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.

Yeah, All I said is the longtubes like the Stillen are making the most power. So far this has been the case over and over so the criticism, as you call it, isnt unfounded. Just remember its not personal. I have nothing against being proven wrong in fact I welcome it.

I don't see what I said that may have made me seem arrogant here, I just wrote my opinion about non-CAI intakes on this car. I think power on this car is HUGELY affected by temperatures, intake temps included. Not because the car is unsafe with hotter air, but because the ECU has been programed to keep a wide margin of safety when higher temps are detected.

If the R2C produces good results, then awesome, add it to the list of good intakes for the car, I dont see why we have to do this on every damn thread..can't say anything anymore without someone getting offended.

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.

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.

mine ships out tomorrow...and we'll see what happens

I'll post massive pics and vids
and hopefully someone else on that board will dyno run them

I'm not offended at all, in fact not much offends me. That said, I think since you know nothing about them calling them a waste of time is a bit premature. That's all, nothing personal RCZ, I know you've been very helpful here.

Besides these threads would be boring without some give and take. :stirthepot:

Agreed and not to beat a dead horse, but all I needed to know about them was that they weren't CAI's to make my judgement since it was based on my belief about the intake temperatures.

My apologies if I sound arrogant/disrespectful at times, I just don't care to tip toe around a possible argument these days, I don't have the energy to be coy, nor do I care about what random people who have been on the forums for a week and don't contribute anything of value think about me. (not speaking of anyone in specific). When people do know what they are talking about and contribute, then I sit and listen to see if I can learn something new.

So now you know my opinion. Now I keep an eye on this and see how it turns out.

Good luck, post graphs whoever gets it. Remember to drive the car at least 5 miles or 15 minutes or do like 6-8 dyno runs before you test out the new intake. Otherwise you are NOT going to get accurate results.
