Lets talk science, Stillen Gen3 Intake

synolimit · 10-31-2013, 05:22 PM

I'm going with smoother pipe and a better filter. I'm not going with colder air! The stock intake already is basically a CAI with a nice opening in the front end and it doesn't have the bends the Stillen does. I'm also not going colder air because the aluminium pipe gets HOT! While the plastic and rubber pipes stay cooler.

My CAI I made is almost all silicone pipe. Id put it up against the Stillen and say I make more. Specially on the 3rd pull of a dyno where the Stillen will become heat soaked.

Anyone have a dyno sheet showing 1-3 pulls and is the 3rd lower than 2 or maybe 1?

Agree & the stock intakes get the fresh/cool outside air that is forced by pressure from under the car. Hard to beat the stock intakes w K/N dry filters.
