Just a head's up: No respect or miscommunication. The Stillen Gen 2 Intake does not work... I had that very same intake on my car. Specialty Z Dyno'ed my car with stock and the Gen 2 Stillens... with the Gen`2 I lost 10Hp, once I replaced my stock with K&N Drop-in filters I made 10hp.. I would try and get rid of it if you can! (The reason pointed out to me by my mechanic is the design collects heat from the engine bay... Those external shields do not bounce enough of the heat back into the bay. You are basically snorkeling hot air into your engine bay)

I dont feel like i'm losing power. I'm getting tuning done soon but dyno'd 306 whp before tuning.so i dont think i'm losing any power.

Dont take this the wrong way but you should post this in a thread about the stillen G2 intakes so there can be a discussion (i dont want that discussion in here lol)

Yeah next season. I figured there was no point in upgrading now with summer being over and spending an a$$ load of money on the car with all the other stuff i did so i just painted the stockies black gloss for now.

I have my eye on a few different wheels though
