I'm no engineer, or even a gearhead, so I could be way out of line, but:
If they actually provide the same horse as the g3, it's not because it's getting cooler air from down below like the G3, it's getting it by sucking more air. So we would have to ask ourselves why it's sucking more air, which could be the angles or size of the pipes, the surface area of the filter (less likely), or the filtration rate. I don't believe it's the first two, so my thoughts go to filtration. Less filtration = increased air intake. Unfortunately, that also means more junk into your engine. |

K&N for example claims to be 99% as efficient as a stock filter. While 1% doesn't sound like jack shit, over the life of a 150K mile car, that could be HUGE.

I really like the looks of this one a lot better. Does the G37 model fit our cars? It doesn't say on their website. And how much is it? |

Average person keeps a car 8 years, would you hit 150k in that time frame?

Does this cover(circled) serve any purpose or function?

i would assume they fit because the engine bay is exactly the same
from the radiator the the firewall, it's the same. radiator to bumper is different, which is why the Stillen Gen 3 arent the same model# for both cars. |
