Any suggestion on selecting a dual cold air intake?

The hp Gains advertised assume a stock exhaust setup.

Well then, much appreciated!!

I almost deserved a RTFM there...

It's also been proven to show the best gains on modified cars as well, those are facts not kool-aid.

I would look into the G3's and look at ART's resonated test pipes... they show more gains than high flow cats as well as any other test pipe out there but without a lot of the noise. That should get you about 20 whp total I would think... perhaps more. They are expensive, so be warned and if that doesn't interest you then Berks high flow cats a lot of people get with just the stock set-up.

One guy did just a cheap ebay Y pipe for 100.00 and the ART pipes and gained 20 whp. No other mods

Stillen Gen3 >> Injen. Why change out the windshield washer reservoir? Why chance a potential water problem because the filters are placed too low? Why buy a product only to have to do a "fix", no matter how cheap, to solve a problem you don't need?

Curious to know why the JWT Pop chargers have not had a mention, surely they must better than drop ins ??

i have been searching .. but i, like everyone else (at least thats what i think) find different opinions and different experiences with them.. and every opinion is greatly appreciated. I will look deeper about the G3s though

I didn't have to fix my injens. They just work and are awesome. Just gonna hear this community drone on about the stillens, which require cutting to install and bumper removal for filter replacement.

Both do the same job. Whatever.

Red__Zed

the injens don't give the same results.

We've seen some reports of water problems with Injens in rainy / humid weather too. The reports are that the filter material is fond of restricting in high humidity (post-rain) conditions in general (leading to engine failing to start), and that because of the tube layout rain runoff tends to run down the tubes onto the filters as well.

Those are primary concerns about the Injen solution, not the performance.

man .. that is good to know .. injens no more .. it pours in HI!

BajaZ

damn.. the more i learn the less i know .. all i know about their performance of these intakes is what i've read so far, but the pictures i have seen the G3s look neater once intalled and the sound is nice and clean. Ill like to learn how to do this myself.. anyone from Hawaii ?

I was considering the G3 but found, after looking at the dyno chart on the Stillen site, that the majority of the gain is between 6500-7200 rpm. The mid range is significantly less gain. I don't drive much at the redline so I didn't think that a 2-4% hp gain in the midrange rpm's was worth the install, maint. and $600. You can check out the chart at the Stillen site.

I have the Stillen CBE and love it. Nice resonate tone, kind of like a stock G37 sound on steroids with no drone at all. Butt dyno says the power is improved.

Stillen is a class company and makes great products so I would go with the G3 if you think the power is desirable for your driving style.

I wish
