Not that there is anything really wrong with the sounds of other exhausts, it's just what matches the street look of the car that I am building, if that makes any since.

Intake was a little challenging to install, you will need a dremel or other precision cutting tool to install and more than likely you will need a roll of adhesive padding tape from home depot due to the close clearance on the drivers side intake, which usually taps the inner fender well on startup and rattles a little at idle, easily eliminated with this foam sided tape. The exhaust was really easy as some are on install. Did it myself no extra hands.

I will upload a pic of under hood in the morning.
Glad to hear you didn't have any major issues with install. Yeah for the most part intake installs need extra tweeking to get the fitment to work. Did your filters have any clearance issues with the hood liner?

The Stillen GEN 3 intake filters technically are NOT under the hood per say, but in front of the radiator, which requires front nose removal. Removal is pretty easy except for 2 bolts that will just take a little time to get out. I highly recommend taping up all the paint around where the nose and the fender and headlights meet up as you WILL scratch your paint if you are not careful. 10 min to just put tape all over the fenders will save you a lot of headache.

So to answer your question, no, no hood interference. BUT remember you will have to open up the pass through where the stock airboxes were in order for the intake pipes to get where they need to go. You will need a cutting device (Dremel or similar tool) to do this and where you have to cut will be real close to AC lines, cutting those would be bad and pricey.

How do you like the pulley? Do you think it's worth it?

Hard to really say. I can tell you the engine will seem a bit more responsive and rev a little faster. That's about 3.5lbs of spinning weight gone...But I like it anyways

To run the Z1 headers you have to run their cats or test pipes because the bolt pattern is the DE engine bolt pattern. Some of the best sounding cats I have heard. Kinetix stuff is raspy where the Z1 stuff has zero rasp and flow much better due to the fact that the header collector and cat inside diameter of the pipes are the same size.


Hope that helps.

Not 100% sure. I may keep stock akebono calipers and do ebc red stuff pads with dba 5000 series rotors, steel braided lines and call it done.
