Default Stillen Generation 2 Long Tube Dual Intakes

I tried searching but didn't find any relevant information pertaining to this, but does anyone have these on their HR Z and what do you guys think about it? I wanted to go with the Gen 3s but they're a bit out of my price range (broke college student lol), and the installation seems a bit more difficult.

I'm not expecting huge performance gains if any however I guess and I've heard they make the car sound a lot meaner so I'd love to see some videos as well if anyone has any. Couldn't find them youtube :/

Thanks in advance

My buddy had these on his Z and actually had better dyno's than with the gen 3's. They won't be as loud as the gen 3's but they are easier to install, like you said.

However I think his case was particular as I had a better dyno than either of his set-ups with my Injen Longtubes (like gen. 3's).

Hope this helps. But if you're really a broke college student and can't afford gen 3's, I'd not bother personally. Nothing wrong with the stock intakes.. they only hold power back at the very top of the RPM range.

If I were you I'd save for a used set then of G3, they are proven to give results. Have them in my 370Z and man what a difference.

Thanks for the quick reply. Wow really? Gen 2s sowed better gains? Interesting...but yeah I agree I shouldn't be looking because the stocks are great however I came across a pair of the Gen 2s for a really really good price and just wanted to see if I should jump on them or not...

The gentleman that's selling them also went with the Injen longtubes on his G37 and he said if it wasn't such a hassle taking the Injens off he'd prolly leave the Stillens on because they sounded a bit better

If you can get a good enough deal on the Gen 2's and want the sound then go for 'em man. Just don't expect any powah.

cheers,
John

I have the gen 2's and I got a good boost outta 'em, install was pretty easy for the most part, took about an hour with simple tools. Just note, u might need 2 small hose clamps for the vacuum lines since mine didn't have them (zipties ftw). My current dyno with the gen 2's, berk HFC's, 2.5 custom true duals, and osiris is at 295.4rwhp on dynapacks.
