Stillen gen 3 intake...review

BG40thZ · 07-05-2010, 02:10 PM

For starters, much thanks to Snakes709 for the DIY on the intakes and DIGItonium for the DIY for the bumper removal. Saved me a lot of headaches and time!

Install was straightforward, probably took me and a friend 3 hours start to finish. This is my first mod to the Z, I definitely notice a change in the sound. The car also seems more responsive when you get on the gas, definitely noticeable. Anyone thinking of getting these, I highly recommend it! It will be interesting to see how the car feels when the FI cbe and hfc's come in!

Pics to come!

Thanks for the review. How was it cutting the holes?

you'll probably notice a loss in torque when you add the exhaust components, a tune should put you right back where you need to be.

Not too bad. The composite material is easy to get through. I used a dremel to cut. I used one of the tubes to figure out how much material needed to be removed. Basically, just remove material from the inside (side closest to radiator) for each hole.
