I went with the R2C's only because of the ease of install and maintenance. They sound great, and the car feels a bit more responsive in the mid-range (according to by butt-dynometer).
If you don't mind the extra work to install and service the filters, then go with the Stillen Gen 3.

I was looking at a Stillen Gen 3 as well, but then there's this: Amplified Motorsport - AmplifiedMotorsport.com - performance audio auto accessories which is one piece, and supposedly doesn't require cutting like the Stillen does.
Anyone have one of those Takeda's installed? How is it?

Hmm, might have to go with the R2c. Ease of install and maintenance plus I won't have to worry about water. Rains a lot here in the PNW. I'm not really concerned about top end HP gains from long tube intakes. Mid range usable power that R2c gives is more beneficial for me.

Its your option: Stillen Gen 3, Injen or Takada. But definitely go long tube. Ram air is weak. IMHO I've got the Gen3 and really love them. Didn't need to do any permanent mods to install them. Just some dense foam tape in the right places and it's all business now. Love the sound and the power. Especially at mid range.

We've had several owners who have purchased used cars and the Gen 3, went to install it an found that the holes had been enlarged from a previous install from the original owner. I'd have a look at the installation instructions if you're unclear of what's actually happening.
As far as the filters, K&N recommends 50,000 mile cleaning intervals, but most enthusiasts will do it sooner. But even at 30,000 miles, that generally 2-3 years for most people, so limited concern.
No issues with water, with the location of the filters, and for extra measure a urethane rain shield. Guys have driven all over monsoons and had no problems. If you're paranoid, you can always go with a pre-filter on the conical filters for additional protection.
As far as power, I'll let the forums do the talking, there are dyno's all over this forum, the 370Z, 350Z and G35 forums to back the gains..

There you have it. I didn't have to do any permanent modifications to my '10 sedan. Just careful fitment and some minor isolation with foam/neoprene. Maybe I'll have to change out the neoprene after awhile, but that's better than anything permanent.
