The money isn't the issue, it's WASTING the money that's an issue. Stillen makes solid products & I dig their cat back setup with their HFCs. I just want some solid info, & between the shops and online I keep getting different opinions. Get a tune, don't get a tune, keep the stock headers & throw the ram air intakes away for a G3 CAI. I just want to do the right thing the first time. I'm COMPLETELY lost as to how stock boxes are better than what I've got as far as intake goes. I get the G3 is the best as far as CAI is concerned. If I want to swap that later, I can, it's the easiest mod to do. Right now I just wanna get the HFCs , exhaust, manifold, and oil cooler done. Keeping the stock headers like everyone says. I'll look into the berk products now, I've already had the Stillen parts on hold at the shop ( they had it in stock ) and I don't wanna be a **** and change everything tomorrow when I go to pay for everything. I've already switched from a Stillen oil cooler to the Z1 oil cooler as well as the Z1 manifold instead of the M370. I really appreciate everyone's advice, I guess I'll be on here all night going over everything again.
Ok, let's talk intakes.
The goal is the coldest most O2 dense air.

The K&Ns dyno high because the good is open. In the real world with the hood closed, the heat from the engine, which is immense, is trapped under the hood. This then heats the air going into the intakes. That is why a lot of us call them WAIs, warm air intakes.
The stock boxes have ducts that pull air from in front of the radiator, outside the engine bay, which keeps inlet air temps down compared to the K&N typhoon. We suggest adding K&N panel filters for less resistance and sometimes "post MAF tubes" to replace the accordion hoses leading to the engine to combat turbulent air. (The smoother the airflow, the faster the air FLOWS)
The G3 does everything, it moves the cone/filter out of the engine bay, in front of everything, and the airflow is as smooth as possible.



That is why K&N Typhoon<Stock<stock with upgraded filters+pos MAFs<G3
