STILLEN Gen 3 Intakes Released!
 

Well after much anticipation, we've finally released the STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Intake System for the 370Z...

I now know why it's been labeled everything from Gen 3, G3, 3G, etc etc.. too long of a name to type.. :)

STILLEN Gen 3 Intake Release

The final pieces are coming in from the machine shop tomorrow, we'll be shipping as many as we can then, with a steady production stream from there.

Those that want the first sets should order ASAP: STILLEN Gen 3 Product Page

We have been working with a forum member to arrange independent testing, and feel confident he will give you unbiased results, especially since he's purchased another intake even after our discussions, and is interested in testing them independently.

But enough blah blah.. here's an image of the final production version of the 370Z Intake:

And a rough depiction of the path it follows along the intake tract:

We look forward to member feedback, and have just begun our development for the 370Z, as we have done for over 20 years catering to the Z community, even when sometimes they didn't quite look like your average Z.. case in point..

Rock on!!!!

niiiice!

siiickkk. +17 hp!!! very nice

can't wait for feedback!

looks nice on the z

cant wait to see the gain on the dyno

and thanks for 300zx pic :tup:

Can't wait to see the dyno results for this!!

Thanks for getting this out the door so quickly Stillen :tup:

Now that you've got a final product, can you comment officially and more specifically on a couple of points?

(1) On the 370Z, is filter removal basically going to be a matter of removing a panel from the underside of the front of the car? In the photos they look a bit high up to reach from there, but it's hard for me to picture exactly how the removal/reinstall of the filters would go without seeing it installed in person.

(2) Without a center support (or any support that I can see aside from where it attaches at the TB) like the splash shield on the G37 version, I imagine the tubes are going to bounce around a bit more. Would it make sense perhaps, after enlarging the holes for the tubes to pass through, to apply some weatherstrip or something to the edges of the holes to keep the tubes from beating themselves up on it and/or clanging around?

in January.....i said maybe 2-3 months til it's out....... i guessed right.....lol..
higher HP gain than the G's....nice

Ordered. :excited:

Nice bud! I can't wait to see the results :yum:

Very good news! I hope to see some independent dyno results soon, after which I'll be ordering mine. My Z is still about a month or two away so I have time.

Gen 3's are definitely top notch designed intakes!

got them on my G and got some nice power out of them. not a whole lot of torque...but you gotta think of it that some intakes you actually loose torque so to even gain a little is a plus.

before and after dyno's were as follows (car already had Berk HFC):

Only with Berk HFC: 253.6whp/229.9wtq
Berk HFC + Stillen Gen. 3= 266.6whp/233.4wtq

anyone who asks for this exact dyno sheet, i didn't load it up...but you can check out here and see my before and after dyno with the Gen 3's and the Cobb AP: Cobb AccessPort & Stillen Gen. 3's on there way...dynos to follow. - MyG37

:tup: to Stillen!

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

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

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.

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

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:

http://www.aempower.com/images/categ...a50caca535.jpg

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..

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

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

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.

hehe that was fast Josh!!! normally how long does it take for CARB approval? months?

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

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. :tup:

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

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

:)

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

yeah... dremel to new car has me leary heheh. Also, does the bumper have to come off to clean/change the filters later?

INSTALLLED!

As of yesterday! as far as how difficult it was to install i'd say about a 7 out of 10, and that's only because i had to hack into the core support (very minor might i add) in order to get the pipes to fit. but other than that install was very straight forward and took exactly an hour, and that's only because i screwed up on a couple of things and had to go back and correct them....hehe. Anywho performance wise i feel a noticeable pull when the temp of the car is between about 150ish to a bit above 180, but as soon as it goes above 200 it's not as noticeable at all. Now keep in mind this is my butt dyno so i could be completely wrong but oh well i guess we'll have to wait until independent dynos become available. (such as mr. denny who we're all waiting for lol.)

Wow, and you still have yet to get the one done for the 350Z. Stillen is starting to get on peoples nerves.

I will have dyno results of this intake by next saturday afternoon.

^^ Didn't you already post this yesterday?

Sorry about missing these:

1. Yes, removal of the fascia would be necessary to gain access to the filters to remove them for cleaning. That being said, K&N recommends cleaning them every 50,000 - 100,000 miles.. so this isn't going to happen a lot. Also, once you remove the fascia once, you'll be able to do it again in a quarter of the time.

2. The support was necessary on the G37 to attach the splash shield, not to support the pipes/filters. They will not be 'clanging around'. Adding weatherstripping will not hurt anything.

Actually I posted at 9:12 am and then it reposted 10 minutes later.....I have no idea how that happened though.

Awesome! My Z arrives this weekend. Will definitely be ordering soon. Then it's on to the exhaust.

where's denny and his dyno at?

Great, thanks for the info. I think this will be my next step, once I get my upper O2 sensors back in and get my car back in town :)

That's kind of funny, almost a back handed compliment.

Our products are in such high demand that we're struggling to keep up with it. That's great news!!! Thanks!

Seriously though, these things take time and vehicle's. We have been fortunate enough to have access to a long-term G37 test vehicle and we leveraged our strong relationship with NISSAN to get a pre-production vehicle for a few weeks for testing on this intake.

If we had access to an 07+ 350Z we would be able to work on the intakes for those vehicle's as well.

One thing to keep in mind is the extensive testing we do on our products. The Gen. 3 G37 intake took 6 months of R&D work and testing before it was finalized. The Z was obviously faster and easier due to the bulk of the R&D work being done on the G but it still took time. We haven't had access to an 07+ Z for more than a couple of days at a time and that is nowhere near long enough to develop a part.

At the end of the day, I would much rather have people upset with us because we haven't been able to finalize development on a product they want than be irritated at us for ANY other reason...That seems like a pretty good problem to have in my opinion.:tup:
