Stillen Gen 3 Intake ate through my A/C Pipe...

The Injens do not have this issue. The only other thing about installing the Stillen intakes is that you have to do some cutting, nothing overly difficult but it deters

The Injens do not have this issue. The only other thing about installing the Stillen intakes is that you have to do some cutting, nothing overly difficult but it deters some people. The Injens on the other hand sit very low to the ground and so it is not advised to drive through deep puddles as you can suck in some water.

Edit: with the Injens you also have to replace your washer fluid tank for a smaller one supplied by Injen!

I know my G3s came with some rubber tubing for the AC Lines. How long have you had yours? I bought mine back in August I think and installed it myself so I know it came with that.

Mine just went because the installer didn't wrap the AC lines...got mine installed in October. Weird it took about the same amount of time to rub through.

They say that silicones or rubber whatever they should have used to cover the intakes, are too weak, so they put cement on it and rubber on top of it.

I heard that whole water thing is just a myth... or perhaps it's just with turbo'd cars?
