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?
