Stillen Gen III ultra long intake?

You're safe buying the Stillen IMO... other mfgrs will argue that the dyno numbers are a little misleading because with a car sitting on a dyno it doesn't benefit from the ram-air effect of being at speed, and that in real world conditions something like the JWT pop intake would perform the same... but even if that's true, the Stillen's are easy to install, sound great, look great, and are reasonably priced. Go for it!

Travis, i thought i read in one of the forums here that the install was not that easy because we have to remove the front bumpers and make a hole on something?

You do have to remove the front bumper to install it, but that is really not difficult. As for a hole, you're not actually making a hole in anything but rather enlarging an existing opening, which is also rather simple. I was able to do this at home with no problems.

Thanks alot for all the info, but like I said before I'm just getting into the car world, and I have ALOT to learn. I know a couple people that can help me out and point me into the right direction. I think I'm going to go ahead and order the gen3 intake today, I'm also looking at the Stillen z/g header, I wish I knew exactly what to buy because I want to start modifying my Z, I have the money, but I don't know exactly what to buy, I'm getting very frustrated. Taking the enitre front bumber off does seem like alot of work, I'm going to have to take the Z to a bodyshop to have them install everything, how much do you tink something like that would run me?
