So just wanted to share. I completed the installation of Stillen HFC and AEM NISMO Long Tube CAI over the weekend. First off, both products arrived quickly, came with detailed instructions and particularly with the AEM CAI - those folks thought of every detail and had a part, extender or gizmo to make the kit fit.
Using my seat of the pants "dyno" I have to say the car feels like a completely different beast. I get wheel spin rolling on the accelerator from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear now. Traction control needs to stay on unless I'm trying to play a bit.
Stock NISMO exhaust but the High Flow Cats give it the perfect level of sound now and when I added the CAI the next day, now I have rumble in the back and whooshing on hard acceleration in the front.
In total about $800 in upgrades. No Check Engine or other problems so far and did I mention the acceleration? Crazy fast feeling now - really, like a different car.
