I was just trying to save a few bucks. With all the negative comments and not one positive, I'm done with this forum. I've seen too many negatives here. A guy just wants an opinion on something and gets bashed.
Bye! Dont let the door hitcha where the good lord splitcha!

GEEZ they are $55 on stillen.com thats less than a tank of gass its pretty affordable, take the tape off your intake until you can spare the $55.

Sorry everyone. I just can't wait modify my G. My wife has other priorities for me. I'll get the right parts soon. The tape is gone, but it gave me a good idea what it will sound like. The $45 dollar intake is tempting, but I've had my eyes on the Stillen intake. Thanks for all the input. We can put this one to rest. Oh and the wheels and tires were more like $2100 not 3k, I exaggerated.

Although I want a polished Z-tube, I will probably just get the Stillen one. The factory air box with K&N and Z-Tube on top is fine for me. I am looking for sound more the HP anyways. Since I want to keep my factory engine cover, I think the Polished will stick out to much where the factory resonator box sits and the black Stillen one will blend in more. The $45 intake on ebay will probably do more damage then good as it will suck in hot engine air. The factory intake from what I have read on here is actually pretty good.

I found this on this site:

I knew I wasn't the only cheap idiot. Don't worry. I won't do it, but I'm all for new money saving ideas.

That's sorta along the lines of the motorcycle slogan "Loud Pipes Save Lives", right?
