You can re-install the stock intake without having to make something up.

what about Inejn's CAI? my car came with them on and they seem great (on the butt dyno). plus they are a true cold air system. simliar so stillens without the last curve no? plus they sound amazing!

if these things aren't good then someone needs to school me on why

Wondering this myself.

AAM also offers its own custom long tube CAI. I don't know what makes Stillen magically better than both.

I've heard the Injens may suffer hydrolock, but then again I don't go driving my Z in a foot of standing water.

idk how they would any more than a stillen...?

The positioning of the air filters. The Stillen one sits behind the bumper sort of, whereas the Injens are close to the ground.

Either way, I've not had a problem, and neither did the original owner of the Injens who I bought them from.

I tested the JWT pop chargers when they developed them. I lost power on the dyno because of heat soak. Went with Gen III's instead. Pop chargers are somewhere gathering dust now. Better airflow than stock boxes 6MT? Sure. But sucking in all the hot air under the hood = better off with stock boxes and a K&N drop in or CAI from Stillen.

:werd:

I installed these way back when and they made no power. No short ram intake will make any power on this car. Just get Stillen G3's.

What about the R2C intakes? I thought those made as much power as the G3's? I still haven't seen any dyno charts on this.... after all this time, and several other threads. Still no dyno charts. So what's the verdict?

I know at least 4 people in Socal that have had significant problems with Injen intakes taking up too much moisture even from the regular water spray off the road and causing problems ranging from poor drivability and stalling to the car not starting due to the water messing with the MAF sensors.

I have yet to hear of a single issue with the Stillen G3 intakes, which are still the king of peak power gains in terms of intakes.

Listen, Stillen just nailed it with the Gen III intake. Honestly you'd be wasting money on anything else or at least not getting the same gains.

wellll my car doesn't ever see rain so that shouldn't be a huge issue. what about the hp diff in the 2 intakes?

Bump for any info on R2C intake gains as well...

Maybe a couple wheel horsepower and torque on the dyno, but the ram air effect with the Stillen intake will be greater at speed due to higher amounts of air being pushed through the bumper/radiator area as opposed to the location of the Injens.

I haven't seen any intake air temperature data comparing the Injen and Stillen G3 intakes though so I'm not sure if there is a difference there.

Interesting. I've driven in heavy rain and had none of those problems with my Injen CAI's.
