go with gen 3s

 

You say that dj, but thats not what you put on your car, right?

 

Go with Gen 3 ;-)

 

The Injen CAI is good, but cleaning the filters was a bitch. I would go with the Stillen G3 if I were to do it again.

 

I just installed the Injen on my 07 yesterday so I have little experience with them yet. I do like the sound and as far as hydro lock goes, yes they are more susceptible but seems with the splash guards in place it shouldn't be a problem, unless you drive through a foot of water.

 

So far I have called both dealers for pricing and neither parts dep.'s know anything about it. Come on alreadyyyy!!!

 

Pm Josh@stillen ... He is on the forum here

 

Thanks Kul!,
I finally got through and they said they could order it for me but would not do the installation because it "deals with too much cutting parts etc". That's fine I was wanting to install it myself anyway, $525 +tax basically the price that they got off stillen.com. However they did have the gen 2 but that is about $500 more including installation. I'm going to go order it tomorrow when I have time to leave work. By the way I asked about warrenty issues and his statement was: "the only time you would run into any sticky issues with the warrenty not covering a part would be if the intakes sucked water in and possibly cause a mass air flow sensor to malfunction". That basically means that any brand intake would be ok to put on a vehicle with warrenty but just be cautious in bad weather conditions. I'm sure all of you already knew this but just wanted to reinstate it for those who are still a little curious!
Anyways, enough talk lets do this!!!

 

Congrats and good luck! The install on the gen 3 intake doesn't appear to be that difficult although there is some modification needed to the inlets. I have been driving around in the rain all day today and have had zero issues, as far as the hydrolocking was concerned.

 

Thank you! yeah their are some helpful videos on youtube that I've seen and it wont be that diffecult. As for the weather, gotta love that Bi-polar Dallas weather lol.

 

Ya, work with Josh@stillen and he'll take care of you. He's top notch! I would for sure do gen 3!!! Huge difference... The cutting is minor (see my threads).

 

Yes sir he actually contacted me and we are taking care of it... Thanks again Kul!

 

Np... Enjoy!

 

update:
so I went in today for just regular scheduled maintenance at sewell Infiniti and ordered the gen 3 stillen CAI and should be getting it in pretty soon. However, I spoke to Crest Infiniti and the gent there told me that if I install it myself it will void your warrenty and that we charge 200 for installation. I went ahead and got my second opinion at Sewell and my Advisor told me that no intake will void your warrenty, and that the only time your warrenty won't cover a fix would be if the aftermarket part was the cause of the issue etc. In general the feeling that I got was that crest infiniti was trying to a get a little chunk change lol no biggy. JOSH AT STILLEN WAS VERY HELPFUL!!!! Thanks brotha!
Thanks to everyone for looking out!
