I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on my first mod ”intakes

Hi,
I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on my first mod ”intakes “it came down to these two.

1. STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Intake.

I don’t like the idea of, cutting, enlarging stock parts, and having possible issues down the road with AC lines, and taking off the fascia off and on to get at the filters,
That also means adding two hours for the install at the dealers for labor to the price tag! As I’m not handy or have the tools and I don’t trust local shops to do the work, the few I talked to didn’t even know what a Stillen G3 intake was, or have ever installed one. That being said the gains are impressive and I haven’t ruled it out yet!

2. HKS Racing Suction Reloaded intake systems.

I like the fact these are drop in’s no mods to the car, makes life easier for resale or trade in and any possible warranty issues down the road ! As I can swap out the parts to a newer car and replace the original parts back to stock.
I also like the way the HKS look esthetically, they sound good as well . I do plan on installing HKS Hi-Power Exhaust on the car!
That being said, they cost more than the Stillen’s G3 , not a big deal but nowhere on the internet can I find any test results on the possible performance gains?

I ‘m new at this and would appreciate hearing from you guys that have been down this road for advice.

Thanks,

Alex
