Recommand Cold Air Intake
Hello guys
I'm looking for cold air between stillen gen 3 and greddy air intake. Which one should I get and give me a reason. What is the big difference and which one gain more HP and better airflow. Thanks |
Stillen G3

Whichever you feel like paying for. You really need to cut the radiator support to maximize airflow. It is a requirement on the Stillen G3 install and optional on the Greddy/Takeda Stage II. However I recommend you do the same for the Greddy/Takeda to maximize airflow. Otherwise stick with the stock boxes as you are restricting air more than maximizing. Also pick up the Takeda it is cheaper and their design. Greddy just bought the design so they can put their name on it. Thus you are paying higher price for the Greddy name.

If you have a dremel to make the holes bigger you are saving quite a bit of money if you buy the Takeda. The difference in price is over $100 and the horsepower gain is about 2. Bottom line is it's your money and your car. I couldn't justify a couple of horse power and spending more money on my car, Stillen is the favorite on here, Takeda is a good option if you're looking to save some money.

Takeda also has slightly easier maintenance unless there's a dry filter option for the stillen. You also need to watch the AC lines on the stillen. And cut holes to install properly.
Dry filter: rinse, let air dry, reinstall Oil filter: reoiling is a bit more time consuming since you need to let the oil wick and then reapply on any dry spots. |
Or you can save time and money on the short rams. 2 to 4 horses short of the long rubes and you don't have pull your front bumper off for maintenance. I have the Takeda short rams on mine.

I would never recommend a short ram hot air intake. Stock pulls cooler air than anything that pulls air from the engine compartment.

just to clarify, i got a dremel bit for under 5bucks cdn (1 dolla murica), took literally about 15 min in total. the driver side was more slowly and i actualyl did more than i needed in terms of widening. it's literally half an inch at the widest. plus had to be careful of the ac lines not to bang them. still anyone that can fap can do it.
slapped a weather strip between the intakes and the ac line and it's a snug fit. did a quick peek after a week (with dd'ing over crap roads and some spirited driving) and nothing has changed. the strip is still in place snug as ever. as other's said the are really only 2 options for intakes if you want any hp/tq gains. everything else is a waste of money. i like the sounds of the gen 3's... reminds me of the g35/37 exhaust notes sound when acclerating from around 2700 rpm |
I used a butter knife and my own muscles to make the holes. Man up.

a little disclosure to my above post
1) i've never taken a bumper off my car before 2) i've never taken an intake off in my life 3) i've never really played inside an engine bay before 4) i've never used a dremel bit in my life (i have used a drill =O) 5) i've never took off rivets before (okay small lie the ones in the hatch) i have 0 mechanical skills and never took shop class in my life and yet I could do it. I had a friend help out with unbolting some parts while i unbolted on another to help speed things up. you an do it yourself for sure with a wrench kit, elbow grease and a bit of patience. |
