Is the Stillen G3 Intakes really that good?

occarclub · 09-04-2014, 10:54 PM

I'm going to be getting my 370z within the next month for sure and now it's time to start planning on the mods! I have seen a lot of talk about the Stillen G3 Intakes. Is it really worth the hefty 500$ price tag that comes along with it? Are they hard to install (On your own)? IF you have them, what are your experiences with them? Thank you guys so much!

Just wait 'til another guy tells you to just put drop in's. Thats another good amount of reading for you.

Anyhoooooo. Just get the Stillen if you want intakes. Don't waste your time reading about it.

Hahahahahaaaa!!! I'm sorry I'm one of those guys bruh... Lol. I was a stillen intake junkie. But on this forum I read so many positives about drop ins with the silicone intake hose. With just that and a straight pipes. (No second res). I had torque increase throught the revs. About 6hp and 4lb of tq throughout the range. Doesn't sound like much but it increased my throttle response by 100%. So my Z is running like it gained 15/20hp. It helps to have larger gauge electrical wiring running from the transmission (ONLY WORKS ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS) And oil/transmission coolers. My Z's performance is much better than my 09 and my mods thus far are minimal I have this, stereo and suspension mods. Stillen gives an 18hp boost but @ 5200rpm you're losing Hp/tq from 0-4600rpm. This car doesn't have enough Tq to lose power in any rpm.

Have the money to FI it now but am waiting to see if I want the Z35 instead. If it comes stock with turbos? It will be cheaper to mod a nd more fun to drive my instinct tells me.

I concur with this statement.

You have to remember you're technically buying two intakes. I enjoyed my G3s for the short time I had them on my car. They had a noticeable improvement on throttle response, additional power, and sounded awesome. Much more than what I had expected for a CAI.
