Stillen intake ruined by dealership.

Man, that's ******* crazy! I'd be kicking their asses if I was you. Talk to the managers and get them to reimburse you completely for the intakes and "install". Then,

It sounded quite loud even though my diesel took most fun out of listening to your baby - but your car is definitely louder than stock .

I wouldn't say no to know where you go for your tune, I mean had you not told here I would have prolly gone for this guy at the stealership. I'm OK to go far if the job is done properly!
going to pm you now.

The funniest thing is, me and my father went there with the GT-R and 370.

after our visit out of nowhere 3 other 370Zs came and a G37. it was like I lured them there

and even funnier, after I got my FI CBE and LTH installed this guy I know that is going to use his 370 for rally driving just went to me and went "lol I ordered 2 FI LTH sets"

I am a trendmaker.

well the tuner guy that I know has told me that if they repay me he will reinstall it for free since he is getting pissed off at dealerships messing up cars. if they don't repay me he offered to make the exact thing but I just have to pay for the materials used and I can pick any type of metal.

titanium stillen intake ftw

Yeah, unfortunately for you it doesn't always pay off to be a trendmaker. I think this guy who installed your intake needed a bit more training on other people's cars before touching yours and messing it up for you .

I'm pissed for you but I definitely am happy to know to never EVER give my car to those idiots to mess up, it's really disappointing & disgusting .
