Happy,

I believe Stillen says that these produce 8 to 12 whp. These were my second mod I did (June 2010), the first being the oil cooler. They definitely improved throttle response and sound. I did not want to go with the Gen 3 because I did not want to take my bumper on and off to inspect/clean air filters.

Hindsight being what it is -- I would go with the Gen 3 if I was doing it again. The bumper on/off process is easy and quick.

onzedge, props to you for being dedicated on a sunday night ;) I was dedicated Sunday morning :) Nice job on the detail. I am usually not a fan of the fairlady emblem, but looks great on yours!!!

For me today, up at 6 to give her a full wash, then waxed her with Pinnacle Signature Series II.... something different to mix it up. I am already looking forward to driving her to work tomorrow.

I like the thought of not having to remove the front bumper nor cutting through part of my frame. Plus the risk of cutting ac lines.

no real gains tho. HPS tubes over them for sure, at least when factoring in price.

Here are a couple of shots from C&C yesterday and a link to my photobucket album of the day.

Our new friends from Fredricksburg's immaculate BC roadster. It was great meeting you both!!!

Hey Russ, great meeting you and Karen yesterday. It was our first time down there and Laura and I were really impressed. Jose and Sam were terrific hosts. Some great cars also, including that M6 and that nice Speedster in the back. We are looking forward to getting down there on a regular basis.

Personally I'd probably take the risk on putting in the R2C intakes before installing the Stillen Gen 2. Otherwise I'd do the drop ins for stock placement or G3 style.

Eh... To be honest, I am really happy with the oem boxes. My wix drop-ins are great. Not sure if the $$$ is worth the minimal gains.

It's one of those I'd be happy with or without aftermarket intakes.

actually the R2C intakes were great. their while filters breath like crazy too. i had them in the past on my Z and it made the car very responsive. the thing about these intakes is they make the engine pretty loud so that was the only reason i went back to the stock boxes + HPS + K&N drop-ins. then i realized how less responsive my car is now. :D hahaha. but it's okay, for now i'll take the quieter redlines. :p
