The stillen 3rd generation long tube intakes mount directly behind the radiator. Very unlikely that you'd hydrolock it unless you say...drive it into a lake (in which case you have larger problems)

:iagree:

I approve this message!!


p.s.

No issues if installed properly.

K&N drop ins and HPS tubes.

I've yet to see a back to back dyno where any of the SRI's or CAI's net better gains than the drop ins + tubes, and in any case even if the gain is 3-5 more whp, that is NOT worth the 2-3 times greater price tag IMO.

Gotta Pay if you wanna play! ;)

I did the R2C. They are short rams and very easy to install and less chance of a water lock. I don't think that they are much louder than the stock airboxes. I did do it 10 days after I bought the car so comparing them to stock is very difficult.

:iagree:

HPS tubes = ~$110
K&N drop ins = ~$90
Total = ~$200

Stillen G3 = ~$525


When there's no clear evidence of significantly better gains and what evidence there is points to an improvement of less than 5 whp, that's a lot of extra pay for very little additonal play.

Just sayin...

I'm sure they look and sound cool tho'.

Used Injen CAI + install: $275

Still 75 bucks more than you paid, but they do sound cool :D

Shado, I will do whatever you say. I don't want to be shot in the head over a plate of pasta. :ugh2:

Damn near all the intakes only add power high up in the RPM range. That being said i've got the gen 3's and love them, but then agian i didn't buy them they came with my 2nd Z, i stole the parts from so if it had injen or (insert random intake name here) that's what i would have now. :tiphat:

It has been known to happen. :ughdance:

Majority will go for Stillen G3 but it's kinda expensive compare to others.I have one more question.what effect will gain after changing higher cc injectors?

Are you going FI ??

Now THAT is a good deal.

For that price, even if it makes the same power or only a smidge more, but causes no driveability issues and sounds great, then WIN!

Without tuning? High fuel trims and a CEL.

You don't need new injectors unless you are getting a turbo or sc.

I see.So,for basic increase in HP change CAI and Full exhaust system will make a different?

I am very interested in the tubes, already got the drop ins. Might you have some pics or some part #'s, and what you did exactly?

Thanks!

There's also a set made by Cobb that should work exactly the same way -- just get whichever one is cheapest.

:iagree:

I'm definitely on the Replacement hoses/K&N drop-in bandwagon. I can't justify the extra $300+ and hours of installation for the Stillen CAI. My goal for an intake mod would be throttle response over hp gain and sound. If a CAI makes 5-8 more peak hp on a dyno and sounds better it's not really important to me. That's just my .02

The install for the gen 3 intake uaully takes about half an hour.

I just bought the G3 Intake kit... I'll do a DIY once it comes in.... Although AK's it pretty good.

:-P

There are a few others aswell

The kind that uses pressure from the exhaust gases to push more air into the engine.

Fuk yeahhhhhh

Which intake to get?
 

I just bought an 09 370z and would like to throw an intake on it. I'm tossing around the AEM or the Stillen G3.

Can anyone give me advice on what's the best bang for the buck for our platform?

Best bang for the buck? Neither of those...

http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...installed.html

depends on what you want, some of the intakes also serve a purpose in making the engine bay more aesthetically pleasing also... it all really depends on your budget and your preference

I'd like something that makes the engine bay look nice but also performs. On my 350z I had Stillen intakes but they were like pop-chargers. Not as visually pleasing but they worked well. I saw the Stillen G3 they looked nice and were unique but I need some advice from those already familiar with the 370z platform.

I haven't seen any major complainants about the stillen G3 but I think the Injen gets about one more whp... so really its up to you haha. Most reputable intakes out there are close in performance gain the major difference is which one you like most

Intake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ok. I'm looking for a new intake for my Z~!!!! WHich one should i get??
I'm thinking K&N ,, what ya think??
Im pretty sure most of u talked about this before but help ur Z brother out ppl!!!! :tiphat:

Search broham!

Stillen gen3. They sound great, look great and provide excellent gains. I mean its a Z, you cant go wrong w Stillen.

Most people go with the gen 3's, they look, sound and perform great, can't go wrong. If i were modding on a budget I would do drop-ins and maf tubes.

I myself am in the market as well. I'm looking for a used Gen 3 to pop up for sale. If not I'm getting the Takeda Attack cold air intake that is due to release soon. msrp is only $350.

mine will be going up for sale in a few weeks, stillen supercharger is going on soon. ~6k miles on them, about a year old.

Pm'd

Most people go with Injen, great performance and sound, easy access, dry filter is a plus, comes in black.

agreed! i will be dumping the pos takedas for these w/ k&n drop ins...
