Angry Thank you Stillen...

FYI I'm going to rant! Thank you Stillen... for making an intake most people have removed it because it sucked, actually poor choice of words...if it did that properly I would not be writing this, it is worthless . I like many others have experienced LOSSES when we installed them. Now, we have a "$496" intake I personally can't give away!

Seriously, Stillen needs to REDO an intake and swap it out for these defective POS edition ones currently out.

Honestly, if someone was to offer me decent meal or some other part or cell phone or anything... I would probably take them up on it. My JWT is on its way...thank god! If I can't get rid of this in a month, I'm seriously just going to go to stillen and drop it off and be like, here's some scrap metal if you want to try to design an intake...

Thanks, that is all... much better

Let Stillen know. It's the only way they will improve upon it.

BTW, I haven't really heard anything about this.

I assured you, I have and they were like...it's dyno proven in our shop. They sent me their dyno: http://www.stillen.com/product_files/402843~dyno.pdf
I assume that bias on their machine... and it still looks terrible and inconsistent!

http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...W01&c=PE&m=all adds 10hp and 9tq my @$$

there are a lot of stillen and fujita being removed from dyno losses and poor performance.

LOL, I never heard that... ya def learned my lesson....

When buying new parts:

1) Search forum for 1 week on that part

2) Ask questions about that part if needed

3) Don't by 'Stealin'

4) Start from top if necessary.

I hope for your sake (as well as for your sanity and wallet) that the JWT provides better results in our Sedans.
I'll wait and decide after seeing your results.

Honestly, I have spend realistically 5 hours reading articles, searching forums and JWT and Injen seem to be the most consistent...but JWT is cheaper and not a pain to install.

I don't mind if I get NO gains... as long as its not a loss. I bought the Stillen simply because with the box and didn't show filter I thought it looked clean. so if i had no gains i'd be chill with the stillen...however that was not the case.

jwt filters r made so that can only fit on their intakes
i know it sucks but jwt's design is sick
if the filter worked, i wouldve put them on my injens i got on now lol

and the injens r worth the money guys
i got them on, and its amazing. at 3500rpm the car souonds so sweet
jwt will give u more hp than injen but injen is just louder

How are you so sure you're losing power? Butt dyno or proper dyno?
