Rev-Up airbox on a VQ35DE - special note
#306
Here's another paraphrased mis-quote by you (a common theme I've noticed.)
BTW, unless the original questioner had the same setup as you, your experiences with the Stillen aren't really that relevant. The Stillen may work better for you, but that doesn't mean it will work better for him with his near-stock setup. My suggestion to him was to save the money from the Stillen because it would be a waste and better spent elsewhere. That's still true. Or do you think he will benefit from it over the OEM?
I agree on the wasted time. No point in listening to someone blather on and call people stupid when all he's got to fall back on is his butt dyno regarding the intake's effectiveness.

Which, of course, isn't what I said, but you seem to like paraphrasing people so you can make your point better instead of quoting them accurately.
Not exacly "mpg is lower". You haven't shown it to be inaccurate, other than to tell us of the ridiculously short trip you based your "similar mileage" claim on. You know, the one where I pointed out the numerous variables that weren't accounted for? DaveB also pointed out several potential fuel/air/timing changes that can occur because of the Stillen while standing still, all of which can affect gas mileage, and none of which you've countered. And if you'd studied statistics at all you'd know that 100 miles is grossly inadequate to base any claim on.

"As good as or better" is not quite the same as "OEM is a better airbox". Another statement of mine you haven't shown to be inaccurate. Please try and read all the words I write instead making up something "similar" that fits your side of the discussion.
