Stay away from Takeda. Their SRI setup actually lowers performance because of the design. It ends up extracting air from the already hot engine bay. Injen's intakes are theoretically better. They are long and gradually curve, offering better air flow. The Stillen G3's are evenly matched, but I wasn't impressed by the complete package.
Keep in mind with either intake you won't notice any performance increase until close to 7k RPM. Just do a search on here to pull up some dyno sheets.

Agrees with Second post they have issues with MAF from what I've read.
Stillen makes A SOLID product for V6's in my opinion I'd go with that but the injen and stllen are so close!

Now you do realize that the stock intakes are CAIs. They just dont look real bling bling like. So with some drop ins, good for about 5 hp, you get about as much gains as the long tubes for a 1/10th of the price. just no bling. If you want bling then any long tubes will be ok but for $500.

except for the washer fluid relocation... BTW, G3's make the most gains if you're a power whore

It's technically not a relo, you just replace the gargantuan washer fluid bottle with the smaller one that's included with the kit.
Though I will admit those brackets were a pain in the arse.

I have the Stillen G3 and I couldn't be happier. A lot of the folks who are making the biggest power on bolt-on mods are running Stillens. Take a look at this guy: Full Stillen Bolt Ons + Berk Cats and UpRev Tune Results...

Takeda - Cheapest, lowest results Injen - Midline in cost, good results, needs a washer fluid tank swap Stillen - Higher end cost, higher gains, needs front end fabrication Top Secret - Ridiculously overpriced, SRI, higher gains than Stillen (Somehow )
