Stillen G3. No chance of water ingestion (unless you drive into the ocean) has been proven time after time to give the best gains, sounds and looks great, very good quality. Also I think if you buy them from Z1 you can have them powder coated in what ever color you want.

I would also agree about the G3, but I would also suggest doing a search for all of those intakes on this forum and you will find a wealth of information enough to make up your own mind. Also this same topic has come up numerous times so that information is there, you just have to do some work and do some research of your own. But, good luck and G3 is normally what everyone recommends.

I did a lot of research, but the stillen does indeed beat out all the others. If you don't want to go the long tube route then K&N drop-ins with post maf tubes is the best and cheapest way to go, though you supposedly will not get the power at the top of the RPM range like the stillen provides.

Everybody says Stillen is better by miles, but I disagree. If it is better than the Injens, it's only by a very small amount.
There's a lot of Stillen kool aid on this forum. And a lot of fearmongering about the rare cases of hardship with the Injens. Just do your own research and don't believe the incredible and top-heavy pile of hype. Last edited by shadoquad; 07-23-2011 at 05:19 PM. |

In fact, if you want more detailed information on the "problem" with Injen, read this thread, which also discusses easy and cheap fixes.
anyone else having rain issues with injen cold air? |

It's also been proven to show the best gains on modified cars as well, those are facts not kool-aid.

If you can find the G3's used, go for it, otherwise, I'd recommend going with the alternative I noted.

Stillen Gen3 >> Injen. Why change out the windshield washer reservoir? Why chance a potential water problem because the filters are placed too low? Why buy a product only to have to do a "fix", no matter how cheap, to solve a problem you don't need?
