Just wanted to give you a heads up, the Stillen Gen 2 takes away 10+hp from your power. I purchased and ran this intake for close to 2 years. When I finally Dynotuned my car, the technician notes the power loss. We removed the Gen2 and installed the OEM intake. To our dismay 10+ horsepower right back where it was supposed to be. I highly recommend switching to gen3 or a CAI like AEM. This particular model absorbs heat from the engine bay, causing the intakes to choke the engine of much needed cool air.

Just a suggestion, all the best!!

Thanks for the heads up Jason. I had heard it did nothing but sound different, and at worst take power.
The Gen 3 Intake is coming soon. The car was dinoed before I bought it and some time in the last month - makes the same power ... so what I'm guessing is the air was cool enough to not take away anything.
I'm trying to look for my sheets now - I'll post them if I find them.

Thanks for the heads up though.
