Anyone have stillen gen3 intake regrets?

Roddy1 · 06-02-2014, 11:00 AM

Dollar for Dollar and bang for the buck, I've heard that K&N drops ins do everything the G3's do except for about 3hp and some noise. But I dont have any dyno sheets or personal experience on my own car to back this up only a friend who did these mods and stated he couldnt not feel a difference on the butt dyno. I rode in his car also, they sound louder but thats it. You decide; $75 on a pair of drop ins or a couple hundred for the G3's.

I hope everyone's answer is "no regrets"! I install mine today. It looks nice and always had good luck with Stillen products on my Frontier. The exhaust for the Z is perfect IMO.

I don't know if there's any consensus as to how much the drop ins give you. I got them and I don't know if I could notice any gains with my butt dyno. If anyone here is able to feel what 3-5 hp feels like then hats off to them, I sure as hell can't. I certainly didn't feel any losses.

Dyno proven 5hp for K&N drop ins 1-2hp more with the post MAF tubes.

G3's I beleive I have seen about a 9hp gain.

ive also heard that running jet fuel in your car makes it faster, but we all know thats not 100% true

drop in filters do not add power, if you gain any power, its from you going from a dirty filter to a clean one, all drop in filters are good for are not having to replace your air filter as often and you can clean it instead of replacing it

My only regret is I don't have the Stillen G3 intake.

K&N Air Filters Added to Stock Air Boxes??

Sure looks like it adds power.

Chuck I dig the fact that when you argue with some one you always bring links to the facts to back up your point.

My only regret is not doing it sooner!
Actually the only pain I see is having to remove your bumper to clean the filters.

From my understanding, you do not have to clean the Stillen G3 CAI filters. Hence, no need to remove the bumper again.

I'm not sure where u heard or read this, but these filters do require cleaning....K&N recommends cleaning the filters every 50K miles....

Request who this said person is and proof so we can take that post down as to never have this conversation again.

They do add power in a 370z my friend. Not so for many other vehicles though.
