There is a small self-contained box that hangs onto the bottom of the stock intake on the driver side - what is that thing? I assume it is not needed for the Stillen G3's since there is no way to connect it?

what is the torque setting on the strut tower brace?

52 ftlbs is the torque figure in the service manual for the brace bolts.

This should get a sticky in the DIY section. Excellent walkthrough. Thank you!

Thank you for the write-up! I wasn't sure if a CAI would be a good idea since I live in Oregon and it rains a lot. My big concern was buying something that sat too low and would end up creating a mess. You beat me with living in a flood zone though lol.

Is there anyway to do this without cutting any parts?

FastPaced

Nope. The intake tubes simply don't fit without grinding the ducts down. I did my install today. As long as you have a dremel it's really easy and just requires some steady hands to get a nice cut and sand on them.

Stillen Gen 3 Intakes and Exhaust came to my friends job on Thursday night. Friday afternoon he put the exhaust on for me...Saturday morning I put the intakes on. So I didn't let them collect dust at all. I reset the ECU and had to fix the auto up on windows. I didn't do the pedal dance ecu reset like I should have since I unplugged battery...took no chances!

Definitely invest in a Dremmel, or just buy one use it for 5 minutes and return it. either way works.

Car definitely pulls harder, but engine is still breaking in so I gotta wait a little longer to see cars full power.(I installed both of these parts at just under 1000 miles lol!) The car sounds amazing, you don't really hear the intakes as much as the exhaust. I've already gotten a load of compliments, the thick exhaust tips are very sexy. I just have to adjust the exhaust a bit next time it is on the lift. One side sticks out more than the other. Should be a simple fix.

HFC's coming before end of year...or in the spring, haven't decided!


Also on a side note, I did not remove the brace, saw no need to since there was plenty of room. Also I used the suggested fix to clear the AC lines by slicing the second tube in half and wrapping the lines. I only had a little duct tape so when I go clean filters I'll put a stronger adhesive on.

One quick question about dremmeling, after the sides are cut (assuming you cut only the needed amount for the hose) would you be able to re-install the OEM intake without any issues? Only asking because if hell froze over and the wife could pry the key outta my hand and we had to sell the Z it sometimes seems easier to sell it back as stock. Thanks.

FastPaced

This (x2.)

I'm reverting my car back to stock, but my question would be if the functionality of the OEM intakes still be the same with the cuts made on those passages?

EYE ESS

I'm unsure, if you really had to leave intakes in I don't think it would be the end of the world. Don't mod if you are in a lease. It really depends on how big you make the holes I suppose, you could always try stuffing the stock pipes back in.
