What do you mean by hissing noise? Check out this exhaust http://www.carid.com/2006-i
STRONG LOL at the $5-600 needed to install sway bars, ART pipes, a spacer, and exhaust. Op if you have a pair of hands this should be no problem lol especially hearing about your previous cars.....
And op we "idiots" on here have proven time and time again the z tube and revup box with a drop in is completely fine for an intake.
The money spent for a hissing noise can be put towards a MUCH better-than-stillen, motordyne exhaust.
Welcome btw. Try to filter out the unintelligent posts best you can.

Totally not worth $2-300 and possible hp loss. The z tube is proven. They make polished z tubes if you want the bling. If you really want an intake look at furookies. Much cleaner design.
Also your link leads to no where

heres what i would get since i already did it lol
used stillen single wall true dual - 750 installed
hotchiks swaybars - 325?
copper plenum spacer - 250??
art test pipes - 550?
injen sp cold air intake - 225 ( trust me on this the noise alone it makes is epic )
grounding wire kit from sxeces or w.e it is lol - 100$
youll need at least 500-600$ to install all of that. id save the rest for more engine bolt ons then id get a tune..
its only worth getting a tune IMO after you get everything you want unless you want 15 tunes
also if you have manual, alot of people say to get the mrev 2 with the plenum spacer for max gains.
also id probably stay away from those pulley things. they might add HP but from what i keep reading the rotational mass isnt even anymore so it'll damage it sooner or later. who knows ill have to ask people who actually know what there talking about then taking these idiots advice LOL

Of course bolt ons aren't going to produce serious power. I've worked on cars I had a project car and wrecked it like a dumb*** in the winter. I know atleast the basics. I'm trying to get myself setup for more serious power in the future considering turbo first step is going to be the basics the bolt ons the high flow cats blender throttle body gears suspension etc. I expected some wisdom and knowledge coming from the forum to help me out, this is the beginning, not even close to forging and rebuilding the engine but always start off with the basics to set myself up for the serious things to come in the future, can't run a turbo through stock exhuast, well you could but I never would..

I came from a few camaros too, and we're not saying you don't know your way around a motor, but the VQ is definitely different. For instance, yeah, you don't usually get a ton of HP from bolt ons, but this motor is exceptionally non responsive. More so than a GM motor. Plenty of things to improve on a GM platform, but they pretty much covered all the bases on this motor. Turboing wouldn't be worth it to me unless you went straight to forged internals. Wouldn't waste the time with the stock stuff. If you're interested, there's a vendor on here who sells built motor packages ready to turbo. That's where I'm going when the time comes.
