OEM Z Tube, Stillen Z Tube, Or Carbon Fiber Z Tube?
Hey, I'm new to the forums (just got my 03 coupe 2 weeks ago) and was wondering which is the better way to go as far as the Z tube. Is there a difference between the Stillen Z Tube and OEM Z tube? Stillen is selling these cheaper than OEM ($59.95) Also, Ive found a carbon fiber Z Tube for $115. Of course it looks better, but does it perform as well? I'd pay extra for the CF, but I wouldnt want it to perform less>look better. Does any one know if these soak more heat? Also, is the Stillen tube compatible with the JWT Pop Charger, or just their own intake? I've already got my mind set on the JWT. Thanks.

I have the JWT and stillen Z-tube... the oem and stillen are the same pretty much the stillen is cheaper since its shorter... getting the CF would tight but you need more CF in the engine bay to match it

Stillens Z Tube.........
Unless you intend to carry the CF theme through out the engine compartment purchasing the CF Z-Tube is a waste of $! The Stillen Z-Tube works fine and even better with his cold air intake which contains a large K&N filter. The OEM tube directs the air thru a box thus slowing down the air available to the plenum......but not enough to tell.
