New 370Z owner wanting info on Stillen G2

I'm surprised you were not able to find any information. There has been a lot of discussion on them. Most people consider short intakes a waste of money. They don't give much HP because of the high heat under the hood.

If I do the G3s are they easy to get to for cleaning? I guess I can do the oil cooler at the same time. Which cooler is best.

Very easy, just take the bumper off and they are there. The bumper removal takes maybe 10 minutes the first time you do it and goes downhill after that. Oil cooler I am not sure, do you plan to track the car or just spirited street driving?

I do alot of spirited street driving and have already seen temps up to 250, not sure if that is hurting anything or not. Or taking power away? I have read in that really long thread that some say they lost power with the G3, any truth to this?

Not sure anyone has, link to post?
I thought I was the only one who has lost power from a mod so far.

For street driving any good quality oil cooler will do fine for you then, Stillen has two currently, one larger for track and another slightly smaller.

Its the post on the G3 on the 1st page and it may be you that I saw with the losst power. So you are the only one so far? And the lose was from the G3s? I can feel the heat from the engine with the hood up and its hotter than from my old TT with the turbo heating things up. But man I love the way this car pulls. And sounds.

I lost power, but I do not have Stillen, I have Takeda SRI. I am buying something else Injen or Stillen but not sure which yet.
