miles so cv joints, axles should be in great shape.. if anyone experienced this problem let me know 👍🏻

[@bigwood6470]

Malandro3, Have you tried Road Force Balancing? I'm running the BC coilovers with no issues. I had the shaking problem at one point and tried everything in the book to get rid of it. Just knew it had to be something more serious being that I had the balance done from multiple shops already. In short, I eventually had my wheels road force balanced and have been gold since.

Still stock and Yeah....I think AMS will get it right,it’s being 2 years of test,Stillen drop the price to $395 still lots money for a filter....

[@prm5798]

Concept z tests were on a stock car. Most likely any car with a tune or a JB1/4 would benefit from a intake. I have jb1+3 and a stillen cat back. Had issues with stillen intakes, changed them to BMS intakes and no Issues. Actually my car drives better with BMS than stock, better throttle response and nice turbo sound. Just sharing my experience.

[@BoostInMotion]

PR M5 oh that's pretty clausable. if you looked at the video the mass air flow tube is smaller than stock which definitely throws off the AFR readings.. But gains that are done are usually done on stock form. If you put in cams long tube headers. But remember mods are to improve what the OEM spec is. So based on that comparison OEM outperforms anything else. Also just because something feels better doesn't mean it is better. If you had the time put the stock intake back on and see if you feel a difference?

[@brandondownhour9569]

The one negative thing about bms is that their filters are oiled filters, so over time the maf will get clogged with oil and cause issues in the future

Drop in k&n to stock box

[@johninnh4880]

The whole point of the CAI is to scavenge cooler air which is denser (more O2 per cfm) and to flow better. But as you said more factors need to be considered. Mass of the intake "charge", its velocity etc.. a shorter intake may cause a lot of drivability problems. Also, testing with the hood up voids real world application data IMHO. I was a bata tester for the VF eng Miata supercharger, and have first hand knowledge of this stuff. Infiniti has a engineering and budget resources far beyond what many of these smaller aftermarket companies do. The stock intake scavenges "cold" air well AND flows well. Let alone establishing correct data via the MAF to the ECU. Bottom line Boost in Motion is correct. Stick with the OEM intake, and just use a Wix air filter (not a K&N).

Intakes have always been about enhancing engine sound for me, never for performance. I would hope that people understand aftermarket intakes aren’t for providing a noticeable gain in power and in most instances will slightly decrease power over certain RPM ranges. Buy it for sound alone - and usually for NA cars since a turbo muffles most of an engine’s induction sound. :)

[@randomlybruh]

You're spot on! I bought my ams intakes for better breathing for my turbos and louder spools. I didn't do it for the gains.

K&N is the best filter. Goes right in the stock location, it's a replacement for the stock OEM filter. Anything else is a waste of money.

[@LegacyGTStage2]

K&N's are garbage. I remember one was tested for flow on a Porsche 928 forum, and it flowed LESS than the stock paper filter. It also doesnt filter for shit and lets a lot more dirt into your engine, not to mention the oil can foul your MAF sensor.
