Thumbs up 1. Installed Z-tube+Stillen Air Box

Finally, I got the package today.
I installed them after oil chage and I Def. feel the difference. Very satisfied
It's the easist mod as seen from the bunch of threads.
it took about an hour to install both kit, but I had stucked ECU reseting process for 15min.
Due to the rain, I couldn't test her so leave her in the garage and will test tomorrow depends on weather.
Z-Tube and Intake is the most simple and effective mod for G.

Strongly recommend who wants to modify for the first time.

Next mod will be plenum(still hesitating b/t crawford & spacer) and grounding kit.

I will also update install instruction, and sound clips.(before and after)

This is the EXACT "combo" I am thinking about getting, the Stillen Intake with the Z-Tube.

Looking forward to your DIY instructions, pics and sound clips!!!

I just put in my Z-Tube with stillen air-- It gives a REALLY nice air sucking in sound when you get on it, and get off it quick-- its soo freaking cool.. Was talkin with a guy with an STi today and he was complimenting it as well...

I'd highly suggest you look into Crawford Hi-flowcats-- I don't know if my plenum helped the sound out at all... but the cats are ORGASMIC after 4k-- the sound is quite unbelieveable-- I didn't have dreamed they would have sounded that cool

I'll try and post up a drive-by sometime-- because thats when it sounds best, not when in nuet gassin it
