Stillen intake is polished...not chrome....as are almost all other "shiny" ones in the market. Chrome intakes = ghetto fabulous.

Anyway, nice to see KN jump into the mix, they had awesome intakes for the STI. As most have said and someone tested, the claimed hp gains are probably bogus....
I meant chromed not polished. The only picture I remember seeing of a Stillen G3 was one where the piping appeared in the picture to be chromed.

One particular manufacturer that I know makes chromed plated intake piping is MAC and this was the cullprit I had used on the Stang I referred to where the chroming made the piping get streaming hot.

Word of caution...don't read my OP response with any idea that I was targeting the G3 because I wasn't. The points I made about what any CAI is materially composed of is completely valid despite the apparent admission that the G3's are polished and NOT chromed.
