Very nice!

Get the tubes, they are cheap and add a small about of function. Sound won't be there though.

IMO, the tubes are and filters are the best bang for the buck compared to the Stillen G3's. HP comparisons are minimal between the two after mods... Save your money and go with the tubes...

i'd like to say the same.. but I have yet to see any real power numbers with the tubes and drop ins... as far as power difference being minimal.

Someone on here had them dyno's at 8 - 10 hp with tubes and filters... the real question is the dyno for the G3's after mods. I think i also read that someone put the g3's and got a tune and the HP boost was only 10 HP after mods. Id have to find the thread...

Found it...

If you already had a full exhaust and added G3's..

So, my mistake, the tune was already done, but the intake only added 9 hp...

Yes, I actually have read that after mods done, that the G3's power output tends to not look as good as with a completely stock car.

Part of the issue is most people who have their numbers posted are using the G3's and are 310-320 whp... no one really has (that I have seen to be fair) numbers listed quite like that with just tubes and a set of K&N drop-ins.

I think that ANY intake system could work, but the SRI systems need colder air run to them... hence the reason that their numbers are low and sometimes lose power. As has been stated here many times... the OE set-up is quite good. I would love to see, and may myself get the drop ins, maf tubes and the fang vents and do a before and after. I'm looking into it and it will be rather stealth, which I also like.
