Stillen HFC Install. Now or spring?

Brutal 370Z · 02-10-2013, 02:34 PM

Hey guys. Just got my Stillen HFCs in. I was wondering if I should have them installed now or wait until spring. Right now its pretty damn cold. I was wondering if it made a difference at all. What is the break-in period like for these? Thanks in advance for the opinions.

Ya I'm definitely going to the dealer to get them installed. But I was wondering if I should have them do it now or wait until spring? Does it make a difference to break them in while its cold vs. while the weather is turning?

Dude, what the temperature is when installed is completely irrelevant.....you are WAY over thinking it.

Dealership can't touch your cats if you are in the U.S. unless replaced by another true cat. On the Stillen HFC's, it says "For Off-Road Use only". It's illegal for anyone to replace emissions equipment in the U.S. unless its a performance shop where as everything they do is considered to be for "Off-road" use anyways. Either way, air temp does not matter.

Ok cool thanks guys. Ya definitely overthinking it haha. The dealer told me they can replace them no problem. Going to have it done in the next couple weeks.

Thats news to me. I was told by multiple exhaust shops and the dealer that they weren't allowed to replace it in Texas.
