Definitely need to stop by Lowes for the long haul and for peace of mind.

I work on aircraft too! and I'm in the army! I work on UAV's specifically lol :tup:

Oh and +1 to you Darkaeon!

Sorry to hear about your problem; thank you so much for sharing. You definitely saved me money and a headache in the future! :tup:

serious!













































not!

Thanks Darkaeon, for the heads up, I will keep this in mind when I my order my set very soon and thanks Kdo will try something like that when the time comes..

buy pipe insulators, like the black foam stuff........ this issue is quite common to the G35 peeps, the repair cost came out of peeps pocket. dealership denied warranty on it and aftermarket companies did not pay up either.......

regular foam pipe insulator isnt going to last long...

I had a similar problem on my turbo Mazda. I fixed it by cutting up a section of heater hose and zip tying it around the areas that rub. If you can't see the area this is a great fix - will cost you about $2 and last for years. If you can see it though you'll have to live with it looking pretty ghetto.

On my racecar, I constantly have vibrations, and stuff contacting other stuff. What I use, is this stuff called "rainbow packing" which is a gasket material used in the plumbing industry. It is readily available at Home Depot, comes in a ~5x5 inch orange square, is cheap and works great. I use zip ties to hold it onto the various hoses etc. It is a dissappointment to hear these issues.

Well I am glad at the least I was able to bring this to other peoples attention before it became a problem for them. Unfortunately Im gonna learn the hard way to the tune of $350+ dollars...lol! Oh well, I sent the pix to Stillen anyways just to hope that maybe it will help some how.

Yeah let us know how that conversation with stillen goes...I have had 2 discussions with them about issues with the intake and i can some up their end of the conversation in one word....DISINTEREST......

oh but you need to buy our exhaust was the next words out of their mouths.

Good luck and again thanks for the info....AND YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!!! :tiphat:

at the least they can put a warning notice on their instructions for future customers so others don't go through this experience and expense.

Yeah, thanks for sharing this, I'm sure it will save a lot of people headaches & money :tup:
