Install of Stillen G3 Intakes complete - review, etc.

Josh@STILLEN · 04-02-2009, 06:31 PM

There are considerations to exhausts, some prefer really loud ones, some want giant cans out the back, titanium tips, for example..

But I can guarantee you that top performance gains from the exhaust have to be worked for. It's not just a matter of throwing some pipes together and calling it a system if you're looking for true performance.

and thanks for installing the intakes Skorch! What do you think of the intake growl?

Thanks for a great product. Honestly I don't know what exactly I'm hearing, the intakes or the HFCs. The combo together sounds awesome though! I can't wait to put an exhaust on to complete the symphony.

stunning results.
is the car's native tune so flexible that it exploits airflow/backpressure advantages so fully? makes me wonder if a tune would be necessary at all.

either way, bolt ons have the z in m3 territory, power wise. wow!

My hopes are that a tune will provide pretty significant increases as well, making it a very necessary mod for me.

throttle response is usually made sharper and more linear with a chip-- usually worth it for me just for that. if a tune can more fully take advantage of intake and outflow, the z will be truly beastly.
