DIY: STILLEN G3 Intakes

Mike · 09-07-2009, 09:18 AM

one little thing to add,
wipe down all the polished pipes with rubbing alcohol after the install to get any fingerprints off. Otherwise, once they heat up, they will be come permanent.

I powdercoated mine black chrome instead though for a different look.

you could do that or do what i seen 2 girls in the injen video do, leave the plastic wraping on during the install, then once finished, cut it off.

Thanks for the replies guys, its my first DIY so i didnt know if i was going to get flamed or what..lol.

I doubt anyone would try to flame anyone for doing a DIY; something that helps the community. And with that said, I just went ahead and ordered my Stillen Gen 3 CAI

That only saves you finger prints - won't do anything for scratches.

Stainless Steel scratches easily. But, it also polishes easily.

i said the wrap will save you from finger prints, i said in my DIY posts be careful not to scratch it.

Can somebody please help me out, I have a hard time try to remove those two parts on the stock intake. I don't know if I should just yank them out or what. Please tell me what tool I need to use and how to get them off the right way. thank you.
