Stillen exhaust and added tomei test pipes recently. Hope to put up some audio clips once i get my tune done.

 

I know not many of you are fond of Top Speed exhaust right now due to some drama with the group buy, but I really enjoy the sound and have only a few complaints with it.

But, to the point: I was thinking about throwing on K&N Typhoon intake. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this, if any? Should I look into other intake or not even bother? I've heard that adding intake with this exhaust does not make really any sound difference.

Thoughts/advice/general statements are appreciated.

Thanks!

 

why not the stillen cold air intakes?

and the k&N retail for almost $450!

i dont really like the thought of short ram intakes cause of the heat issues (even with a shield).

id go for the stillen.

 

2GoRNot2G has a clean set of K&N intakes hes selling hit him up!

 

Thank you! What are your issues with the heat aspect?

 

well you basically want to place the air filter as far away from the hot engine as possible. When an engine takes in colder air, it's packed with more oxygen, and creates more power.

and on top of that it just looks better haha

 

Thats my current setup (Stillen gen 3/Topspeed exhaust) and I love it!! sounds insane

 

okay I see what you mean! Aren't the Stillen gen 3s difficult to install because you have to cut a bigger hole in order to make it fit correctly?

 

You do have to make the holes bigger but its really not that difficult man I did it myself and it brings instructions

 

in my opinion and with my history of intakes, my suggestion is not to waste money on the intake. It really is for looks and sound only. You will almost certainly lose some low end power with intakes all for the benefit of a few extra HP on the top end. not worth it if you ask me.

 

Yep, get coilovers instead

 

Okay cool guys, thanks! I'll look into both set ups.

 

Stock airbox is perfect, just get some K&N drop in airfilters and replace the stock tubes for some Z1 HR intake pipes or other equivalent carbon/ss.

I'm thinking of wrapping my intake pipes with heat reflective gold foil to reduce the intake temps.

 

What does the Z1 tubes do, are they from the 350Z?

 

350z HR/370z/G37, yes.
