This is the intake I will be buying as well.

Still waiting on clips and combo. dyno!

So, looking at the installation instructions for the G37 version, you have to remove the entire front fascia to install this. One would have to remove the front fascia just to clean the filters, wouldn't they? Sounds like a bit of PITA to me.

You don't have to from the research I did. PM sent

Ok had to re-read the forum rules so I think this is ok since its related.

Help Shoudl I buy Stillen 3rd Gen intakes? - Page 2 - MyG37

Intake help - Page 2 - MyG37

In here you will see someone state that you don't have to remove it with help also you see how highly recommended it is. The Injen was like the first for the G37 so alot of people hopped on it. Then it was JWT PoPcharger which is comparable but over 95db the new concensus from what I gather is that everyone recommends the Stillen Now even if they have another already installed.

^^ Thx for the tip!

Nismo or Stillen? concerned about warranty?
 

I'm thinking of adding the Stillen cat back exhaust and intakes, but I believe this voids the Nissan warranty. Doesn't this bother anyone, especially on a first year release? It is OK to add the Nismo parts (i.e. cat back), as the warranty will still be in effect. How's the Nismo versus others? I'm not looking to race here, I just want a better sound and if performance comes too, all the better.

thanks for your insight!

It doesn't void the warranty.. but they aren't going to warranty that part you've added (which is why we have a limited lifetime warranty). We actually sell a lot of exhausts and intakes to dealerships for installation both for current customers, and new cars for sale.

It's very possible at most dealerships to get a STILLEN outfitted Z. We have a great relationship with Nissan.

Speaking of the exhaust, we received the first production piece and retested the fitment after all of the jigs and production setup has been completed, and everything is perfect. We'll be shipping these kits before the end of the week.

I'll hopefully have video clips soon, but just with a crappy point and shoot, but should give you a good idea. Look for additional pictures and pricing on that tomorrow at the latest.

Intakes are being finalized as well, as I have more info I'll get it to you guys ASAP.

I can Vouch for Josh here. I work at Harbor Nissan in our performance dept. And I also own a 370z myself. I have a set of Headers from Stillen I am going to install and I am looking foward to these intakes. Josh When these come out Let me know, I just could not swing the exhaust at this time. I know Brad has been talking to Kyle and we are very excited about this new intake.

So Nissan will not warranty a Part from Stillen, But Stillen will. And dealing with Stillen first hand as a customer and a Vendor I give them 2 thumbs up!!!

And if your dealer is giving you issues about your Mods bring your car to me, I take care of 90% of the Z's that come in the door being a past 350z owner and a 370z owner now.

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate you guys being here supporting the370z.com members.. it's nice to have dealer support.

If you guys didn't see the previous post, we released a video of the 370Z exhaust so you can get a feel for the sound vs. stock.

Here is the pricing info: STILLEN 370Z Product Page

Josh how is the G3 coming along? I see the G2 for 370z on the stillen site.

Very nicely! They are finalizing the jigs and such for production. Should be about 2-3 weeks until shipping..

if the filter put right behide the gill...what if it's raining? or washing the car? isn't the filter will get wet?

Absolutely nothing will happen if the filter gets a little wet.

It also comes with a shield that protects the front so that it doesn't get doused when it's raining.

i see, thanks guys, because im worried(if one day i get this car) when i take my car to car wash, and i see they shoot some much water in it..i wonder if the water will get all over the filter..

Here's a pic from Stillen showing their intake on a G37. You can sorta see where the shield is (but it's a little hard to see because they've got some special transparency effect going on).

Here's another pic of the setup:

My primary practical concern about these is: how hard is it going to be to service the K&N filters? If the answer is remove the bumper again for filter service, I'd have to pass on that.

^ Yeah, I've been wondering about that as well. But you don't actually have to remove the front fascia to install this, I've read. You just have to go up from under the car, which means you'd have to remove all the underpanels.

Stillen has headers out that will fit the 370Z?

that's still going to be pain in the *** to do...is it very different than the G2 in performance and the sound? because i only cares about the intake sounds...

sooo..has anyone got one yet>

Well I have to admit it sounds nice. Raspy and loud. Hopefully the Z would be louder and deeper if possible.

It's not released yet.

Looking at the G37, it would be sweet if those filters extended down to the fog light holes. I would open the bumper there to get even colder air from that point, and not have the filters directly in front of the radiator. It would also make servicing the filters a LOT easier.

I know most people wouldn't want to sacrifice their fog light mounts for the sake of an intake system, but I sure would!

I'm not sure I'd want them that low. It'd significantly increase the risk of hydro-lock if you have to drive through deep water in a heavy rainstorm or something. Considering how low these cars are to the ground already, I'd be really nervous if my intakes were that low to the ground. Just my :twocents:

My brother's R-18 civic had a CAI that extended that low before I installed the turbo. I completely understand your point, but my Z won't be going out in that kind of weather, and if I had a G37 it would be the same way. So in my case it would be a one-off design...lol

my current 06 accord intake goes all the way down inside the bumper and ive gone through deeper puddles than you would probably want to and i havent had a single problem, you just don't accelerate any and there will be minimal air sucking through the intake. and these are located behind the front emblem so i would vote there is no way water is getting that high anyway unless your driving through a flood which your screwed either way... because your driving through a FLOOD lol

I think maybe you mis-read his post. He's talking about locating them down in the little 'holes' next to the 'fangs'. (He'd have to punch out the little plastic panels there.) It's that idea that I was expressing my reservations about hydro-lock over, not the location of behind the emblem. But either way, I agree that the risk is minimal, depending on the area you live in and the conditions you drive through.

o gotcha, hes talking about location them somewhere different than they would come normally lol, either way they look awesome i will definently be getting these when they come out assuming i end up with the Z

We like to keep the filters as high off the ground as possible. Many people believe that the lower or closer to the ground you can get the filter the better. The problem is that as you get closer to the ground you are in fact pulling warmer air. The air closest to the ground is heated by the asphalt. You would be amazed at the differences in air temperature as you get higher off the ground.

Also, the closer you get to the ground the more likely you are to catch road debris, dirt, and of course your chances of hydro-locking increase as well.

You know, I never even thought about all the heat that comes up off of asphalt!

I didn't either...good point!

So any update on the expected release date/pricing?

any minute.. :) Look for the release very soon..

Excellent! Looking forward to it.

I have my credit card ready.

Your not the only one!!!!!:ughdance::ughdance::ughdance:

Game on guys!
