Do you guys think these are worth buying

Project Kics Magnetic oil drain plug
Air diversion panel (flow more air threw the radiator)
stillen engine damper

i was wondering about these small mods, wondering if they were worth the purchase.

also which swap bar is better cusco or stillen - stillen is adjustable front and rear. but cusco is only adjustable front.

let me know what feedback you have on these items thanks

magnetic oil dran plug. Getting a magent for your oil filter would make more sense to me. Larger magnet, and the oil actually passes through there.

Air diversion panel is a waste of money imo. It blocks off air that flows through the grill and up into the intake "snorkel". imo, its a mod for looks that hurts performance.

Stillen engine damper. You wont feel a difference... or at least I didnt. In theory, it makes sense and helps. I reved my motor and reved my brothers G35, and I can tell the engine torqued less where the damper was. People complain about added vibration... I couldnt tell. BUt then again, I recently installed the Sun Auto hyperforce (not to be confused for the hypervoltage), and my engine ran and idled alot smoother. So I figured the added vibration of the damper added the extra vibrations I was used to w/o the hyperforce... making the vibrations back to stock again. I dont know if I just made sence or not. If I didnt, too bad, I dont feel like checking what I wrote and re-wording it.

Yeah, but is the entire intake system the same as the 06? I doubt it. What works for other cars, doesnt always mean it'll work for our cars :]

Engine dampener doesnt' really help on our cars, their RWD. Mostly for FWD drive cars that are harder to launch.

The Magnetic Drain Plug is a good idea though.. I had one on my previous car and holy crap did it build up.
