Stillen Z-Tube intake or 5/16 plenum spacer?
I currently have an exhaust on my car and don't know which mod to get next. Which would be better? A Stillen intake + Z-tube or a 5/16 plenum spacer? which would give more power?
thanks!

Get the spacer first, then get a K&N drop in and a z tube, I heard the stillen intake isn't worth it.

You won’t see any noticeable power from an intake but the spacer you will...

Not to be rude but next time search this question has come up a few times

im pretty sure on the 5/16th you can fit the stock engine cover and the 1/2 only gives about +1hp more then the 5/16th in
