So G35TX you are saying that you have nevr EVER seen a G35 get a power gain from Injen.. You can search on this website and you will fine the thread about stillen and its power loss so I guess both Intakes are no good..

The Stillen gains more over the Injen. The only place the Injen gains is near top of the rpm range. It loses a lot more from stock down low. Stillen gains all over.

As for search and the thread you talk about. I just did and did not find one single post that shows a power loss.

The dyno shows a gain that is very negligible

At this time I have to consider the Stillen Hi-Flow Airbox as sound mod for the exhaust

Before
Z-tube+K&N, 1/2" MD spacer with ISO Kit, Invidia G200
249.00 HP _ 229.91 FT-LB

After
Z-tube+Stillen Hi-Flow Airbox, 1/2" MD spacer with ISO Kit, Invidia G200
250.36 HP _ 229.12 FT-LB

I think I'll go over all my connections again. I did have some problems with the 4 bolts connecting the MAF tube to the air box. It might not be a flush connection.

Ok G35TX looks like Stillen isn't so hot according to this DYNO sheet!! Stop knocking on Injen.. I have read countless forums with you just running your mouth about how great stillen is and I found just as much bad as I did good with Injen.. People are just scared of Injen b/c of hydro locking but that can easily be prevented apparently with the bypass valve....

Great! I decided on the Stillen based on your findings and DaveO's. DaveO had shared some additional info with me via a PM. I have been quite pleased with the Stillen HFAB since its installation.

So your gonna believe a dyno that doesn't have any info above 4k? It was flawed. Read through the damn topic!

Yea because I have done extensive research on products. Running my mouth off? That is why my car makes more than a lot of other cars with a ton of bolt ons. lol

It's people like you with the wrong information that cause others to get the wrong product.

No, you are wrong and are very annoying.. You don't think an Injen intake will make a gain on any G35 in the world?? So every single car that puts an Injen intake on their car will lose power.. The funny thing is if you had a stock car and I had a stock car you had Stillen and I had Injen I bet we would still be neck to neck so the argument about a stupid intake is pointless because all it does is add sound and like you said if that Dyno sheet only goes to 4k didn't you say that Injen shows gains past 5k and stillen shows more towards the low end soooooo I guess that Dyno sheet proves you wrong about Stillen's supposed low end power.. Stillen products are not the best products and your sedan isn't that fast compared to a lot of the other G's on this website with your three basic MODS and please post your Dyno sheet and post a Dyno sheet of an Injen intake losing power compared to stock.....

Where am I wrong? Where is your proof that I am wrong smart one?

I never said the Injen didn't gain, but it does gain high in the rpms. It loses down low a lot.

Neck and Neck eh? I have a friend with a 350z with injen and crawford and stillen exhaust. I actually walk away from him.

This weekend many 350z dynoed and all of them were below what I make easily. Most of them had Injens except the one with a K&N SEALED BOX CAI which made the same as I did but less tq. The ones with Injens could not get out of the 220s for tq, the ones without had 230-240s with tq.

As I said before, that dyno is flawed. And again if you read anything I typed you would have seen that I said that the Stillen Gained throughout the power band, the Injen does not. The Injen has more issues with turbulence and with a long tube cai it can cause loss in power as well. From a engineering standpoint it is not a good design for flow.

Find someone who has dynoed more than me with the same type of mods (not the same brand). I will await.

Until you can back your info up, please quit spewing bs.

yeah i heard that injen causes some problems and yes i heard of losing power by injen CAI.
initially i ordered injen CAI but i cancelled after thinking for a week.
i am low on budget so i am searching for the "right" intake.

A G35 Sedan has 260hp a Coupe has 280hp and 05 up have 298hp a 350Z has 287hp.. Each motor might be the same but all three are tuned different and will respond very different to mods.. Your conclusions are very vague and the mods you claim they have may not be true.. You have no solid info sorry but you are to bias towards Stillen.. Just be happy with what you have and if you don't like Injen then don't post...

Huh? I thought that the 350Z RevUp had 298hp, as well. No?
