Sure buddy.
I think is a good start ! yay ! for stillen intake. Now save up for the plenum and highflow cats. leave the exhaust alone....its fine for these mods. stillen exhaust will give you some power, and will add 25lbs to your car. Good Start with intake though ! It will help when u add the plenum.
okay cheif

I haven't been updated with all the NA upgrades lately but Intake upgrades doesn't yield that much power on our Car period. If it does give more than 5whp then I want to see a Dyno coz I haven't seen one yet. I suggest that if you are going to advice people for mods that actually gives noticeable gain then stick with what people here had reviewed. The only Bolt-on that I know so far that really give some gains for NA are Plenum/Spacer upgrade and Crawford Headers, these are the only bolt-on so far that does make real gains (over 10+ whp).
I just installed mine. I got it last week, I didn't notice the car throwing me back any harder. but it felt like I had quicker throttle response. Like the car now wanted to take off when I punched it.
if you add only an intake on our cars, you won't gain many hps....
but if you combine an intake with mRev/plenum spacers, headers, high flow cats, exhaust (or just a couple of these) you def. gain a lot of hps with an aftermarket intake

/\ so are you saying that if Mrev add 15+HP that having an after market intake will yield 20+hp? Show me the dyno. Our intake is already efficient and I doubt that that CAI will wake up the monster sleeping inside the Spacer/Mrev2. The bottle neck was always our OEM plenum and not our Intake. Please stop using Rice math here, and I never heard from Hydrazine promote an CAI for better flow of air on their Plenum/spacer.
Z-tube and just a K&N drop in filter is more than enough to get air flowing in our system.

i don't remember ever saying that an intake + mRev would yield 20 hps...
and where in my post do you see rice math??? i don't claim any hp gains in specific numbers...
1 more thing, when i say after market intake i certainly do not mean KnN
(They suck ****TTT vs apexi, pop charger, nismo, any other intake is better than a drop in KnN)
all i'm saying is that while an intake on a stock G would prolly yield 1 hp gain, if that (and many can attest to this)... an intake on a G with mRev, headers, hfc, exhaust would most likely gain a lot more than just 1 hp from the same intake
edit: if our intake is enough, why even get a drop in KnN filter?

More than sound...............
Ok, you may not notice any gain for your $250 but
once you add the exhaust and Mrev it all works
togeather......at this point you'll really notice the
diffrence.
