One thing nice about the Z1 intake is it doesn't neck down so there isn't any turbulence from that. AAM's sleeve at least makes it a smooth transition. Everything else that necks down looks like a terrible design. And the AEMs are being discontinued. They only support 2011 and below anyways. I had a set that worked perfect and made great gains, and the other that was terrible lol.

Well all i have to add is since i ditched my stillen gen 3 copy i made and went to 2.75" intakes i made, ive been down on power from every friend and other on these forums! 2 tuners have given me a complete tune using those. Everytime i add a new part and retune i lose power. Ive desided it was the 2.75" intakes. Now i have stillen gen 3 originals and going back for a retune again. If i cant pull 320+ hp then my motor has a big problem! But im keeping my fingers crossed its the intake. I think stillen has it right. Maybe our motor just doesnt have enough for bigger intakes.

i gained a bit more with my 2.75" intakes.

maybe due to being homemade from the hardware store made the difference for you.....

No im gonna say 2.75" aluminium intake pipes the same no matter where you get it and having 2.75" CNC machined MAF housings was good too. O yeah and did i mention Z1 couplings and the K&N filters from a gen 3? Pretty sure the hardware store doesnt sell that stuff. And you admit to an Etune. I call BS on gaining power since your tiny little bhole isnt a dynojet.

was not an etune. I received a MAF map to get the car running properly based on not necking down to make the stock map not work.

then took the car to AAM for a full tune even though without a tune I still put down more than most with one.

and as for your last sentence I don't speak retard. if you wanna rephrase maybe I can clear up your confusion about the dyno? I was on.

Just adding pics to the page for reference

How is the silicone elbow holding there, is it pinched at the duct area?
It looks like you did not need to cut the rad support.

Do you have long tubes installed?

Correct, no cutting. No LTH's, but intakes are True CAI's.

Hey Firehawk maybe you can do mine in the future. Nice install

Any noted significant improvement with this mod?

You have a garage? ;) I'll be happy to

Mind if I share mine here? :tup:

How would the Z1's compare to the stillen gen 3's? If there is any difference at all?

Performance wise; no. I do know the Z1 is 2.5" ID. Idk Stillens ID.

I have a ported upper and TB's on order to match my ported lower. 63mm is 2.5", so it should work really well. I may not have test results for a while tho.

Hope your saving up to get the car built next year.

I'm seeing what i can do. Wife needs a job so I have more of my money ;)

i live 5 mins down the street from Z1 and want this intake so bad but i cant justify spending 440$ for it and see next to no gains from my current short tube intake.

Thought I would add mine as well.http://file:///var/folders/z4/wgz1h_...C24EA-2000.jpg

Thought I would add mine as well!

Just curious if anyone has any experience with the Z1 Upgrade Kit? Installation is a pita, but they claim an additional 5rwhp on top of the CAI.

Currently running AAM short-tails and trying to get a set of these, I've been reading the ID of the Z1 intakes are slightly larger than OEM. Should I get the car tuned after installing them or is it not enough of a ID increase to need a tune?

Here you go & yes it's an improvement!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...13231053f5.jpg

Wondering if the F.I. tow bar will clear those filters

Any verdict on the amount of intake noise these produce vs. Stillen?

The louder one will get my $$$.

Both are about the same.

I have no idea...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c163161b2c.jpg

Heck; With my FI exhaust,,,i wouldn't know anyway's.
As it sing's a sweet melody to me.

Just got mine from z1. Cant wait for the install on Saturday. Anyone feel a difference after install? I'm straight piped so i doubt it'll change the exhaust sound.

Haha, I love my test pipes/Invidia combo but I can’t deny the sweet scream of intakes at high RPM. Plus I need a retune and may as well throw these in the mix.

I upgraded mine after initial install & Tune,going back for re-tune soon.
The upgrade fits the Z1 & the Stillen; be prepared to fabricate your crash bar or replace it with one that adds clearance. 6” base mount & filters are roughly 7.5” at base & are inverted...it was a noticeable difference from the basic Z1 filters.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...73bf2819a3.jpg

So now do you have to take bumper off every time you change the filters,seems troublesome.

Yes,but i went 15mos/18k miles & they didn't look bad at all,,,still cleaned them
The front Fascia is easily removed without dinging it up.

Clean them about once a year. No problem at all.
