Is the Stillen G3 Intakes really that good?

I'd buy them used if you buy them at all.

You'll come very close at a fraction of the price (and considerably greater ease of installation and cleaning) with smooth tubes plus high flow panel filters.

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.

Hold on to your bills. The z35 will have the VDETT.

They make a great sound so you will use more gas just to hear them. I love mine.
