just buy this and it will bolt right in?

also looked up the k&N drop in filter...doesnt really seem worth puttin in from what I read? thanks alot.

 

yes that will work...stillen is a good alternative to the oem z-tube

 

great thanks alot.

 

Stillen should work fine. You might have to use some of the hardware from your existing OEM tube to install. It takes minutes to put in. As far as KN filter, there are lots of options besides KN but I think that will be the safest from heat soak. Good luck!

 

That isn't the z-tube, that's stillen's version. It will work but isn't the oem z-tube that most people are referring to when they say z-tube.

Don't expect anything noticeable at all from it though fyi.

 

Yep you are good to go with that.
As far as the filter goes, it's personal preference.
I have a K&N filter for a few reasons.
A: I didnt research the filter enough and it seems that the K&N performs less than or equal to the OEM filter depending on the test
B: I like the idea of a reusable filter. I've had K&N filters on all my cars in one form or another for years.

I dont regret the K&N, im happy with it. No complaints.
Z-tube gets a thumbs up from me.

 

I did read that no one really notices the power increase but the overall engine sound is worth the money???

 

Ehhh depends on what your idea of worth it is. I don't regret getting mine, but my popcharger and exhaust make unmeasurable amounts more of an impact on sound that a z-tube. It really depends on if you want to know that with the z-tube your car *should* be breathing better that stock, and if that is worth the price tag to you.

 

If you intend to keep the OE box the Stillen Z-Tube is an excellent choice, and the K&N drop in filter does a great job. You're gonna love the sound of this combination....

PM me if you are in Socal and I can hook you up with my custom Z-setup....big gains with not setbacks!

 

This is what I have. So is this Stillen or OEM? Because I always thought that this was OEM.

 

Sean....^....has some great ideas about cold air intakes, best choice!

Link to said setup?

I like my CF tube, it's different and matches some other bits under my hood.

 

^no link, I fly under the radar!

 

This is the Stillen Z-tube.
