Stillen Gen 3 Cold Intake or Stillen Gen 2 Cold Intake
 

Can anyone tell me how much of a difference there is in the sound/performance of the 3 compared to the 2 ? Seems like the Gen2 would be so much easier to install but if the performance is that much better with the Gen3 it mat be a better choice.

G2 didnt make much power or any......it sucked
G3 made good amount of power gains but takes longer to install

I don't want to get on you too much on your first post, but there must be 20 threads that ask the same exact thing.

the best intake to buy is the G3, that's it


G2 is just for a shiny intake system that does next to nothing

This ^, if it were as easy as a G2 to get the gains there wouldn't have been a G3.

Does anyone know if the G2 performed better with HFC and exhaust added to the setup????

Uhhh, yeah.

there's a reason there was a G1 -> G2 -> G3...lol

intake and rims are two of the biggest reposts on this board

merge all the intake threads into one enormous thread...lol

I have an excellent idea for this...........

To the OP,

I'd just wait for the Gen 4s to come out before purchasing. They are supposed to be even better than G3s.

On a side note, do the Gen2s count as CAI? Aren't they just short engine bay rams?

it's a short ram intake




where'd you hear about a G4??

The G4s are being released right before we get the G5s........... :D

i want the G7's

Those aren't gettin released til Dec'10 if we are LUCKY. I'm expecting May '11 on those personally.

the G7's wrap around the engine , then goes behind the grille and then pops out the wheel wells and then out to the front of the car.....must add like 55 hp

55 might be a bit on the conservative side! I'm thinking way more based on efficiency alone.

pretty much, the point is to not waste money on the G2's

:werd:

The g8 experimental design runs the tubes through the firewall, into the cabin, and sits directly in front of the AC vents to suck in cold air. 80hp gain minimum.

^^ that's amazing !!



so what do you do in the winter time, it will be freezing in the cabin

Sometimes you have to suffer for HP y0.

nothing like some good olde pounds of torque to liven up the day

Perhaps a newer generation will just wrap the exhaust pipes back through an intercooler and then into the intake again. Forced induction with exhaust suction too!

Hey that might solve this whole Global Warming thing I hear so much about!

Yea but you have to have the A/C running... I hear if you turn the heat on it helps to pass emmisions...

Just remove the entire intake system back to the throttle bodies and take the hood off. Best cold air system evar!

Wow. This thread got silly in a hurry. :rolleyes:
On that note, just wait till you guys see my YouTube vid of the upcoming G10 intake!!! It hooks up to the Stillen CBE and loops back to the engine.

:icon18:

you guys are out of control.. that being said.. I'll bring the ideas to the engineers.. :D

^^ the air filters in front of the AC is a neat idea...lol...cold air intake FTW!!

That not considered a Cold Air Intake anymore, it would actually qualify as an ICE COLD AIR INTAKE (ICAI)!!!

Ice Ice Baby..........lol

quick question about the stillen intake , does it give a check engine light on. i read somewhere on the forum that it throws a code.

No. Not unless you seriously botch something during the install, like damage your MAF sensors or something.

that would suck.. How does this intake affect the warranty

hows the carb approval going? i head to cali in feb 2010

I heard this is the new design for the Stillen Gen4 intakes. It comes with dyno-proven gains too!

Don't tell the guys at Stillen I leaked this video. :tup:

^That was pretty funny.

The sad thing is, people are actually selling "electric turbochargers" based on this:
