I agree, I just cannot understand why.....UNLESS they are doing it for the sound and if they rev up that high all the time.

But use the 300 bucks you saved by getting the hoses and K&N filters and apply it towards stillen sways or swift springs.

To be fair(ish), the stillen CAI will yield a few more whp peak, so if someone is looking to have the absoulute highest dyno #'s they possibly can, while not really worrying about little to no midrange gains, then the Stillen CAI is what the doctor ordered.

Chris, I need to give you a call so you can steer me right, I know I wouldnt drive my Z that hard, to where Im shifting at 6800 rpms.. so you're route sounds feasible.
