From the Stillen CAI install. You have to dremel out a little bit for the intake pipes to fit. That's why I'm not doing it. Also, the low gains. You an get that from HPS hoses and drop-in filters

Bottom line is that he gained 42 whp with bolt-on's and a tune. That's pretty sweet for a N/A high revving set-up. You could maybe squeeze a little more out with a lightened pulley but not really necessary. Once the VVEL is cracked I think a lot of people will opt for Long Tube headers because you'll be able to get a lot more top end out of them. Maybe 340-ish whp along with the above mods.

Also, stillen pretty much shot themselves in the foot by sponsoring this video since it shows that their CAI yields minor gains when paired with the HFC and cat-back. I'm sure you'd get the same with hps hoses and K&N filters with this set-up
