Can it competes with stillen?
price is $366.00

opinions

 

I like the idea of no cutting or drilling, but not how there isn't a shield to block water. Much cheaper too. Buy it and be our test subject!

 

KulG35 already test fitted it, check here

 

do you like how they sound? hows does the butt dyno feel?

 

How difficult was it too install?!? ^+1 Do you like the sound?!?

 

sound clip?

 

Pretty novel idea to use flexible rubber throught the core support instead of cutting. I wonder if there is any effect of changing the shape from round to ovoid there in order to squeeze through there. The price is definitely eye-opening.

Still looking into the water question, that is a concern I have. I am your test subject... I will try to get some sound clips up on youtube soon under "KulG35"

butt dyno is great and sound is good (hard to hear it, my K&N short ram was more throatier)

sound is good, install doesn't look bad... but they did the install

working on it, hopefully this weekend it will be on youtube "KulG35"... i will try to remember to post here as well.

I like the tubes and the bigger coupler better than the Stillen ones, but IMO that filter is kinda ugly. I prefer a pair of K&N's over that bulky looking thing which also lacks the hydro shield. But that PRICE!!! That's tough to compete with..

IMO it's a good cheaper alternative to the Stillen Gen 3's.

 

^ i know, i got the r2cs for that price, had i known bout this, i might have gone for this

 

I have the ionic grill and I really like the way this looks. No water shield is a definite concern though. it would look so sick if only the Ionic would fit!

 

interesting. i'd like to know about power gains...the posted gains are probably from dream world!

 

I wouldn't say that. Gen3 makes similar gains but those are at the very top of the rpm range.

The lack of a splash shield is a deal breaker in my opinion. Very strange they would go to the trouble of copying the design but not copy the splash shield.
