You had to be drenched. That place is wetter than a water park.

Of course youre going to install your intakes, you cant pay someone to do that. You just use a screwdriver.

At the rate some of these bastards charge, might be a coin flip to which is cheaper, lol.

nogoodname 08-09-2009 12:16 AM

kdo2milger 08-09-2009 12:18 AM

Did they tell you how long the install would be? I got quoted $350 to install a catback. I told em to go pound sand and eventually did it myself

nogoodname 08-09-2009 12:22 AM

So any more updates on this r2d2 intake? any independent dyno test data?? I'm very interested if it even comes close to the g3 gains without any of the drawbacks.

I have been talking to the guys there as I know we have some interested people here. They were supposed to have a 370 there last week, but due to bad weather the guy couldn't come. Once the Z actually gets there they will know the same day (one hour I was told) whether it fits the same as the G37 or not. I will be sure to let you all know when he e-mails me this week. (hopefully)

Pushing_Tin 08-09-2009 10:55 PM

Maybe I should start another thread, but how many of you are interested in this intake? I have encouraged a group buy, as well as them becoming a sponsor here.

RCZ 08-09-2009 11:20 PM

not to sound like a douche but so far all other intakes I've seen produce about 1/5 the power that the Stillen G3's produce. What I'm trying to say is, if you care about performance, anything other than the G3s are a waste of time.

I can see you are a Stillen fan, that's cool, but keep an open mind.

tbonesteak 08-10-2009 12:50 AM

Yeah, IF and a big one at that, this intake can even produce 75% of the hp that the G3 does, i will be all over it. It takes away all the drawbacks of the g3 while yielding good enough gains. Tin, please keep us posted. Thanks.

does it really take that long for you to install a exhaust with more than 1 person?

Hilarious, again.....no comments on the DYNO THAT WAS ALREADY POSTED?? :confused:

RCZ 08-11-2009 12:59 PM

I don't care about the dyno sheet of a G37 with I dont know what mods (says stillen, but I dont know which stillen) on a dynojet which reads very very high. I dont know what the baseline run was, for all I know it might have been 279hp baseline, those dyno's read very high.

TheDreamer just posted up his dyno with these intakes and it made 0 power on a 370Z on the same dyno as his previous run.

I understand if you feel insulted and all and your problem is you are taking this personally when this clearly does not reflect on you personally. This is about intakes that either make or don't make power. I bought a set of JWT's first and they made no power which is why I sold them to try something different. Turned out the Stillen made a ton of power. Since then I have seen several different designs pass through here and it seems that only the longtube versions are producing worthwhile gains.

I'm not going to get into a personal issue here, you can keep that for yourself. And no, writing your comments in caps aren't going to trigger some sort of emotional backlash from me. And yes I am a fan, I am a fan of products that work.

nogoodname 08-11-2009 01:07 PM

Oiled filters are a no go for me. Unlike the Z where the filters are tucked in for the Gen3, they are right up to the front grille, who in the right mind would want filters right there for daily driving. Dust, pollen and shit will make the filters annoying to clean and re oil too. Not worth having to remove the bumper all the time and/or the rad cover.
