No doubt the Stillen makes good power on the dyno compared to the stock boxes, but is hard to simulate what the factory intakes are designed for on a dyno.

No doubt the Stillen makes good power on the dyno compared to the stock boxes, but is hard to simulate what the factory intakes are designed for on a dyno. They are specifically made to operate more effectively while the car is in motion, and designed to force more air in as speed increases (something a dyno cannot replicate). Even with large fans this is difficult to simulate on a dyno.
With the above said, Stillen is really the only intake that has proven to produce any noticeable gains on the VQ37VHR, so if you are going to drop your cash on an intake, go with Stillen (not a huge Stillen fan, but I will give them some credit). The 4-5 HP you end up with is not worth $500 and hacking up your car to me, but I know it is to some and you can't argue that they don't sound good.
