STILLEN Gen 3 Intakes Released!

Cuauhtli · 03-18-2009, 05:11 PM

I'll keep this product in mind for the future.

LiquidZ · 03-18-2009, 05:23 PM

I'm go with Gen 3's for all of my intake needs. I have been following the product for quite some time.

HustlerX5 · 03-18-2009, 10:58 PM

Shipped and should arrive by tommorow! I'll probably install tommorow too but I was hoping to get some before and after dynos...oh well, the mod bug bites hard I don't think I'll be able to wait to install once I have them in hand lol.

Forrest · 03-19-2009, 06:05 PM

i want to buy this so bad but im broke after paying for the z in cash. I have never seen such gains for just a intake before

m4a1mustang · 03-19-2009, 06:31 PM

Very nice! I'm interested to see the dyno results.

Any chance you guys will release a version for those of us who might not want that much bling? I'd probably opt for something like a flat black plastic over something shiny like that.

Or even a silver powdercoat might be nice but still less flashy. Like this:

Josh@STILLEN · 03-19-2009, 06:38 PM

The tubing is polished aluminum.. if you wanted to sand it down, you could take it to any local powdercoater and coat it whatever color you want. Or even a high-temp epoxy paint.. options are unlimited.

We have not seen the requests to change up color options, as you can imagine that can begin to affect inventory significantly, which in turn would increase the cost to you, which we've done what we can to reduce..

Just putting it out there.

Trust me, if anyone knows about the bottom line it's me... that's what my job is all about.

If you guys ever did build a black plastic one, though, I'd buy it.

semtex · 03-19-2009, 06:49 PM

Good points, Josh. I for one appreciate keeping costs reasonable.

Doesn't help when we have to build BOTH sides!

This intake has been submitted to CARB for emissions approval. It is currently CARB-Pending, but with our track record with intakes (and superchargers) we are confident of approval. What we don't know is how long the approval process will take.. that lies in the hands of CARB, who can sometimes take a while.

arcticreaver · 03-19-2009, 06:49 PM

important question that i have - i'm in CA, is this mod legal in CA?

Josh@STILLEN · 03-19-2009, 07:18 PM

Unfortunately yes.. It's a hurry-up-and-wait situation..

Josh@STILLEN · 03-19-2009, 08:04 PM

Hey.. I'm in marketing.. if it were up to me we'd have all kinds of options.. LOL

Musashi · 03-20-2009, 12:06 AM

Intake looks great and so do the gains, taking a dremel tool to my new car however.......
