actualy it did surprise me...usally intakes make 10hp or less and i dont notice any gain at all while driving. I guess its cause there is 2 intakes i notice a gain in my Z.

just a question, how can you get TRUE 330 wheel drive hp...
I mean, stock is 330hp at the crank, so should be 78-80% at the wheels: TRUE 250-260 hp at the wheel should be good.

How can you get more 80-90 hp at the crank with just exhaust, intake, ecu tuning???

Just wondering.

OEM exhaust is pretty stuffy, and the OEM air box design - while it flows pretty well, can be improved on with the larger design / less turbulence from the G3 intake.

And, it seems we're losing only about 15-20%.

Stock is 332 at the crank. I've got 330 whp right now (DynoJet). Review my list of mods as well as my entry in the members' gallery section.

Review my thread in the members' gallery. I believe my impressions are discussed there. If you have any questions after reviewing the posts, by all means post your question(s) there. (I just don't want to hijack this thread with a discussion about my car.)

i just installed mines today and i gotta say, fitment really sucks. stillen should have use the same cone shape filters that the g37's version have. it sounds better, but feels weaker.

The only fitment complaint I have (had?) is that the parts don't seem to line up exactly as you'd expect them to, but, I guess that's why there's clamps and hoses.

Oh, and the breather tube deally's should be longer and/or have a flare to them so you can actually cinch down the hose clamps and have them grab instead of just sliding off as you tighten them down =/
