So any more updates on this r2d2 intake? any independent dyno test data?? I'm very interested if it even comes close to the g3 gains without any of the drawbacks.

I have been talking to the guys there as I know we have some interested people here. They were supposed to have a 370 there last week, but due to bad weather the guy couldn't come. Once the Z actually gets there they will know the same day (one hour I was told) whether it fits the same as the G37 or not. I will be sure to let you all know when he e-mails me this week. (hopefully)

Maybe I should start another thread, but how many of you are interested in this intake? I have encouraged a group buy, as well as them becoming a sponsor here.

not to sound like a douche but so far all other intakes I've seen produce about 1/5 the power that the Stillen G3's produce. What I'm trying to say is, if you care about performance, anything other than the G3s are a waste of time.

I can see you are a Stillen fan, that's cool, but keep an open mind.

Yeah, IF and a big one at that, this intake can even produce 75% of the hp that the G3 does, i will be all over it. It takes away all the drawbacks of the g3 while yielding good enough gains. Tin, please keep us posted. Thanks.

does it really take that long for you to install a exhaust with more than 1 person?

Alright, when you get them installed, get a dyno run and post it.
