Well after a few weeks of riding around with my STILLEN Gen 3 and cat-back exhaust, all can truly say my G is alive! When I first got both, I first bolted on the exhaust. It added more pick up, and a sweet growl which sounds like stock. When I step on it...here we go! The VQ really shines through. Next I installed the intake a week later so I could really see the effect of it. What do ya know...a smoother pull through the entire power band. What I really love about it is it further enhanced the performance sound of the exhaust. I can truely say it was money well spent, and I highly recommend this combo to other sedan riders out there!

your take is NOTHING without a video..

 

Take it easy there big guy! I'm sure your set up sounds great but that mega power gain u r talkn about is all sound and mental! U might of picked up a realistic 7-9 wrhp total on that setup-its not a supercharger! Anway have fun with it and I'm sure it sounds great! Good luck

 

I don't remember where I spoke of a mega power gain in my post. Besides who would I be to just throw unverified numbers out there (7-9 HP)?

 

I got ya covered, but DMV weather sucks today.

 

did u happen to read your post again b4 responding 2 me? "here we go!" "comes to life" "feel the power!" i thought either i read wrong as i was reading and u said stillen supercharger-(but re read and saw intake) or you were paid by stillen 2 sell this review! dude u gotta admit u laid it on a bit thick! also 7-9 hp to the wheels is being generous-doubt u got that! but what do i know?! ive had my car dynoed and dragged my car at different tracks numerous times and similar mods (and some) 2 u-nuttn personal bro just enjoy your new sounding car

 

^^^Hmmm...I read it as if the OP was just super excited about his new intake and exhaust. The butt dyno said it felt some gains. So be it!

Congrats and I can't wait to hear the set up!

 

Couldn't have said it better. I only wish Stillen was paying me to endorse them. Lol. The weather will be much better tomorrow, so I'll get some media up after cleaning up my ride.

 

From the end-user perspective, how much material did you end up cutting out of the way for the Gen3? I have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket, and I'm itching to upgrade!

However, in all likelyhood I'll be going FI in the very, very near future... so the Gen3 would be out the door pretty quickly if that happens.

 

I cut most of the material on the side of the port closest to the engine, basically in line with the surrounding metal. The course sandpaper attachment on my dremel did the trick. The install wasn't that bad. There was just quite a bit to disassemble, and attention to detail when enlarging the holes for the pipes.

 

If you want to check out the setup, you're local so let me know. Also you plan on running FI on your sedan? Talk about a sleeper on the road! One day I'll step up to that plate for sure. Is it that the pipes are too big/small for an FI setup?

 

FI systems have their own intakes.

 

Ah! I guess the good news is that the Gen 3 is in pretty decent demand.

 

Looks good, i'm debating between stillen and the one piece takeda intake.
