Tanabe and R2C Intake
#46
Does the R2C really make sense to get. The stillen gen 3 was not a bad install at all. The R2C looks better behind the grille of the G but isnt it alittle counter productive to have both sides sucking from the same filter fighting against each other to get the air that it needs? Just my .02 plus if you ever need to replace the filter it will be alot easier to find the K&N that the stillen uses at almost any auto parts store. If you look at the picture below it took 5 minutes to cut it out and then put a hose around the cut with alittle silicon so you dont get any rattle.

The R2C is still a much easier install than the stillen. Also, some prefer the sound, and most prefer the black nickel finish. Those who aren't looking for 5 hp would rather mitigate the risk of water getting to the filters. Lastly, R2C filters are long lasting and a little easier to get to for cleaning.
