JohnYu · 03-09-2015, 03:36 PM

Alright guys , I just bought a stillen G3 intake and I went to Nissan dealership asked they to install it for me , and they said they are going to program it after installed , total cost $350 ? It is real like that expensive to install ? It is really necessary to program it if you install a intake ?

You do not need to tune for a Stillen intake. They are robbing you, something you agreed to when you asked the dealer to install your intake.

Is there a specific reason you cannot install it yourself? It is a very easy install and quick, no need to program anything

Yes. Take a quick read through his post history. Some people should farm things out.

Have somebody you know help you out. Just go through the step by step diy on here. Shouldn't take you more than 2 hrs with a buddy. Make sure there's lots of beer on tap too!

John, it's easier then it sounds and looks. I did mine with the help of my 40 year old neighbor. Did I mention I'm 54? I took pictures that I can email you if you're interested and I believe it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Install and tune for $350 from a dealer? I promise you all they are going to do is install the intake, remove the ground lead to the battery then connect it back. Intense programming indeed.
