Re: k&N Intake help!

Intakes or any performance mod is going to increase the amount of noise your car makes. If you want a quieter intake, buy a drop in filter replacement because I think that will keep the resonator in place. Sorry I don't own a Z32, but most cars have a stock airbox and resonator.

I've got the stillen intake w/ the K&N filter and I think it makes the engine sound better! I'll sell you my old stock air box if you're going to take the K&N off...

K&N is lould because more air can get in, causing the sucking sound to happen. Some people like that, and some dont. If you dont want that kind of noise, then you would want to go back to your stock intake setup.
