My shop, who is currently installing this Air to Air kit now have had issues with its fitment as well, saying, "It's a very DYI kit. Far from professional and not great to install properly".
However I believe it will be a big improvement over the stock Stillen kit. Just saying... |

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes, this kit is made to be an affordable way to greatly improve the flaws in the stillen kit and enables it to put a ton more power down while improving safety and responsiveness.
I do make these kits in a garage and am a 1 man team. The kits you purchase from major manufacturers had a team of engineers and countless hours of time invested into them utilizing cad and other tools. And, even those kits still come with issues. I made these to help the community with a problem that had surfaced, not to make a big profit. However, anyone who has installed the kit, given the minor issues here and there, have a smile from ear to ear when they are done. I would like to point out that I have made a permanent change in the design off the sc volute. It will be a 60* going into a 2.75" pipe from now on. This will get rid of the tweaking required to the 45* design. Id like to thank all the guys who have done a review here to help others along the way and glad I can help make your car feel like a whole new machine again.

Even though the brackets are cnc machined, it looks like the machinist was slightly off on a hole on each bracket. I have opened them up to allow clearance.

I want to absolutely thank you for making this kit available to the rest of us. You could've kept this custom kit to yourself, but you didn't. You made it a reality for some of us. Most especially those of us in remote areas like myself who do not have access to custom shops to get an A2A kit made/fabricated. If it wasn't for you I'd still be stuck on the basic Stillen kit. Besides the minor challenges during the install, this kit is definitely a win and was well worth it all after the install was done. To feel a difference just at highway cruising was surreal for me. And you're right....I did have a smile from ear to ear after the intall was done....LOL.... Again Thank you.

Topgunz - air to air upgrade
When we all started talking about this it seemed so easy that I decided to do it on my own, I was clearly out of my mind! Topgunz made this so simple that I wonder how many people understand it! I'm glad to see others appreciate what he has done to bring this kit to the Z community.

Grab box special!!! There's hundreds of dollars worth of couplers, pipes, filters, clamps, etc... In here. I'll let it all go for $75 plus s/h. That's a never used hks pod filter sitting on top alone. I'll throw in a set of oem pistons and rods with 1000 miles on them and a used south bend stage 3 disk for free...lol. I have too much stuff.

on the 2016
your crash bar will not fit. It may go on with some 2 inch spacers. i havent had time to take bumper back off and play with it.. Bumper went back on perfectly. Some had mention the fast int tow bar. Im just not spending $450 dollars on it. That will be my next project when i install engine oil cooler.
