i noticed the stillen z tube is around $20 cheaper than the oem z tube. the stillen z tube looks cheaper in quality though. have any of you had both or seen reviews on either? im pretty sure its the same stuff, but of course oem is of better quality and fitment. what are your opinions on both z tubes?

 

i have the stillen z tube
i think it actually looks better than the oem.
plus it doesnt have that ugly baffle area
it isn't 'cheap' quality at all
the only downside someone can say about it is that it doesnt have that harness to connect it to the engine bay, but it doesnt matter because your filter will most likely have a connection or one can be added to it to keep it stable
plus some little punk 350z owner cant say u had to upgrade just to get to their car stock (stupid little argument but u all know there are a bunch of kindergardener remarks that could be said)

 

save your money and get the stillen one. it's not a very complicated product. there's not much that can go wrong, especially with a brand like stillen.

 

can i see picture difference of the two? i dont know which one i have. i have a Z-tube but when i got it, it's shorter than my friend's Z-tube.

 

when and where did you get it from?

and it doesnt really matter...its just a z tube...

 

my tube is short...

 

is it installed right now?

 

oem


stillen

they should both fit without any problems

 

from the looks of it, i have the STILLEN z-tube. when i got it, JDM r TAB (ryan) was kinna clownin on my z-tube (he has the OEM z-tube). i had to put my own rubber connectors from my stock G-tube to the stillen z-tube. as you can already tell the stillen z-tube is a 3 piece whereas the OEM Z tube is a one piece.

 

yeah... i prefer the stock z tube.

 

That's not something I would have admitted to .

 

i was thinkin the same thing before, too. haha

 

It's a tube....there's really no difference. Move on to bigger things that extract more power.

 

its actually one piece

 

Actually there is a difference the Stillen Z tube bends so unlike the OEM Z tube which may rub.
