There are other options out there. The consensus on here is that Stillen is the way to go. I didn't feel like cutting out a larger hole or the need to spend about $200 more for 3-5 horsepower so I went with the Takeda. Bottom line is it's your car, do what you want but if you're scared of the product before you purchase it then maybe do more research. You don't need a mechanic to install these, getting the bumper off is the hardest part of the install and that's only because it's the typical import hidden screws trick they always seem to enjoy designing.

No regrets at all, no rattling of any kind and I absolutely love it. Although if you are planning to go FI in less than a year I would say hold off. IMHO

Got mine done today. No rattles. Sounds great. And getting the bumper off IS the hardest part.

Installed mine myself about 2 weeks after buying the car.

Love them.

No rattles. Great sound and results.

I'm a chick. Had no issues installing. If your shop is complaining about rattles.... take it somewhere else.

i could of swore i read on here somewhere that they said the k&n drop ins reduce your hp?

thanks all for the input... i was going to take my car to z1 this weekend, but i'll be out of town again so ill have to postpone it till the week after.

i joined the group a couple of days ago... mostly everyone recommends z1, it's just a little drive for me (about 100 miles) from where i live.

I don't know if there's any consensus as to how much the drop ins give you. I got them and I don't know if I could notice any gains with my butt dyno. If anyone here is able to feel what 3-5 hp feels like then hats off to them, I sure as hell can't. I certainly didn't feel any losses.

where about exactly are you in the Atlanta area?

I personally always went to Z1. The guys always took care of my car there and they are fun to just hang out with etc.

In emergencies, when i couldnt get to them as they are 60+ miles away also, I would go to speed for sale who are also good folks.

i live in loganville, on the walton county side.

haven't had a chance to go yet, got my car i think about a month ago now... i went to madhavi, i think that's how you spell it. they seem to be good and cool to talk to while you're there.

Ive been to Madhavi, those guys are kinda jerks lol.

Logalville, thats where Mike lives!

i talked to sam at mahdavi and he was cool, maybe i caught him on a good day? lol

i only seen 2 370z's in loganville... 1 was a red one and then the other i believe was a silver nismo

No regrets whatsoever.

Dyno proven 5hp for K&N drop ins 1-2hp more with the post MAF tubes.

G3's I beleive I have seen about a 9hp gain.

G3's are actually 17.5 rwhp gain. Dyno proven

If thats the first and only mod, then yes. If you already have other mods, you wont get 17.5 after installing g3. Law of Diminishing Returns.
