I'm no expert, I've never cut the core support to accommodate the pipes.. I've got an '04 G35.. my experience is just with that install, but I've seen some good results with some of the hand tools that are out there.. who knew it was partially due to the accessories they are driving, not just the unit itself. ECU is quick, but we advise those doing the back to back dynos that we typically see full results within 7-8 dyno runs, when most places like to run 3 for consistancy. So as long as you've gotten a chance to let it run through the RPM band in a couple of gears for a good amount of runs, the ECU will be right there. Love the sound of those intakes once it seems to hit it's sweet spot around 5,500 RPM and above.. sounds angry.. and even more so on the dyno when you're standing in a spot outside the car you wouldn't normally have access too.. |

You can pm Josh (or any of the other vendor that sells STILLEN G3 intake).
wow.. the sound combination of STILLEN G3 and HKS exhaust is actually something you MUST hear in person! Today I was in a indoor parking building and I saw an opportunity and floored the Z in first gear. Lets just say I was like this -- . It sounded SICK!!! Aggressive and exotic I really don't want to go back to the previous dyno shop where he had a bit of trouble dynoing my car (won't go after 6500 RPM, tach kept bounching etc) but he has my base dyno. I'll see if I can stop by there sometime next week. I can def feel some extra HP in all RPM.

So, I retorqued all the bolts holding the piping today. Also, tightened the STRUT Tower bar with proper tq number. Our manual suggests 38 ft/lbs of tq.
Then I went for a drive

Another example is while installing my turbo kit one of the intercooler pipes bolts to the upper oil pan. It should be just a plain hole with threads that isn't being used. Well my car had it holding a bracket for some reason. When i went to the dealership looked at the cars they had and none of them had but yet mine did, lol Great job AK Frank |

I broke a bolt this weekend during install (specific bolt is in the pic below, it's the bolt that holds the passenger side rubber/plastic piece onto the top of the engine).
1) I am dumb, what are these parts known as so I can describe it to a dealer. It's the rubber/plastic piece that clamps onto the intake tube on the passenger side... I don't know what function it serves. 2) Anyone have a recommendation for finding bolt replacements? Dealer? Hardware store/Home Depot? |

Awesome job!! Does an aftermarket intake setup void the warranty in any way? How about performance, can ya feel any improved throttle respone n such?

^^ mythic, if the dealer can prove or hypothesize in any way that your after market parts are the cause of any problems then the issue will not be fixed under factory warranty. You may be able to fight this, as the aftermarket parts MUST be the cause for the dealer to void that part of the warranty.
And yes, there is a noticeable change in the power delivery. As you gain a good bit of HP on the top end, and loose a few down low. I over sized my passenger hole, and my intake loosely fits. I fab'd a bracket to the bolt location right next to the tube, and then later took it off. I need to come up with a better solution before i cause any damage from vibration, could already be to late.
