Yeah the gen3 worries me about the placement. I like the R2C but something about it keeps me away... I don't see myself personally coming to a conclusion anytime soon. I think I am just going to get some K&N drop in's for the time being for myself while I get as much input from you guys over time. Good luck with the Injen's AesonVirus, hope your happy with them. I know you were jumping around at one point like I am now.

 

Yeah, I'm a mess!
I still want the Injen long tubes but my mod purse shrunk in the wash...

This economy sucks!!! It's crimping my style!

 

Haha. Think how I feel I just got my G, I need to catch up to you guys. I have a wish list like you couldn't imagine right now. Don't have much in the mod bank either but thats not stopping me from getting my trunk spoiler . This is what maybe a week from getting my grounding kit? I mod bug has quite the bite on my behind.

 

I thought there was some cutting to be done on the G35 to get the Stillen G3s in front of the radiator. I only have K&N drop ins right now, but I am definitely looking at the R2C when I can.

Hopefully I can work on my black out grill and sub install this weekend though.

 

stillen gen3. no issues when washing the car. I 've had it for 6 months now with NO ISSUES AT ALL. I WASH THE CAR ONCE A WEEK

 

Hmmmm, what about doing a Stillen G3 long tubes with dry filter technology??? Anyone....

 

I've read several reviews on the Injen SRI and even though this thread had me on the fence to cancel and look into other options again, I'm moving forward with them.
They're easy to install, filters are very accessable, the Amsoil filters are dry and have a good rep, nobody has experienced lag or loss of performance and after a hard 30 minute drive, the tubes feel cool to the touch, while the filter area is noticably cooler than the rest of the engine bay.
For $300-, I really can't pass this opportunity up.
Hopefully, I'm happy with them.

Down the road, I may end up going CAI, but for now, this is a killer deal.

 

Perhaps they've got the best seal, but looking at the design of the R2C filters it has to be since the element pulls in air only from the sides, and if it wasn't sealed the way it is, it'll be pulling in air mostly from inside the engine bay.

On the Injen SRI, on the other hand, there's also a filter element right where the OEM intake duct is that feeds air into it from in front of the grill, so it does not have to seal up as much.

But there's no arguing that each intake has their own pro's/con's and are made of rather high quality materials.

 

Installed a set of Stillen Short Tube Cold Air Intake and love them.
Improved low end torque, great sound, easy install and good price.
