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

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.

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.

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?
