K&N drop ins are the best

One more thing.... I know there are lot of people on here that love their Stillen intakes, and I think that is great. You are very passionate about them, and I know I am not going to change your mind. There is nothing wrong with the Stillen intake. It is a lot better than any other aftermarket intake I have seen or researched. My only point is that the stock air boxes are not a problem compared to some of the other restrictions.

Please don't put me in this camp though. I run the G3 intakes, and I like them, but I'm loyal to no vendor. If I find evidence a mod isn't working out right, it comes off in a heartbeat, although I do try to avoid bashing the vendor about it. I had epic problems with a Stillen exhaust system back in 2009 and I was never satisfied with their customer support on that issue. I ended up eating the cost of the exhaust and throwing it out at a metal recycling place.

Yeah, same here. I don't really like this dude saying basically "you guys are only acting like you got gains because you are loyal to Stillen and you spent a lot of money". The gains are PROVEN, end of story. You "feeling" like stock is better, is just that, a feeling, with no proof what-so-ever to back it up. If there was hard proof that the stock intakes were better than the G3's, I'd rip them off in a heart beat, and I bet that many others here feel the same way.

You guys are funny. No one accused you of anything. I never said there was anything wrong with the Stillen (it just happened to be what was being discussed). They make some power on a dyno... no doubt. My point is (again), you cannot accurately measure the performance of the stock air box on a dyno. There is evidence of this. I can't link the research and articles because they are on other sites (I tried and it was blocked). If you search you will find the information. Take two deep breaths, chill, and read what I wrote in my first post again.... Please. Thanks.
