Well I decided to put my friend and shop owner to the challenge of making me custom intakes for my Z. I wanted something like the long tube intakes on the market but with a little uniqueness. And I got some awesome flawless intakes! Enjoy!
*I did post something similar to this thread in the SouthEast section of the forum.

 

looks nice... how do they perform?

 

They perform well, they add a nice sound to the car, and a moderate hp increase, Im assuming I will probably see more of an increase when I get tuned.

 

how much more? dyno?

 

I haven't been at the dyno yet, I just got these done on wed of this past week, but I will be going to the dyno shortly.

 

you have a baseline dyno, right?

 

thats sick dude. great job on that.

 

Great minds think alike! I did not want to pay the $$$ for some Stillen intakes that take no more than 100$ to manufacture. So much like you I made my own Intakes glad to see more people out t here like myself.




Mine are Nismo INtakes with my own Custom Extensions. now I'm looking into Thermal Wrap to keep the heat away from the Metal Tubing. the air to actually stay cold.

Thats Awesome, and great minds do think alike! Great Work and Thinking with the extensions and thermal wrap. Your welds look good as well.

 

Very clean. Good work.

 

great job guys
i have the stillen gen 2's
how much to make some tubes for me

 

I have stillen gen 3 long tubes. they are excellent. but i agree with you, and it seems u've achieved identical results at a fraction of the cost.

 

Same thing as the Injen SP1987 intake setup, just cheaper! Nice job

 

Excellent work guys! Now paint 'em black.

 

Nice! I have the stillen G3's as well, but I got them with a good discount So I am not too worried about how much I spent. I have always wondered though. I used to have the Fujita Short rams, and I really LOVED how the intakes sounded because they had the "vortex" like inward bottom. However, the filters looked exactly the same size as the K and N ones that come on the Stillens. Would it be possible that the Fujitas would fit snugly, after tightening them on the intakes, get the better sound, while not decreasing air flow? The fujitas were very high flow from what I have read.

 

They sounded different because the filters were located in the engine bay. Has very little to do with the actual filter element, only its location.

 

Oh okay, I thought Fujita was slightly more unique because of the shape of the top of the filter where the air has a spot to rush into. It looks different than other filters. Just a thought I had!

 

yeah I was thinking the same thing I'm trying to find the Right product to repel the heat of the Engine bay without looking like garbage. or I might just get a Vented hood. if anyone in socal wants to get this done just PM me I'll be more than happy to help you guys out! after all thats what the comunity is for

also Swanson do you have any plans or Ideas on what you are going to use to wrap the intakes up with?

 

you two should make more and go into business, after dyno resukts of course. nice work guys

 

when i was using the fujita i wrapped mines with 1" header wrap. Plastic tubes would stay cooler though.
