I have looked at some cast aluminum 8 inch tubing. I was thinking of chopping it in half and welding 4 inches to each side to extend the intake side of the Y. KellyeFields made a nice shield our of some flat sheet Aluminum, I might do that to if the factory shield isn't working. Will bring it to the Dyno.. I cut out the fins inside of the front bumper. I got nice access into the that area.

Do you intend to use the honeycombs? Even the Stillen engineer I spoke with thought it might be a good idea. Maybe Osiris will sell you his. If the Stillen engineer is right my problem may have nothing to do with the Y-pipe intake. And you may not have any issues at all. Stillen has been selling these kits for years and there are not a ton of people chiming in here.

Just thought I would mention that other than this truly minor drive-ability issue the kit truly has been awesome - totally changed the character of the car.

I would like too, but I am lacking funds until I get some UMA Fenders sold.

Well I got my kit installed last week and picked the car up on Thursday. Went on about a 500 mile round trip and the car and kit performed flawless. I dyno'd in at 413 WHP which is about what I was looking for. I instructed my tuner to set it up extra reliable.
I have plenty of clean power and the drivability is excellent. At normal cruising speeds you would never know any work had been done on the car. I cruised at speed ranges from 60 - 70 and 80 for long periods at a time. And of course slammed it down many times as well. I feel like I put the car through a pretty good series of driving conditions and she never missed a beat. Like a said, it drove flawless.
I have to give credit to J Tran Studios in Houston Texas. Ron did a spectacular install and of course, Johnny is the master of tuning our cars. Taking it back in this Saturday to change the SC oil and I should be good to for long term, except that I will be back in before long for meth injection. Mainly for engine safety reasons.
I will post some pictures tomorrow. I forgot to take them today.

Thanks everyone, I like it too! Really like how the Stillen SC is performing right now as well.

TX2K is one of the biggest car shows in America where a lot of the big horsepower cars meet. It last for about 3-4 days and has a series of events.

The TX2K event started as a small grass roots Supra only event in 2000 and since that time has grown into a national car event that attracts hundreds of cars and thousands of people from across the United States. At the 2010 event, we had 26 of the states represented including visitors from other countries. In addition to a strong continued commitment from the Supra community, this event draws a large number of other car enthusiasts including Porsche’s, Viper’s, Lambo’s, Vette’s, etc… The event schedule follows the same basic format each year.

It would be nice to see some high horsepower Forced Induced VQ's make it to the event.

Just an update. My 2013 Stillen SC 370Z has settled down beautifully. For the last year the car has run flawlessly reliably. !2000 miles. It just runs, every day, like it was factory built with the SC.
I am very pleased.

It just fixed itself?
