What a pain.

Stillen, if you are reading this, any suggestions? I hate to take the system out and cut the intake boxes to the right size. $450 should give me a better product, and not a "G35-kinda fit in a 370Z" intake system.

Currently a bit disappointed with Stillen in general and really hate to hear yet another story.

My Gen 3 fits kinda "OK", but one side is lopsided bending inwards more and not symmetrical. May have something to do with how the stock intake holes were enlarged so I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. Honestly think a high probability it being the intake as one side is perfect and the holes were enlarged pretty much the same with plenty of room.

Their quality seems to vary for whatever reasons and for sure the exhaust is not good for many when it comes to fit.

Customer service? Called Josh because the exhaust was giving me fits. He wanted me to jack the car up and take pictures so he would have something to show. Said he was not a tech, a marketing guy and that a tech would call, none did. Sorry, but with all the people complaining of poor fit, you want me jack it up and take pictures? Auh….come on, get serious. Like I love to jack one up, get jack stands, lay on my back on cement and then reverse the process to validate what dozens of others are saying?

Stillen is very reasonable priced with name recognition, but I’ll order from someone else from now on based upon my personal experience and what appears to be a trend reported by numerous others. Gladly pay a bit more for less grief. Then again, they all might be about the same…..who knows?
