Anyone have stillen gen3 intake regrets?

for those who claim to "only do 3 mods".....I strongly suggest you run away from this page . Mods are an addiction , with the increased power you will want more control and better stoping. You may also find yourself wanting to hit the accelerator pedal a wee bit harder and take that fun turn a little bit more aggressively. Once that kicks in there's no turning back. You will find yourself buried in wheels & tires and then suspension section on this site. By then it's too late, like the mafia you try to get out but something draws you back in.

There is no 12 step program for you to kick the habit.

I know stillen gen 3's are the way to go, but I gotta say, my AEM's are very comparable. Install was simple. Cutting was not required. They sound great. The pipes are bigger in diameter themselves. The only real compromise is the maf reader box thing, which I have not had a problem with at all. With a new tune and jumping this box, im willing to say id have better gains with this AEM intake over a stillen.

K&N sells a recharge kit at autozone for $23, I do mine whenever I do my oil twice a year. But I cut slits in my bumper so they get dirty pretty quick now.
