lol kdo it's not spawn, it's someone that knows cars really well and the reason why I'm keeping confidentiality is for the sake of him and I don't think he wants reps from Stillen or Injen to know that he's saying things like this, and trust me he is not bashing on them it's just him being honest to me on what he thinks it's worth the money, remember guys, Long tubes have more bends and longer distance to travel then the stock airbox, the stock airbox is restrictive at top end. I can definitely go and drop $550 on a set of long tubes but realistically after hearing what he had to say and his data to back everything up I don't think I'd want to do long tubes.

My thing is, I would like to see this "data" you are speaking of.
Everything that has been posted on these boards have shown Stillen or Injen intakes are going to show positive gains even with other bolt on modifications.

Yep, Takeda went back and did a dyno themselves with Lou @ Amplified and got a gain of 7HP in the end. The difference was I do close hood dyno runs and they were doing open hood dyno runs. They claim that an open hood on SRI setups are "more realistic" to the air flow, I was not convinced on that though.

no because dreamer did and there was no gains according to his dyno so i felt it would be a wasted of money to do...

^ I will talk to him privately to see if it's okay for him to mention his name or maybe get his data to back it up. As far as I know he's a very respectful person when it comes to our car. But lemme find out exactly what I can do to show this data or not, and yes thanks everyone for the constructive discussion, it definitely helps when you get inputs.

I seem to recall KillerBee not seeing much gain out of the G3s.

Was his the Technosquare ordeal, where they did a base and then full Stillen bolt ons and got 15 rear wheel HP and then Tehcnosquare tuned the car and was showing gains of another 30 rear wheel HP or something?

Yeah, I think so. And then that other 370 site did an article write-up based on his ordeal making it sound like the G3 intakes don't yield much.

That was an interesting time, nothing really came out of it other than Killer has plenty of power in his Z, which in the end is all that really matters. And he loves his car.

why are the g3s being reffered to as long tubes? pretty lame.
